"Soul Food" actress Nia Long got her Instagram timeline buzzing as fans could not help fawning after she gave them a glimpse of her young adult son and fellow star, Massai.

The clip seemed to have been taken in Long's sitting where Massai reckoned on a striped light green and white sofa. The youngster looked radiant in a black T-shirt with purple designs as he enjoyed his sleep.

While his mom's caption indicated that she was having a lot of fun videoing him, many fans were enthralled by his attractive features as they gushed in the comments.

In 2014, fans got to see Long and her son show off their onscreen chemistry in Tyler Perry's "The Single Mom's Club." While many watched the mom-son duo show expertise, they had some backstage warm-ups to get them prepared.

The "Soul Food" star mentioned that most gigs stop coming once moviemakers realize that the actress was pregnant.

Speaking to Mom.Com, Long and her then preteen son opened up on how it felt playing their real-life roles with a twist. Long shared that Massai earned his role in the movie.

Massai worked with his mom's acting coach, Betty Bridges, to hone his skills. His grandma videoed him showing his acting talent and then sent the clip to the production team that approved it. Massai said about his experience:

"I was nervous a little bit. At the beginning, I was nervous because I've never done it before. I started getting used to it. It was really helpful the fact that my mom was in the room with me."
