In the TikTok video, Hough approached Goodman outside of his trailer and said, “Hey Len, wanna do a TikTok with me?,” to which Goodman replied, “I’ve done it once, what do you want out of life?”
“C’mon man, they’re begging for it. They want you to do it, come on,” urged Hough, to which Goodman replied, “Well, I’ll tell you what. There is one number I really like.”
Cut to — Goodman showing off his best struttin’ moves, including smacking his own butt.
In the caption on the TikTok video, Hough wrote that he was “genuinely surprised” that Goodman joined in for this “Struttin'” video.
