Lil Rel Howery tells Jalen Rose how he got Glenn Close to do ‘Da Butt’ dance

This week’s “Renaissance Man” guest Lil Rel Howery is fresh off his latest coup of doing “Da Butt” with Glenn Close, in a viral moment at the Academy Awards. Howery called on the iconic “Fatal Attraction” actress during a music trivia game bit with the audience, with every intention of getting her to shake her rump. He said he was “happy” she was game.

“She knew I was going to call on her … She knew that part and everything. [People were like] is everything scripted? No,” he told me. “Glenn, you know, Daniel [Kaluuya] and them gave her some information. It was like a team effort with everything. I was like, ‘Yo, imma try to get her to dance.'” He said, if she didn’t bite, he was going to ask everyone to do “da butt” with him. But he didn’t need Plan B.
