Deacon Philip shows off his New York City apartment — and it’s surreal.
Deacon, 20, the son of Reese Witherspoon And Ryan Filipwas stopped on the street by TikToker Caleb Simpson and asked for a tour of his pad. (Simpson has made a name for himself on social media by interviewing people about their homes, including stars like Christie Brinkley.)
“Location: Westdorp. Occupation: Student 👨🎓,” the caption of the video posted via Instagram on Tuesday, November 14, read, tag Deacon.
The video started with Simpson asking how much Deacon’s crib costs, to which he played coy by replying, “West Village prices, man.” The New York University student then said he had time to show off his new place “in between classes.”
As Simpson entered the apartment, he turned the camera to show a spacious two-story layout, with a spiral staircase in the center. “Don’t hit your head,” Deacon warned, noting that the stairs are “a little sketchy.”
After Deacon introduced Simpson to his two roommates, the TikToker investigated how much food the trio had in their apartment. “Not bad, actually,” he declared, offering a glimpse of the refrigerator, which was noticeably sparse.
Deacon then led Simpson to their “vinyl wall,” where several albums hung on exposed bricks. Also in the room was Deacon’s plant, which he affectionately called Darryl.
For the next part of the tour, Simpson stopped by Deacon’s bedroom, equipped with a keyboard next to his desk. “Studio setup,” the actor and musician explained. “I sing and play a little keyboard, but I mainly make music on my computer.”
After Deacon played a short sample for Simpson, the video ended with a snapshot of the bathroom. In true New York City fashion, the space was tight with a door that barely squeaked past the side of the sink.
Deacon dropped his debut LP, titled A new earth, in April. The album release party was attended by his parents and sister Ava Filip.
“Great evening with family and friends celebrating the release of ‘A New Earth’ by @deaconphillippe!!” Ryan, 49, captioned his Instagram post at the time.
Witherspoon, 47, and Ryan were married from 1999 to 2006 and welcomed Ava and Ryan in 1999 and 2003 respectively. After their split, Witherspoon married his ex-husband Jim Toth, whom she divorced in March. The couple share son Tennessee, 11. Ryan, meanwhile, shares daughter Kai with ex Alexis Handsome.
Deacon made his acting debut in Netflix season three Never have I evermade by one of Witherspoon’s friends, Mindy Kaling. After his collaboration, Kaling, 44, was excited about working with Deacon.
“We were breaking season and there was a role that seemed like it would be perfect for Deacon,” she explained in August 2022. “He is obviously so talented and looks great, and we just thought he would be great and so he was. excited to come and do it.”
