Sports star shares his unique tip for pulling his daughter's tooth

Famous parents have been sharing their tips of late, covering everything from fitness to style, but former Olympic decathlon champion Bryan Clay had something very unusual to add to the pot this week.

 

The US star, who won gold at the 2008 Games, took to his social media channels to share his unique trick for getting his daughter Ellie’s loose tooth to come out.

 

In the video, Clay is seen standing in front of the camera holding a javelin with a string attached to the end of it. The camera goes on to follow the length of string until it reaches the other end – tied to a wiggly tooth in Ellie’s mouth!

 

You can probably guess what happens next, but check it out below. We’re not sure we would be so brave as Ellie, or as bold as Bryan.

 

While you may be anticipating tears from little Ellie, the only exclamation that follows is one of total surprise!
