Will Smith vows to ditch 'dad bod' as he sets sights on YouTube fitness series

Will Smith has posed in yet another topless photograph after admitting that he’s in the ‘worst shape of his life’.

Earlier this week, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air star, 52, reaped praise from thousands of fans after he proudly embraced his ‘dad bod’.

While Will was applauded by adoring fans who fawned over his honest post, the actor has suggested that he’s on a mission to change his appearance after gaining some weight in lockdown.

The Men In Black star shared a glimpse at his physique on Instagram on Tuesday when he posted a Boomerang video of himself posing in nothing but a pair of black boxers.

Alongside the video, Will told fans that he’s set to kickstart an epic fitness journey.

He also confirmed that all the highs and lows of his gruelling fitness routine and drastic lifestyle change will all be documented for an upcoming YouTube project.

Just a couple of days after he made headlines for his inspiring weight-related post, Will admitted that he’s determined to reach his goal weight in order to be the best version of himself.

“This is the body that carried me through an entire pandemic and countless days grazing thru the pantry,” he penned.

“I love this body, but I wanna FEEL better. No more midnight muffins…this is it.

“Imma get in the BEST SHAPE OF MY LIFE!!!!! Teaming up with @YouTube to get my health & wellness back on track. Hope it works.”

After laying eyes on his new physique, fans flocked to gush over Will.
