“We talk about it first, and then it becomes a production,” she says. “And then we’re, like, ‘Okay, no, we’ll redo that. Okay, hold on. You sit here. No, we got the light here. Should we face this way?’ It becomes like a whole thing.”

Most recently theKillers of the Flower Moondirector, 81, narrated one ofFrancesca’s GRWM (get ready with me) TikTokson Nov. 10, where he joked about her “clown face” as she did her makeup.

Francesca tells PEOPLE she has considered him narrating a GRWM TikTok “for a long time” but “never got to doing it” until recently.

“I saw people having their friends do it, their parents, their boyfriends, and I was, like, ‘You know what, he probably has no idea what I do to get ready. I have to see what he says. Or just what happens,’ " she explains. “And so, I did it. And I think it turned out okay.”

Martin first appeared in Francesca’s TikTok videos in 2021 andshe told PEOPLE back in Februarythat she decided to recruit him for her videos “because we were sitting in our living room after dinner and I was bored and we weren’t really doing anything.”

“I realized those videos got a lot of likes and I was like, that’s kind of crazy,” she continued. “But also people really enjoyed seeing them. People love seeing him doing these things and the more normal side of him. People see this big, big star and incredibly talented person, which he is, but also [they see] the dad.”

Since then, the acclaimed director has starred in many other TikToks with his daughter, includinga sweet TikTokwhere she did his makeup in September. Francesca adds that while they’ve done many videos together, “He [still] doesn’t comprehend it to a certain extent.”

While he is open to most of her ideas, Martin added that there were a few TikTok ideas he pushed back on. “I can’t think of them right now, but [I’ll say,] ‘I think it’s going too far, honey,’ " he said. “But you know, she’s a good actor and she’s got a great sense of humor. And there’s a good rapport and I play off that.”
