Transparency!: Will Smith Gives A 3-Week Fitness Update After Vowing To Get In The ‘Best Shape’ Of His Life

The #BigWillieChallenge is official.

Will Smith’s transparency on social media is inspiring a 12-week fitness campaign! For those who may have missed it, the multi-hyphenated star recently showed off his post-pandemic body on Instagram, along with the caption: “I’m gonna be real wit yall - I’m in the worst shape of my life.”

The Bad Boys actor later followed up his big reveal with yet another shirtless photo, along with a vow to get back into shape. 

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

Unexpectedly igniting a movement, other men—including celebrities—have decided to go shirtless to reveal their bodies built while sheltering-in-place. Deeming it the #BigWillieChallenge, Smith reposted a series of photos shared by fans, stating: “Hahahahaha - Let’s go get it! After pics due in 12 weeks!”

We love it! Below, see the celebrity men who are motivated to get in the best shape of their lives!
