Gabrielle Union and Zaya Wade are the coolest mother-daughter duo around.
On Tuesday, Union took to TikTok to share a hilarious video of herself and her step-daughter Zaya recreating an iconic scene from the beloved romantic comedy, 10 Things I Hate About You. A young Union starred in the 1999 teenage flick as Chastity Church alongside leads Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger.
The TikTok begins with Union saying, "Tell us you've watched 10 Things I Hate About You without telling us you've watched 10 Things I Hate About You."
Wade adds, "We'll start."

The video then transitions into a clip of the two walking beside each other, with Wade rocking a purple sweater and green suit-short moment while Union wears a matching corset and midi skirt from Miaou.
Then Wade, taking on her stepmom's role as Chastity, recites an iconic line from the film. "I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed," she says, "but can you ever just be whelmed?"
Union responds from the role of Chastity's best friend, Bianca Stratford (originally played by Larisa Oleynik in the movie), saying, "I think you can in Europe."
Wade nods and affirms, "Right." The duo then walk off camera together.
Wade, whose parents are former professional basketball player Dwyane Wade and Siohvaughn Funches, is known to have a close relationship with her stepmom, Gabrielle Union.
Last May, for her 13th birthday, Union wrote a sweet message dedicated to Wade on Instagram. "You are such an inspiration and motivation to get my butt up everyday and fight," she wrote. "When I'm weary, frustrated, full of rage, I see your face and your joy and you living your best life and I want that for all of us. I love you sooooo much kid!! Enjoy this day and everyday knowing you are loved, protected, respected, admired and celebrated."
