It is hard to deny that Will Smith is good at socials. The American superstar who fought aliens in the late 90s has lately hooked fans with his Instagram posts. From crafting the perfect photo dump to killing it on Instagram reels, he has proved that he is as amazing in real life as he is on the big screen. The Oscar winner likes to keep in touch with his followers, regularly sharing sneak peeks into his life. Now the actor has returned with a special message for baseball kids, but his fans have something else in mind.

Will Smith recently turned to his Instagram to share a video on his feed. The clip revealed an almost hazardous incident from his childhood that made him alert the new generation. “These little kids playing baseball, and he says “Hey, Will!” “Come play baseball with us,” recalled the Men in Black star. The youthful version of Smith first tried to deny him with some excuse, but when the kid called him out, he decided to join them.

The ‘Summertime’ rapper described the view which led to the accident, “There was a little fence right there, so I grab it, and I go to hop over and my left hand slips off”. Unfortunately, there was broken glass on the ground and the actor hit his face on it, cutting his jaw. The Bad Boys star then recalled the advice Denzel Washington gave him, who had the same experience previously. So he called a plastic surgeon on the way to the hospital and got “six needles in my eyes”.

According to Smith, it was the most excruciating pain that he had ever experienced in his life. Thus, he wanted kids to stay away from “no punk kids” as he wrote in the caption. While the actor shared this life-saving lesson with kids, his followers noted something else in the video and reacted to it in the comments.

When Will Smith ended his childhood story, the video revealed that he was sharing his experience with crew members and seemingly was on a set. The camera moved to one of them when he said, “Let’s do this take” while the actor exclaimed and cheered them all. Seeing this, fans wasted no time in making assumptions about what this tease meant. One fan asked, “I wanna know what’s being shot here. Cause he confirmed I Am Legend 2, but is dressed like Mike Lowry.” The second user wondered “Are they shooting bad boys 4???”.
