Ed O’Neill And Daughter Go Viral With Unexpected NSFW Lip Sync

Veteran actor Ed O’Neill, known for his iconic roles in “Married With Children” and “Modern Family,” is making waves on TikTok after a surprise appearance in a humorous video with his daughter Claire.

The 78-year-old star joined her for a lip sync to Tupac’s 1996 track “Hit Em Up,” and the internet can’t get enough.

In the brief but viral clip, Ed O’Neill stood stoically behind Claire, sporting an apricot-toned outfit, a gray newsboy cap, and black-rimmed eyeglasses.

O’Neill’s daughter struggled to contain her laughter as they mouthed along to the song’s explicit intro, delivering an unexpectedly hilarious moment. The post’s caption revealed the mastermind behind the performance: “This was his idea.”

Claire, who has 123,000 followers on the app, has a low-key online presence but occasionally shares playful content like voiceover skits.

Her comedic timing, paired with her dad’s deadpan delivery, struck a chord with viewers, including one of O’Neill’s former co-stars.

“Modern Family” castmate Sarah Hyland jumped into the comments section with enthusiasm, writing, “I am screaminggggg,” followed by several crying-laughing emojis. The comment has since racked up over 600,000 likes.

The video has not only earned viral status but also offered a rare glimpse into O’Neill’s family life.

While the ages of his daughters are not widely known, he shares Claire and another daughter, Sophia, with his longtime wife, Catherine Rusoff. The family typically keeps a low profile, and Claire, in particular, maintains a minimal presence on social media outside of her TikTok account.

Claire previously stepped into the spotlight alongside her famous father last summer, attending the red carpet premiere of his FX series “Clipped.” For the occasion, she wore a chic black off-the-shoulder dress and carried a matching clutch, standing confidently next to the beloved TV patriarch.

While O’Neill rarely shares personal anecdotes about his family, he did open up in 2020 during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” recounting a memorable Father’s Day dinner involving his older daughter Sophia and actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

“I said, ‘I want to go to Rao’s for Father’s Day,’” O’Neill recalled, per Daily Mail. “And so my older daughter [Sophia], when she found out, freaked out: ‘It’s too far to go, can’t it be in Santa Monica where we live?’ and that sort of thing. And I said, ‘No, I like Rao’s.’”

Things took a turn when DiCaprio entered the restaurant.

“We had just ordered and she was on her phone. And then I saw her look up and all of a sudden it was like she was stricken. I mean, I really thought something was wrong with her. I said, ‘What’s the matter?’ and she said (whispering), ‘Shut up!’”

Ed O’Neill may have started out with dreams of making it big in professional football, but fate had different plans, and those plans would turn him into a television icon.

Best known for his roles as the crass-yet-lovable Al Bundy on “Married… with Children” and the sophisticated patriarch Jay Pritchett on “Modern Family,” O’Neill has built a decades-long career that bridges two generations of comedy fans.

Before his big break, O’Neill had a brief stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but after being cut from the team in training camp, he turned to acting, a pivot that would define his legacy.

His blue-collar charm and sharp comedic timing made him the perfect fit for Al Bundy, a disgruntled shoe salesman who became one of the most recognizable characters in television history. “Married… with Children” ran for 11 seasons and cemented O’Neill as a household name.

Years later, O’Neill reinvented himself with a more modern, nuanced role in “Modern Family.”

As Jay Pritchett, the no-nonsense patriarch of a sprawling and diverse family, O’Neill brought heart and humor to the award-winning series. The show ran for 11 seasons and won multiple Emmy Awards, proving that O’Neill’s talent had timeless appeal.

Despite the vastly different personalities of Al and Jay, O’Neill brought authenticity to both roles, earning critical acclaim, industry respect, and a place in sitcom history.
