Blue's Simon Webbe strips off to show 'dad bod' after being inspired by Will Smith

Simon Webbe has stripped off to put his ‘dad bod’ on full display after being inspired by Will Smith.

The Blue singer, 45, took to Instagram to embrace his body in an unfiltered snap which saw him let it all hang out in a pair of boxer shorts.

Posing in a cryotherapy chamber, Simon admitted that he wanted to shed light on the pressure enforced on both men and women to look ‘perfect’ on social media.

Simon admitted that he was inspired by Fresh Prince Of Bel Air star Will, who was applauded by fans last week after he admitted that he was in ‘the worst shape of his life’.

Much like Simon, Will posed in a pair of shorts and a zip-up hoodie to show his belly in the inspirational snap.

The Hollywood actor insisted that although his body had changed through the pandemic, he was ‘so proud’ of it for getting him through the unprecedented time.

Echoing Will’s message, Simon captioned his version of the snap: “Will Smith has inspired me to share my dad bod.

“There is so much pressure on men and women to strive for perfection.

“When we have those bad moments, we have to embrace who we are, dig deep within, and make a change.

“My change starts today.”

Simon’s brave snap went down an absolute treat with his celebrity pals and fans alike as they showered him with praise and endless compliments.

Blue singer Antony Costa commented: “Let's go Champ!”

“So much respect for this brother. The dad bod suits you,” another fan echoed.

Meanwhile, another eagle-eyed admirer poked fun at Simon’s socks.

“Can we talk about the fluffy socks though? Loving this, we all have those times; and it's been a bloody hard couple of years,” they penned.

“Props to you for this Simon. You look bloody great by the way,” someone else gushed.
