Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott had a lot to celebrate last week.
Not only were they finally getting a chance to reunite with McDermott’s oldest son, Jack, after spending months apart in quarantine, but they were also excited to mark Pride Month with the LGBTQ+ member of the family.
And they did it in a way to surprise Jack and to thrill Spelling’s fans at the same time.
See the star of the family’s Pride pool party: Donna Martin!
Well, sort of.
In a clip the family filmed for TBS’s YouTube series “Celebrity Show-Off,” Spelling helped transform her husband into her beloved “Beverly Hills, 90210” character.
“Jack’s dream is to see his dad in drag, so we are making this happen today,” the 47-year-old actress said.
In order to make that dream a reality for the 21-year-old, Spelling decided to re-create a fashion moment from her own past, using little more than that a couple of fake sunflowers she clipped off of a wreath, a little black dress and a whole lot of hot glue.
When Jack arrived, he was greeted by his younger siblings, a candy-filled buffet, a rainbow assortment of bubbly, a DJ, a couple of dancers … and his dad, like he’d never seen him before.
“I have arranged to have a dream come true for you today,” Spelling said. “Introducing, all the way from ‘Beverly Hills, 90210,’ it is Deana Martin!”
When McDermott stepped out, everyone chanted a spin on a fan-favorite “90210” line: “Deana Martin graduates!”
“I have graduated, b—-es!” the 53-year-old shouted before hugging his son and wishing him a “happy Pride.”
As for Jack, he smiled, blushed and cringed, all at once.
