When it comes to Tyler Perry, he has a knack for stirring the online temps, and he stepped into the spotlight with his signature two-step and a playful clap during his viral spirit tunnel moment on The Jennifer Hudson Show.
In the clip that’s been circulating, Perry is pictured gleefully bouncing through the celebrated tunnel, holding back from delivering a full Madea-inspired pop-and-popper finish as the grand finale.
As expected, the online world exploded with side-splitting memes, remixes, and video recreations that perfectly captured Perry’s carefree antics at the heart of the meme universe.
For Perry, the moment served a dual purpose: he used the appearance to promote his Netflix threequel, Why Did I Get Married Again?, which was sitting at No. 1 on the platform’s charts.
During the chat, when Hudson asked whether he intends to marry again, Perry—who isn’t known for his fondness of marriage—offered this reply:
“Nope!” he replied, eliciting laughter from the audience. “It’s not the marriage that gets to me, it’s the divorce,” noted Perry, who recently turned 57.
“Everyone I know who did well and then fell apart financially did so because of a divorce. So I’m happy staying unbound.”
