Will Smith leaves followers in awe in Bad Boys 4 BTS footage

Will Smith was seen bringing the action to the filming of his latest movie, Bad Boys 4.

The 55-year-old was captured on set holding a gun while carrying a large camera wrapped around his shoulders and waist. 

The behind-the-scenes video showed Will, wearing a police vest, walking forward with a serious look on his face and the gun pointed forward.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum seamlessly rotates the attached equipment to face him before moving on with his pursuit of the bad guys. 

Turning the camera again, Will shot his target while a crew member gave his nod of approval, yelling ‘good.’

The video also gave fans a glimpse of the scene from the camera’s perspective, which shows the star in an intense shootout. 

Will continues to trek after the criminals, keeping an intense stare as music blares in the background. 

The X user captioned his video, ‘Will Smith behind the scenes of Bad Boys 4.’

Will also shared another BTS moment to Instagram, writing above a video of a massive car explosion scene, ‘POV: You walk by Bad Boys filming in downtown.’

The Gemini Man actor jokingly captioned the footage, ‘Is your drone okay @mrsteelefpv??’

The on-set footage comes three months after the official trailer for the action-packed Bad Boys 4: Ride Or Die dropped in March. 

The Men in Black star and Martin Lawrence have once again teamed up to fight for justice in Miami, Florida.

The trailer showcases the dynamic duo, who have been the leads in the franchise since its original debut in 1995, racing around the Magic City, in a shootout at a convenience store, and working to clear their caption’s name in a frame job.

Of course, the film also sees the boys encounter their own set-up, which includes a fight in mid-air, jumping from a burning van, and going on the run as fugitives. 

Martin also took to social media to promote the fourth installment, posting a cartoon drawing of himself and Will with guns drawn and a row of chaos behind them. 

At a preview screening of the movie, Martin teased fans about what to expect.

‘They will see a scene where there’s an ass, and I just want to let y’all know that’s not my ass!’

The crowd erupted in laughter as he added, ‘It’s a stun ass.’

And ahead of its June 7 release, Will shared a sweet picture of himself, Martin, and pal Tracy Morgan on Instagram at the New York City screening of Bad Boys: Ride or Die Monday. 

‘Big thanx @tracymorgan for rollin’ thru @badboys last night!!’ the star wrote. ‘It was an honor to make you laugh instead of the other way around.’

During the screening, Will took a moment to reflect on working alongside Martin.

He shared that the two had an emotional exchange during the first day on set, which ‘set the tone’ for their experience throughout filming. 

‘You know, we’re producing and starring and that’s a little extra burden, right? So, you know, on the first day we’re running around and uh, Martin just stopped,’ Will recounted. ‘He said, “Hey, hey, hold on, hold on. I said, “Hey, what’s up?” And he just looked, he said, “I love you brother.” And I was like, “yeah, yeah, yeah. All love brother, all love.” I’m “No, no, no, no, no, no.” He said, “You know, I love you, brother.”‘

He added that Martin’s impactful words came at a time when ‘I, emotionally, I couldn’t have it at that moment.’

‘But I was like, you know, “I love you too, man,” Will continued. ‘And he just hugged me and he said, “We gonna have fun making this movie.” It’s like, we not rushing through this one. You know? And it was like, he just set the tone.’

And it’s safe to say the love is most certainly reciprocated. Back in April, Will took a moment to wish his on-screen partner a very happy birthday.

‘Happy Bday to my Ride or Die @martinlawrence,’ he wrote alongside a series of throwback photos of the two. ‘Me and Marty Mar are ‘bout to get on a plane and run up on y’all for @Badboys, BE READY!!’
