‘Twilight’ star didn’t get the girl, but at least he’s the king of TikTok’s funniest celebrity trend to date

The “Flip Camera Trend” on TikTok has quickly become a viral sensation, and for good reason—it’s funny, creative, and has the perfect balance of harmless humor and celebrity participation. The trend involves recording a video and then flipping the camera to selfie mode, revealing an unexpected twist, whether it’s a cat, a dog, or even the Boogeyman. It’s simple but clever, making it an ideal platform for celebrities to jump in on the fun without overdoing it.

Stars like Adele have joined the trend with their own unique spins. Adele even shared a fan-edited video of herself, with the caption: “Y’all need to let Adele take a break. She don’t wanna make music,” which flipped to show an old livestream of her. The post was clearly self-aware, with Adele acknowledging the humor in it.

Joe Jonas joined in with a funny twist, captioning his video, “Guys, we need to start recognizing that our younger siblings are basically always right,” and flipping the camera to reveal himself instead of his older brother, Kevin. Ed Sheeran added his own flavor with an Irish twist: “TikTok listen up let’s go easy on Ed Sheeran he’s an alright bloke.”

However, the best entry might have been from Taylor Lautner, who leaned into his role as Jacob Black from Twilight. His caption, “Honestly, screw Edward. Bella should have ended up with Jacob,” got fans riled up, and the camera flip revealed Lautner himself. Fans flooded the comments, many admitting they didn’t realize it was him until after they’d liked the video. The playful back-and-forth between Team Edward and Team Jacob was reignited, with Lautner joining in, responding to comments like “Wowwwwww” when someone said they couldn’t be a “Jacob girlie.”

Kristen Stewart, who played Bella, even shared Lautner’s video on her Instagram with a cheeky reply: “Hey, be nice. She loves you!” referencing how Jacob was always friendzoned in the series. It’s clear that the Twilight trio is still having fun with their past, and we can only imagine the group chat banter between them.

As for Robert Pattinson, who played Edward, he’s remained silent on the trend, likely because he doesn’t have public social media accounts. But if there’s a shared group chat, we can only guess how entertaining it must be right now. The Flip Camera Trend has really given celebrities a fun and engaging way to interact with fans and show off their playful sides.
