Valerie Bertinelli shows off a different side in an action-packed new music video from her son’s band.
In Mammoth WVH’s horror-themed video for “The End,” Wolfgang Van Halen, 34, performs for a club filled with zombies and vampires — and his mom steps in to fight the menacing creatures.
The celebrity chef, 65, opened up about how much she enjoyed the experience in an Instagram post on Saturday, May 3.
“A ridiculous amount of fun was had for two days,” she wrote, going on to compliment Robert Rodriguez, who directed the video.
“His passion and joy for his craft is truly contagious,” Bertinelli continued. “And thank you, Robert for the lesson on how to throw a punch on camera. 👊🏼 I can’t believe after all these years I’ve never done that. So much f—ing fun!”
The From Dusk Till Dawn director had plenty of praise for Bertinelli too.
“I’ve worked with some major action stars in my career, but no one has ever been as SAVAGE and RELENTLESS as MAMA WOLF Valerie Bertinelli in THE END!” he captioned a clip of the One Day at a Time star. “Bone Crunching Goodness!”
“I’ve never thrown a punch on camera before 😳,” Bertinelli commented on Rodriguez’s post, before calling him a “genius” and a “super nice guy.”
Wolfgang, whose father is late Van Halen frontman Eddie Van Halen, shows off his guitar shredding skills in the video, which also features appearances from Slash, Danny Trejo, and Wolgfang’s wife Andraia Van Halen.

Bertinelli was married to Eddie from 1981 until 2007. He died from cancer in October 2020.
To mark Wolfgang’s 34th birthday in March, Bertinelli shared a funny clip in which she joined him at band practice but was only trusted to press one note on a keyboard.
“1, 2, 3 and…” he shouted, before his mom held down on the one note.
“I love you,” the cookbook author giggled, as her son said, “Love you, mom.”
Bertinelli captioned the post, “To the 🌙 and back, Wolfie 🤍 Happy Birthday 🥰 p.s. I will not be taking comments on how I had *one* job… to hit *one* key… and well… I won’t be joining the band anytime soon 😝.”
