The One Show was joined by Hollywood A-Lister Will Smith talking from Wimbledon about his latest film on Wednesday, but fans were confused by his appearance.
The 53-year-old actor looked dashing in a three piece suit and tie as he talked to the studio from Wimbledon, next to the trophy cabinet.
Smith was talking about his new film, King Richard, about the father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams, but fans couldn’t stop commenting about his appearance.
“Didn’t recognise Will Smith here!” said one surprised fan.
“Will Smith looks different and I’m not sure why or how” added another.
“Will Smith doesn’t look like Will Smith!” queried another viewer.
However one fan disagreed: “How does Will Smith look the same now as he did in the Fresh Prince days?” they praised.
The star revealed Venus and Serena both said they didn’t want to put their name to the film until they had watched it.
“When the idea came up they were a little hesitant,” he said.

“They said they would executive produce but would wait until they saw it to put their names on.”
“I got the call a couple of months ago to say they were going into the movie theatre to see the film”, he explained.
“So that was the absolute worst two hours of my life waiting to hear word,” he joked, as host Zoe Ball laughed.

Fortunately it was good news: “They came out full tears, they were so honoured. They agreed to put their names on the film.”
“When you make a movie like this there’s only really one audience, nd that’s the person or the people you’re depicting.”
“When they walked out of that theatre and agreed to put their names on it, that was one of the highest moments of my career.”
