If there is a celebrity who doesn’t mind hopping on a corny TikTok trend, it’s got to be Jason Derulo.
Whether he is completing cheesy dances with his young son or sharing comedic skits with his pals, the singer is all over the latest social media crazes like a rash.
But he probably wishes he didn’t bother taking part in this bizarre food trend, as it cost him his two front teeth.
The star – who celebrates his 35th birthday on Saturday (21 September) – should really be known as Jason Drill-ulo from here on out, as mucking around with the power tool left him needing a trip to the dentist.
Take a look at this – and please, don’t try this at home:
LAD: Jason Derulo Loses Teeth Eating Corn With A Drill

As you can see, the ‘Talk Dirty’ singer wasn’t whispering any filth into anyones ears for a while after shooting this ridiculously stupid clip.
Back in May 2020, Derulo shared the video to TikTok showing him spearing a piece of corn on the end of his drill before holding it in front of his gob.
“I’ve always wanted to try it,” he said to the camera. “Life hack!”
However, it was more of a display of self-sabotage than a video filled with handy tips and tricks of how to scoff down a corn on the cob super quickly, though.
Derulo held the piece of corn in front of his mouth and powered up the drill – which performed just as you’d expect.

As the vegetable rotated in front of him, he then opened his jaws wide to try and get a bite of the good stuff.
The Florida-born hitmaker seemed to get off to a decent start and shaved off a lot of individual chunks of corn while looking very pleased with himself in the process.
But it all went Pete Tong about ten seconds into the stunt, when Derulo let out a cry of pain.
He promptly paused the drill and moved it away from his mouth, before opening wide to reveal that his attempt had left him with two badly chipped gnashers.
The dad-of-one looked pretty shocked about the whole thing, although I’m sure he has plenty of Hollywood dentists on speed dial who could fix his messed up mouth in a jiffy.
As well as prompting huge concern from his army of fans, the video went viral online.

But a lot of people were skeptical about the authenticity of the clip, as they just couldn’t believe Derulo would be that daft.
And it turns out they were right to be wary – as the singer was pulling a prank on social media users.
Really got us there, didn’t he?
To be fair, a tale about Derulo ruining his teeth is quite plausible, as this wasn’t the first time he wounded his mouth.
The star was doing a handstand at the side of his pool when he suddenly fell in, and somehow ‘broke’ one of his pearly whites in the process.
But thankfully, he revealed it was only a fake tooth.
If he carries on with these dental-related tricks, he’s going to need a full set of those.
