Alba explained that she andZac Efronhad teamed up to costar in videos for a tourism campaign for Dubai, where she was inspired to make aTikTokdance video during the work trip.
“‘You’re a professional dancer so this will be really easy for you, I’ll just show you the moves,’ " Alba recalled of her remarks to the actor, 34. “And literally, one second, this fool picked it up and did it perfectly.”
The lighthearted clip, which was posted in August 2021, shows the two stars dancing in sync and went viral with over 46 million views.

When she got back from her trip, the Honest Company founder said she tried to “be chill” while sharing the exciting social media moment with her three kids. Alba shares daughters Honor Marie, 13, and Haven Garner, 10, plus son Hayes Alba, 4, with husband Cash Warren.
“They were like, ‘Oh, Mom, why is he in a video? Why do you know him?’ " she recalled. “Like, why are you in the presence of someone that’s cool?”
“I’m like, ‘Don’t you know who I am?!’ " theFantastic Fourstar said with a laugh.
“They don’t know who you are!” DeGeneres, 64, joked.

According to the actress, though she’s tried to explain the significance of her role in the 2003 movieHoney(in which she starred as a dance teacher with dreams of making it big as a choreographer), her experience hasn’t clicked with her kids just yet.
“Every time they tell me I’m a terrible dancer and make fun of me, I’m like, ‘Do you know I created this move? The basketball move?’ " she explained, mimicking the motion. “That’s my move, fromHoney.”
“They think I’m a nerd,” she joked.
“And then my daughter, the older one, she’s like, ‘Mom, it’s just so embarrassing whenever you try to prove to us that you’re cool,’ " Alba added. “Yeah, I guess I’m that person.”
Later in the conversation, the host joked that “it’s one of the reasons I don’t have children, there’s no respect.”
