Terrence Howard shared a series of vacation videos on Instagram on Tuesday, August 4, and his hilarious attempts to wrangle a centipede have the internet in stitches. Not only that, witty fan reactions ensued.
Howard shared footage from his vacation with his ex-wife and current partner, Mira Pak, on Instagram. As a panicked Pak recorded between shrieks and laughter, Howard chased a centipede around the hotel room trying to capture it in a glass jar.
The first video is captioned, “Part 1 trying to catch and release a centipede#makewayforlife.”
“I can handle it as long as he don’t move,” said the actor.
He then attempted to capture the critter inside a mason jar, to no avail.In a second video, as he tried to get the centipede in a jar, it started wiggling ferociously.
“Gimme a spatula,” Howard shouted. “Gimme a spatula and stop standing around! Oh…. he’s doin’ the jiggle wiggle.”
“Honey, I’m sorry, Here! Here,” said Pak as she handed him a spatula.
The next video shows Howard chasing the centipede with the glass jar and spatula, but the centipede was too fast for the actor.
“Get it into the jar!…. Honey, pleaaaase,” begged Pak.
In the fourth video, Howard finally captured the centipede in a jar with a pair of salad tongs, much to Park’s delight.
“Put the lid on it,” shouted Park. “Put the lid!”
The fourth video Howard shared also features Pak begging him not to release the critter outside for fear it would crawl back in.
“Please don’t! It’ll come back into the house,” she exclaimed.
Howard demanded that Pak “open the d*mn door” in a fifth video, to which she complied.
He captioned the fourth video, “Part 4 we checked out early the next day.”
