How did Will Smith and KSI react to IShowSpeed and his brother in the gym?

Will Smith recently collaborated with KSI in one of his streams, and one moment from the stream has now gone viral on social media. The clip features KSI and Smith reacting with amusement to a video of IShowSpeed and his brother’s antics in the gym. They can be seen struggling to contain their laughter throughout the clip as Speed's brother grumbled about how uncomfortable the exercise bikes were.

To add to the comedic effect, the duo decided to close their eyes midway through the clip and even encouraged viewers to do the same. The humor also received its share of positive props from Will Smith, who used the phrase 'next level comedy' and 'high comedy IQ', indicating that he was thoroughly entertained by the situation. Their collaboration has caused a stir on social media as well, and the general reception among fans has been positive.

Will Smith's comeback on the big screen?

The infamous Chris Rock incident has significantly altered Will Smith's Hollywood trajectory. Before the incident, he was known in the industry as the man with the Midas touch and helped build several franchises from the ground up. He even rejected a few projects along the way, such as Inception.

Nevertheless, the events that followed the incident have not been too kind to him, and even his latest film at the box office, Emancipation, was a major disappointment. Smith recently made an appearance on BBC's 1Xtra, where he reflected on the Oscars incident and made a bold prediction:

"After the Oscars I, like, shut it down for a minute and really went into the internal work…All of a sudden, it was like there was a manhole cover over some unexplored areas, and like the manhole cover came off, and it was scary for a minute. Then all of a sudden all of these new thoughts, new energies and new creativity came through. So, I feel like I’m brand new. I feel like the greatest creative period of my life will be in the next, you know, five to 10 years."

With Hollywood suddenly becoming a more complicated landscape for the star, Will Smith has had to adapt by pivoting to alternative creative outlets. He has been a regular presence on several podcasts and has collaborated with many influencers and streamers in the recent past, such as PlaqueBoyMax, Doechii, Diljit Dosanjh, and KSI.

He has since returned to his roots with the release of Based on a True Story, which was his first album in more than 20 years. He is also in the process of making a summer tour around Europe and parts of Africa to celebrate his new album, which will kick off on July 13, 2025.

The exact time that Will Smith is expected to be back on the big screen, however, remains a mystery. He has been confirmed to feature in several exciting projects, including Fast and Loose and Resistor, though audience and critical reception is still pending. Apart from the aforementioned projects, he is also set to appear in I Am Legend 2 alongside Michael B. Jordan.
