Common Shows Off Dope Breakdancing Skills

Oscar Winner Common dropped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote his new film, Barbershop: The Next Cut, but Fallon convinced him to cut a rug. “We had Gabrielle Union here, and she said the highlight of her wedding was you break dancing,” Fallon said to Common. Common replied, “That was fun, but I ended up splitting my pants.” Fallon was eager to see Common bust his coveted moves, and he insisted that Common should dance for everyone. It didn’t take long to convince Common because he was up and ready to dance once he heard Fallon’s band play the Sugarhill Gang’s “Apache (Jump On It).”

Common danced up a storm and rocked some dope top-rocking moves. He wowed everyone with a five-rotation backspin with nothing but ease. And Fallon thought his dance moves looked so common that he could do it too.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.
