On TikTok, Husbands Are Hilariously Recreating Aaron Pierre’s Viral ‘That’s Mufasa” Spirit Tunnel Walk from ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show’

From the moment he stepped on to the red carpet at the premiere of “Mufasa: The Lion King,” actor Aaron Pierre has had the internet under the spell of his piercing green eyes. People can’t stop gushing about the 30-year-old Brit, who voices the film’s main character, dubbing him and his beautiful family a group of “rich, sexy vampires.”

So when he stopped by “The Jennifer Hudson Show” back in December, he got an especially warm welcome from the staff, who clapped and chanted, “Aaron Pierre, that’s Mufasa,” as he strut through the backstage hallway giving smiles and high fives to practically everyone he passed.

As you probably could have guessed, the “Aaron Pierre Spirit Tunnel” clip broke the internet, racking up over 1.3 million views on YouTube alone. If you haven’t seen it, you have to check it out here:

Now, lots of ladies on TikTok are trying to make their own Mufasa magic at home, getting their men to recreate Pierre’s soulful walk – and their videos are going viral.

TV personality Sophia O. Williams posted a clip of her man showing off his smooth moves, and fans couldn’t get enough.

“JJ needs his own show-Always showing off 🥰🥰,” wrote someone in the comments.

Check out @cely1990, who posted a clip of her man coming in the door doing the Mufasa dance.

“I have my own Mufasa at home,” she captioned her post, which has received close to 150,000 likes.

And commenters were not mad at what they saw.

“I mean… that’s not a bad substitute,” wrote someone.

TikToker @javion.roberts11‘s post of himself busting out the Mufasa walk in the middle of a clothing store got him over 400,000 likes and comments from viewers who thought that when it comes to the “Circle of Life,” he was more of a student than a teacher, calling him Simba, Mufasa’s son, instead.

“Simba please…..” wrote someone.

Jesse Saah was feeling big Mufasa energy after getting a fresh cut at the barbershop. His post, tagged, “That’s that fresh haircut feeling,” got nearly 17,000 likes from people who loved his moves.

“Ooh I fear you ate😂🔥” wrote a commenter.

But some videos were more silly than sexy, like @theokhifos who tagged his post, “Showing my wife that she has Aaron Pierre at home.”

Although he gave it his best, and managed to get over 760,000 likes, most of the commenters weren’t convinced that he had enough swag to sub in for Pierre.

“That’s Temufassa 😭” wrote someone in the comments.

There’s also @delerockson who had to get in on the trend, posting a hilarious video of his own, since he says his “wifey keeps watching the sound on repeat.”

While his clip got over 1,000 likes. most commenters knew why his wife kept the clip going.

“She in the back looking like no the hell it’s not 🤣🤣,” wrote a commenter.
