Smith has made many children and families laugh over decades through rap music, comedic characters, action movies, and serious heartwarming roles. Beyond his work on screen and behind the camera, Smith still has used social media to create entertaining digital content of his day-to-day dealings.
The project will be produced by Westbrook Studios, which is owned by the actor and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. The studio’s Terence Carter, Miguel Melendez, and Sahara Bushue will also serve as executive producers for the special.
Smith continues to make fans laugh with his Instagram shenanigans. Recently, the Philly native went viral for showing off his body after putting on a few pounds during the COVID-19 quarantine, while documenting his new fitness journey.
“This is the body that carried me through an entire pandemic and countless days grazing thru the pantry,” he wrote in his Instagram caption. In the video, Smith stands posed as the Pussycat Dolls’ 2005 hit “Don’t Ya” plays in the background.
