Instagram went down on Wednesday and Will Smith was just as devastated as the rest of us, apparently.
Pretty much the entire globe was affected by Instagram’s outage, with the social media platform going down, along with Facebook, for near-enough the whole day.
And while it may have been one of the longest days ever known to mankind (yes OK, we’re exaggerating), Will was pretty much all of us when he marked Instagram’s return with a celebratory dance.
The 50-year-old posted a video to his page of him twerking to Blueface’s track Thotiana and wrote: ‘Instagram: Back online. Me.’
Fans obviously went wild for it and applauded Will for pretty much summing up how we all feel now we have been reunited with our one true love.
And some took it as an opportunity to bond over their experience of an Insta-free life, with one fan commenting: ‘The worst part of the IG shutdown is that not everyone was affected some of my friends could use theirs, so I felt like I was personally being punished.’
We feel you.
Fans recently saw Will in the new trailer for Aladdin’s live-action remake and were left impressed by his appearance as Genie.
Will is taking over the character – originally made famous by Robin Williams in the Disney classic – and faced some harsh critics, as people originally weren’t convinced with him being cast for the role.
But, a new trailer has dropped ahead of Aladdin’s release and people are finally coming round to Will’s Genie.
Fans shared their excitement over the movie on Twitter, with one saying: ‘I’ll be honest, after the teaser with Genie, I thought this new trailer would be worse. My opinion of this movie has changed COMPLETELY. Just goes to show, you cannot judge a book by it’s cover. If you watch this new trailer, you may look forward to this. I wanna watch this now.’
Will, meanwhile, has promised the live-action movie is ‘fire’.
He himself has said he has ‘big shoes to fill’ following on from Williams – previously admitting that he first found playing Genie ‘daunting’ in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
Will said: ‘Whenever you’re doing things that are iconic, it’s always terrifying. The question is always: Where was there meat left on the bone? Robin didn’t leave a lot of meat on the bone with the character.’
