Elle Fanning
Another celeb who joined TikTok under the radar is actor Elle Fanning, with the username @user6754189318472.
From her profile, it's clear she loves an interactive filter and duetting influencers, creating parody versions of the original video.

Jimmy asked Elle the TikTok account @/user6754189318472 is really her.
“I confirm that is me,” she said. “I think in the first lockdown, right when everything started, TikTok so exploded. And I was with my friend and he was like, ‘You should make one. Let’s see what happens. Just do it. Don’t put a profile picture. Don’t change the name. Let’s see.
"I posted and it got a lot of followers. TikTok then DM’ed me on my Instagram and was like, ‘You surpassed this certain number.’ Like, I was just doing it as a joke! I post when I want, but it’s silly. It’s like a little secret, not-so-secret now.”
Stanley Tucci
If you haven't been on TucciTok, then where the heck have you been?
It's an undeniable fact that Stanley Tucci is an international treasure, and his TikTok presence, with 1.4m followers only solidifies this status.
Acting isn't the only area Tucci excels in as the 62-year-old has various cooking videos ranging from risotto, a simple B.L.T., to pasta as breakfast leftovers, as well as taking us along on his adventures in Italy and trip to the UK, (the former for his CNN cooking show Searching for Italy and the latter for his book Taste).
