Why You Should Follow Will Smith On Instagram Right Now

Will Smith has finally joined Instagram and it's awesome.

Will Smith has maintained a mythical profile on social media for most of his career. Many accounts attributed to him have been started by overzealous fans or Russian bots, but on December 14 the mega movie star made his first post on Instagram. 

  • While the duck-face selfie was a less than auspicious start, Will's posts following that have made him a must-follow on Instagram, earning 3.5 million followers in just two weeks. Check out five of our favorites so far, including the best celebrity Christmas video of 2017.

  • His advice to Justin Timberlake on what to avoid during his upcoming Super Bowl performance became a little P G-13 toward the end.

  • Decking the halls with dingleberries has to be the best ugly Christmas sweater ever. Don't be too mad at Jada, Will!

  • In this classy birthday shout-out to Jamie Foxx, Will recalls their time shooting Ali in 102-degree heat and how the Oscar winner helped keep him in the fight. 

  • This Christmas montage of the Smiths going for a sleigh ride is A+ level Instagram editing for wit and impact. Maybe Will should try his hand at directing again.
