Will Smith, 52, says he’s in the ‘worst shape of his life’ as he shares shirtless snap after lockdown

WILL Smith has revealed that he's in the "worst shape of his life" as he shares a shirtless snap after lockdown

The 52-year-old has admitted that he'd piled on the pounds recently and has hit his highest weight ever.

The actor, who is used to gaining and shedding weight for his roles, gave fans a glimpse at his new figure.

Will posted a photo of him wearing a pair of tight black shorts and a blue unzipped hoddie that exposed his stomach and chest.

The Aladdin star looked in good spirits as he posed for the pic at his stunning 9-bedroom California home.

He wrote: "I'm gonna be real wit yall - I'm in the worst shape of my life."

A number of fans flocked to praise the actor on his body confidence, with one writing: "You're Will Smith! You can be in whatever shape you want."

Another posted: "Let me be real with you. You're 52. You look great."

A third added: "You've been in shape your whole life. Enjoy the dad bod with pride!"

Considering how we've been confined to our homes on-and-off for over a year, it was almost inevitable that we'd put on a few pounds in lockdown.

It's been a year of baking banana bread and binging Netflix on the sofa, so it's no surprise that the Hollywood star is noticing a few extra pounds since emerging from lockdown.

Earlier this week Will's wife Jada Pinkett Smith, along with her daughter Willow, admitted they have a "sexual attraction" to women.
