Will Smith quite literally fell over his own feet at the sight of Dwayne Johnson’s smouldering good looks. 

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air star has returned to the spotlight in recent weeks – for the first time since he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars earlier this year – to promote his new movie Emancipation. 

It seems he’s back rubbing shoulders with his fellow A-listers but his bromance with Dwayne, 50, is one double act we didn’t expect. 

In his latest social media post, Will, 54, has revealed himself to be Dwayne aka The Rock’s so-called Instagram boyfriend, becoming the man behind the camera. 

The hilarious video begins with the King Richard actor walking backwards down a hallway with his phone in-hand, directing his mystery subject to ‘smile’. 

The scene then cuts to Dwayne, looking suave in a white jumper, matching trousers and a pair of sunglasses, making strides towards Will and pulling his best model poses and faux smiles. 

Making for a rather unexpected double act, Fresh Prince of Bel Air star Will has become Dwayne’s so-called Instagram boyfriend, filming his social media content. 

Will clearly got over-excited as he is then seen falling backwards after tripping over his own feet because, apparently, Dwayne does have that effect on people. 

In the caption, Will joked: ‘You’re in his DMs. I’m shooting his slo mo walks. We are different.’

It remains to be seen why the two were hanging out together but Will has made no secret of his admiration for Dwayne. 

Asked about the prospect of them working together, he told GQ in 2021: ‘That’s my question. He’s avoiding me. I might have to do an old-school SmackDown, walk up on him. I don’t know. I would love to work with The Rock. He is a beast.’

Dwayne briefly addressed the controversy over Will’s shocking actions at the Oscars in March, and recalled how he found out about the incident. 

‘When that happened I was in Hawaii,’ Dwayne said on Good Morning Britain. ‘And then my phone started blowing up. And I didn’t believe it when my phone was blowing up and the first person I called was Kevin [Hart]. I was like, man, let’s talk about this.’ 

Will stormed the stage at the Academy Awards and struck comedian Chris across the face for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. 

The Oscar-winning actor recently broke down in tears and admitted it was a ‘horrific night’, recalling how he just ‘lost it’.
