Will Smith performs fun dance in the gym after vowing to lose pandemic weight

Will Smith is on a health kick after finding himself heavier than usual following the pandemic.

And on Monday as he hit the gym, the Hollywood actor, 52, revealed that his time working up a sweat is filled with fun moments - which he captured on camera and posted to his Instagram page.

I Am Legend star Will can be seen performing a country 'hoedown' style routine in the video as he crosses his legs over while bouncing about and clapping to a country and western tune.

Appearing in his element as he performs to the camera, Will beams from ear to ear in the video that sees him surrounded by fitness machines.

Will opted for a white T-shirt decorated with a motif reading the name of designer brand Moncler teamed with baggy shorts and white trainers.

"My hoedown cool down," the star typed alongside the offering.

Fans rushed to the comments to praise Will - with several pointing out that he already looks trimmer.

One typed: "who needs square dancing when you can do whatever this is."

A second added: "Day 1 and you already look like 20 pounds lighter. WTF bro?"

Last week, Will was applauded online after he confessed he's in the "worst shape" of his life as he posted a shirtless snap to Instagram.

Wearing just dark slippers, black boxers and an unzipped hooded jacket the actor raised a hand in the air as he stood amongst fallen leaves.

Sharing the picture with his followers, Will wrote: "I'm gonna be real wit yall - I'm in the worst shape of my life."
