Comedian and actor Dane Cook has given his fans an update on what he got up to with his wife and family on the 4th of July this year.
Cook, 54, hasn’t done an awful lot of on-screen work in 2026. In fact, per IMDb, his only notable credit came in the little-known crime comedy-thriller “Boris Is Dead,” in which he played Derek.
From his home in Los Angeles, California, however, the “Good Luck Chuck” star took to social media to upload a 76-second video regarding his 4th of July activities.
Dane Cook Played Games & Ate Food With His Family This 4th of July
Sharing his 4th of July update with his 764,000 followers on his Instagram account, Dane Cook thanked his fans for the 4th of July salutations he’d already received, and told everyone what he and his nearest and dearest had been doing to celebrate.
Cook explained that he was spending the day with his wife, family, and some friends. They were going to eat hot dogs and cheeseburgers, and had already swam and played cornhole (he had proudly won both games up to that point).
Following the imminent consumption of food, Cook said the group planned on playing cornhole again later that day.
Before the video ended, he also wished his fans and followers a great day and teased some exciting news about his upcoming documentary was on the way.
Cook captioned the post very simply, writing, “🇺🇸❤️🎆🎇.”
It certainly sounds like everyone had a good time at Cook’s house.
During the video, Cook also said he was looking forward to reading the comments on it. His fans and followers didn’t disappoint, as the comments section is teeming with lovely ones.

Finally, one Instagram user wrote, “Always love a DC update. Was at the WeHo DMV yesterday and thought of you lol. Nobody punched me in the face upon entry 😆 Happy 4th!”

The couple met in 2017 at a game’s night at Cook’s house. They tied the knot five years later, in 2022, in an intimate ceremony with just 20 guests, in O’ahu, Hawaii.
Taylor took to Instagram to announce the news at the time. In the post’s caption, she referred to herself and her new husband as “The Cooks.”
GettyAlso per People, Taylor is from Nevada, she graduated from high school when she was just 16, and she shares two dogs — a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Ripley and another dog named Chopper — with her husband.
