BRIEF: Common shows off his break-dance moves on 'The Tonight Show'

April 12--Add break dancing to the list of Common's skills.

The South Side rapper-turned-actor showed off his moves during Monday's episode of "The Tonight Show." Host Jimmy Fallon told Common that actress Gabrielle Union said the highlight of her 2014 wedding to Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade was him break dancing.

"That was fun but I ended up splitting my pants. It wasn't the highlight for me," Common said.

"I just thought, these pants look kind of stretchy," Fallon told Common to convince him to take the stage.

Common's Chicago-set movie, "Barbershop: The Next Cut," is set to hit theaters Friday.

"The Tonight Show" airs 10:35 p.m. weeknights on NBC.
