Starting his career as a ‘clean rapper’, Will Smith quickly transitioned from music to Hollywood and rose to fame while becoming one of its most bankable stars. Commanding a fortune of over $350 million, the King Richard actor has delivered movies such as those from the Men In Black franchise that have found a massive fanbase centered around them. Thus, when he stepped out for outdoor shoots of Bad Boys 4, many of his admirers came calling.

Willingly, the actor obliged their demands but realized he had to think outside the box. In return, all he had was just a fair bit of a warning.

The 55-year-old actor, a while back, took to embracing his vlogging side as he filled up his social media posts with quirky and creative clips. In a latest such post on Instagram, Will Smith documented a shoot for Bad Boys 4 during which fans queued with paper and merchandise asking for autographs. While the staff brought over placards and the like from across the street to get them signed, the actor remarked that fans probably also want to see him and Martin Lawrence sign.

Going the extra mile, he closed in and posed in such a manner that fans could breathe to their hearts' content that it was actually the actors who signed their pieces. After signing items like laser discs and figurines, his team passed them back to the fans while recording the video, over which Smith pasted the message “Happy Customers”. Finally, the clip closed with them heading for a shot while warning that “I better not see these on eBay”.

The clip also released close on the heels of the fourth installment of the movie, letting out a big update towards its release.

In 1995, the original Bad Boys movie came out and established Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as Miami PD detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, respectively. Now, close to three decades later, the franchise rolled out the first trailer for its fourth installment titled Bad Boys: Ride or Die. However, netizens stood divided over the reception even as a June 7, 2024 release date popped up on their screens.

Incidentally, several reactions online demonstrated that fans had yet to move past the 2022 Oscars slap involving Will Smith and Chris Rock. Furthermore, with today marking two years to the event, lowly news such as that of an 83% reduction in the actor’s charity came to the fore, highlighting that there remains a long way to go before the event erases itself from mainstream discussions.
