Will Smith posted quite possibly the most relatable Instagram of the year this past week. The actor shared a photo of himself enjoying the outdoors and the sunshine – wearing only a tiny bathing suit and an unzipped sweatshirt. “I’m gonna be real wit yall – I’m in the worst shape of my life,” he captioned the post. (Same.)

Fans and celebs alike could not stop gushing about the post, praising Smith’s self-deprecating sense of humor. Quest Love commented, “This is the most amazing post in the history of social media.” Agreed. Diplo also replied, writing, “Lfggg!” (Shorthand for “let’s f***ing go!”)

Arnold Schwarzenegger also commented on the post, getting in on the joke. “Will, you poor baby, I’m crying for you, even though you’re still in better shape than 90% of America. Keep pumping!” he wrote.

The well-known celebs were not the only ones on board with Smith’s post. With over 6 million likes, plenty of fans were also applauding the actor. One commented, “Thank you!!! Aren’t we all after this pandemic?” Another quipped, “I finally look like my idol, bless up.”

Another put things into perspective, writing, “That bank account in shape tho!!!!!!” Considering Smith’s net worth is an estimated $350 million, we have to say that we agree.

This isn’t Smith’s only relatable post either. Earlier that day, he showed off his video-editing skills with this surprising video of a familiar-looking bear. And it definitely looks like his practice on TikTok has paid off.
