Aaron Pierre’s Viral Spirit Tunnel Dance Has People Chanting 'That’s Mufasa!' Everywhere

After going viral on the internet thanks to his Spirit Tunnel dance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Aaron Pierre has been basking in newfound fame. It has now reached the point where people on the street are singing the famous chant to him!

While attending Pharrell Williams’ Fall 2025 Louis Vuitton menswear show at Paris Fashion Week, a lucky fan spotted him and started singing, “Aaron Pierre, that’s Mufasa!” as he passed by. This chant put a huge grin on Pierre’s face, and, as humble and polite as he is, he wished the fan a good evening.

Pierre’s Spirit Tunnel video became a viral hit on TikTok, gathering millions of views, and things have gotten a bit out of hand since it was published. The comment section flooded with praise for the actor and his dance moves, but some comments became so inappropriate that both the TikTok and Instagram comment sections had to be disabled. His Spirit Tunnel video was such a hit that people on TikTok started recreating it, sparking a new TikTok trend.

Pierre’s reaction to people singing the chant to him shows just how grateful he is for the attention he’s receiving, as well as the love he has for his fans.
