The "camera flip" trend has gained significant popularity on TikTok. The fun involves displaying advice or a request on the screen that benefits a particular social group, age group, or individual. Suddenly, the phone's camera "accidentally" reveals who is recording. It turns out that the message on the screen is intended to improve the situation of the person holding the phone.
Although it may sound complicated in theory, in practice, it turns out to be very amusing. The trend features, among others, a dog demanding that people feed it for two hours a day, or it will starve, and a cat suggesting that scratching furniture should be allowed since it makes the furniture look more rustic. Many artists, politicians, and celebrities have also joined in the fun.
Taylor Lautner embraces the "camera flip" trend on TikTok
A serious contender for dominating the "camera flip" trend is Taylor Lautner. As an actor who gained fame through his role as Jacob Black in the "Twilight" saga, he played a werewolf who befriends the main character, Bella Swan. Their bond becomes so strong that Jacob falls in love with Bella, but she has stronger feelings for the vampire Edward. Jacob holds out hope until the end that Bella will choose him.
In the clip shared by Taylor, we see a scene from the saga when Bella and Edward get married. The screen displays the message: "Honestly, screw Edward. Bella should have ended up with Jacob." After a moment, the camera "accidentally" reveals who is behind the recording—Taylor himself.
Is the "camera flip" winner decided? Taylor Lautner takes the lead
The recording gained over 60 million views on TikTok in less than 24 hours after posting. Internet users agree that the "Twilight" star nailed the trend: "Everyone, go home, he won this trend," "I screamed 'I agree' before I saw who posted the recording," "I'm glad I didn't notice who made the recording and just watched the video first." These are just some of the comments under Taylor's video. Do you agree with them?
