\n M\u2019s got TikTok chops.<\/p>\n

Since the UK shuttered theaters over coronavirus concerns, that nation\u2019s finest thespians have struggled to stay entertained. Fortunately, Shakespearean actress Dame Judi Dench has found an unlikely way to occupy herself during lockdown: filming viral videos on TikTok with her 22-year-old grandson, Sam Williams.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt [Tik Tok] saved my life,\u201d the 85-year-old Oscar winner said in an interview with Channel 4 News<\/a> about the various skits and dance numbers, which each regularly rack up more than 100,000 likes. Dench even choreographed many of the dance routines herself, while Williams took charge of the editing and other technical aspects.<\/p>\n

In one of the scintillating clips, swivel-hipped Dench and Williams can be seen grooving \u2014 quite impressively, we might add \u2014 to \u201cLaxed (Siren Beat)\u201d by Jawsh 685, while another depicts the sharp-tongued senior ruining her grandson\u2019s jokes by providing her own punch lines.<\/p>\n

It might seem ridiculous that a video platform rife with scatological clips and potentially deadly pranks is an Academy Award winner\u2019s salvation. However, Dench claims that TikTok helps her cope in a climate where \u201cevery day is so uncharted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou wake up and you wonder what day it is, and then you wonder what date it is and sometimes what month,\u201d lamented the James Bond actress. \u201cAnd then you think, \u2018Well, what do I do today?\u2019 And if the prospect is, \u2018Well, what is there to do today?\u2019\u2009\u201d<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Williams keeps his grandma busy. \u201cHe made me do it,\u201d said the octogenarian of her \u201cstrict\u201d grandson. \u201cI had to rehearse all those moves; don\u2019t just think that comes naturally.\u201d<\/p>\n

She cheekily joked, \u201cI hope I\u2019m asked to do more, but of course, I can\u2019t ask for the part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite Dench\u2019s enjoyment of her newfound pursuit, here\u2019s hoping TikTok doesn\u2019t become the stage legend\u2019s permanent home in lieu of actual theaters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWill they ever open again? I don\u2019t know,\u201d wondered the acclaimed actress, who formerly worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre in the UK. \u201cCertainly, I\u2019m sure not in my lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dench isn\u2019t the only older British thespian turning to TikTok to stave off the COVID-19 doldrums. In May, Sir Anthony Hopkins, 82, made his entrance onto the video platform in dramatic fashion by performing Drake\u2019s \u201cToosie Slide.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
