'We have a third generation of Coppola directors': TikTok is obsessed with Sofia Coppola's daughter filming how she got grounded

Romy Croquet Mars is certainly making a name for herself online — just not in the way her parents might have wanted.

Despite being the daughter of two famous parents — filmmaker Sofia Coppola and her husband Thomas Mars of the band Phoenix — 16-year-old Romy has more or less flown under the radar when it comes to celebrity kids. But thanks to a mega-viral TikTok she posted, people can’t stop talking about her.

In the since-deleted clip, Romy invites viewers to follow along as she makes homemade vodka sauce for her pasta — not because she’s an avid home chef who loves to cook but because she’s just been grounded by her parents and is now stuck at home and seriously bored.

Unlike other teens her age, who might be grounded for things like sneaking out past curfew, Romy’s punishment is over something that’s, um, pretty extravagant.

“I tried to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on my dad’s credit card because I wanted to have dinner with my camp friend,” Romy confesses with a shrug.

She also admits that she’s digging herself a deeper grave by even going on TikTok in the first place since her parents’ “biggest rule” is that she’s not allowed to have any public social media accounts.

Romy explains that her parents’ reasoning mostly has to do with her being seen as “a nepotism kid,” but she shrugs that off by insisting that TikTok “is not gonna make me famous, so it doesn’t really matter.”

Turns out, she was sorely mistaken on that one.

During the clip, Romy continues to make other small confessions, like not knowing the difference between garlic and onions. (“I’m embarrassed, I’m embarrassed,” she says to the camera.)

The teen also introduces followers to her babysitter’s boyfriend, Ari, and jokingly claims that because her parents are almost never home, Ari and her babysitter are basically her “replacement parents.”

“What do you think of the helicopter ‘fiasca’?” Romy asks Ari at one point in the video.

“Oh, I like ‘fiasca’ because it’s the feminine form of fiasco,” he tells her.

The oddly hilarious video has since been deleted — along with Romy’s entire TikTok account. But that hasn’t stopped people from sharing it on Twitter before it was scrubbed from the internet forever.

One tweet that features the video already has more than 8.1 million views.

So far, the jokes keep coming in the comment threads, where people have called Romy everything from a “star” to a “queen” for her cinematic achievement.

“A perfect short film, we have a third generation of Coppola directors,” one person tweeted.

“it has dramatic tension, excellent scene-setting, good evocative props that indicate emotions (onions = tears) shocking family revelations, slapstick comedy, great dialogue…you’re right,” someone else agreed.

“Given her lineage it’s quite possible that Part II of this film series would be even better than the first,” another person quipped.

So far, neither of Romy’s parents have issued any kind of public statement about the viral TikTok (or the “helicopter fiasca,” for that matter), but we think it’s safe to say that Romy’s probably going to be grounded for a lot longer than she initially anticipated.
