Titled "The Muse," Martin faces the camera and recounts all the different actors who have inspired him during his career.
Then he elaborates on how he needs something new: "And I feel now that I need a change. I need to find something that I can take further," he explains as the camera pans to Oscar the dog. "And to another level. What that is, I'm not quite sure. But I've heard some extraordinary things about you...and I think we may be able to work something out."
Martin then asks the dog to perform different emotions on cue. After Oscar performs everything to a T, Martin smiles and offers him the role.
TikTokers celebrated the video, thanking Francesca for giving the internet what everyone needed.
"Francesca is a national treasure for bringing Marty on TikTok," one user said.
"Martin Scorsese and Francesca have figured out what the TikTok peeps want...and it is exactly this," a second added.
"Honestly thank you for giving us this gift. A man who I’ve grown up with, studied, & enjoyed. And now I just get him in my feed. Human. Love," a third replied.
The video also received over 6.3 million views on X, formerly known as Twitter. Users loved the skit, with some joking that they pretended they were Oscar the dog.
"Ngl i was putting myself in oscar’s place the whole time…" @nerdleen wrote.
"I'm going to pretend I'm the dog and save this and play it whenever I want to hear it," a second agreed.
