2-year-old steals dad's phone at a wedding and the video he films on dance floor breaks the internet

The current generation of toddlers is growing up surrounded by a myriad of tech devices. So it's only normal when a little one tries getting their hands on the glowing smartphones from the adults. However, one 2-year-old boy went viral on the internet after snatching away his dad's phone in the middle of a wedding dance party and filming an epic selfie cam video with it. @corypea, the toddler named McClean's aunt, shared the video on TikTok where it garnered over 32 million views. 

Everybody in the venue was having a blast as the famous EDM track "Turn Down for What" by DJ Snake and Lil Jon started playing over the speakers. All of a sudden, McClean dashed across the dance floor, grabbed the smartphone from his dad and started vibing to the music with the beat drop. The TikTok audience was stunned at the youngster's camera skills and how he did not drop the phone, eventually handing it back to his dad safely. Jim and Jesse Pittman, the parents of the toddler who stole the show with his rhythmic head-banging to the music, spoke to Newsweek and elaborated on a sensational evening. 

"McClean couldn't be stopped," Jim, 44, told Newsweek. Jim was just trying to film his son and had crouched down to his level in the hopes of filming a cute dancing video of McClean. "Everyone was having a blast watching him and he was the first on the dance floor. Within seconds of me starting to record him, he noticed me, ran over, snatched the phone from me, did his thing, and then handed the phone back to me when he was done," Jim recalled.

"He is the funniest little guy, and I'm not just saying that because he's my son. Everywhere he goes, he talks, smiles, and makes people around him smile. He's pretty infectious in that way. The video was hilarious, but I can't say we were surprised—it's who he is," Jim, who is from Jacksonville, Florida, told the outlet. "It was pure gold that could only come from a genuine moment from our little guy. Neither my wife or I had TikTok until just a few days ago, so to see how many people have reacted to it, shared it, and watched has been pretty cool. The world got a taste of the joy he brings to us, and we are happy that it made so many others smile."

The TikTok comment section was thrilled to see the toddler jamming to the electronic music and left a lot of wholesome comments. @jdizzlepizzle commented, "I will never be as cool as my nephew and I am okay with it." @orphickai suggested, "Okay now save this for years and years and years and then play it at his own wedding." @edim_k wrote, "He knew right away what to do when his moment came up to shine and now he is seen all over the world." @coco42447 joked, "Y’all better keep an eye on the little man he already knows how to party."
