Jay Ellis Shares How His Imaginary Friend Helped Him Cope With Growing Up as an Only Child
Popping into the “happy place” to promote his new film “Freaky Tales” on Monday, Ellis did what most guests do before they appear onstage: take an animated stroll down the hallway (dubbed the Spirit Tunnel). And like those same aforementioned guests who’ve busted out serious dance moves—he was quick to put on a show-stopping performance.

Initially rounding the corner all calm, cool, and collected, Ellis wasted no time getting his groove on, walking down the tunnel with supreme swag and an effortless aura. At one point he even directed the workers’ singing, orchestrating them to take the vocals down low before crescendoing them back up again for an entertaining and explosive ending.

Naturally, once the video was posted to social media, folks online were quick to dub his walk as one of the best—possibly better than the Aaron Pierre’s viral walk back in January.

“No one let me out the house ever again...” Ellis wrote on JHud’s post of his walk.
Added his “Insecure” costar Yvonne Orji: “Oh you thought it was a concert. You said run it back and dip it low! I loooove it! Take yo time Black man and give us all this joy.”

Wroteanother, “Jay Ellis has been paying attention to the spirit tunnel walks. He’s not casually walking it here, he’s making a STATEMENT, lol. His wife had to watch him practice. This man worked it like a stage and even tried to control it like a conductor. He came dressed comfortably for maximum movement. He even brought stallion knees. Jay Ellis is showing this clip to people and daring someone to do it better than him. I just know it.”
“Aaron Pierre DasMufasa will always be the one. But this is a very close second. The interaction, the energy level, the dropping it low, the running it back?! Well done @jayrellis,” said another.
