Will Smith<\/a> is sharing his weight loss journey after a “dad bod” photo of him went viral.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” alum revealed on Wednesday\u2019s episode of “Red Table Talk” how he shed 30 pounds to prepare for his role on AppleTV+\u2019s “Emancipation.”<\/p>\n

“You guys may remember I posted the out of shape\u2026the \u2018dad bod\u2019 picture,” he recounted.<\/p>\n

WILL SMITH REVEALS WHICH CO-STAR WOULDN’T SPEAK TO HIM AND HIS ‘TERRIFYING’ MOMENT ON ‘EMANCIPATION’ SET<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“The \u2018dad bod\u2019 picture was my beginning of preparation to lose weight for Peter. I was probably 225-ish when I started and at the lowest, on the movie, I got to 195.”<\/p>\n

In May 2021, the 54-year-old actor<\/a> shared a photo of himself wearing an unzipped jacket with no shirt underneath, and boxers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Smith\u2019s caption read: “I\u2019m gonna be real wit yall – I\u2019m in the worst shape of my life.”<\/p>\n

WILL SMITH, JADA PINKETT SMITH RETURN TO RED CARPET FOR FIRST TIME SINCE OSCARS SLAP<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The “King Richard” actor hosted “Red Table Talk” this week, joined by his three children \u2014 Trey, Willow and Jaden Smith, while Jada Pinkett Smith and her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris were both absent. Smith got candid about his role and talked about transforming into the character of Peter. “Emancipation” tells the story of Peter Smith, an enslaved man who fled a Louisiana plantation in the 1860s.<\/p>\n

In addition to wanting to get in shape for his own well-being, Smith reflected on how critical it was to lose weight for his role.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“For me, the physicality is a big part of what makes people go, \u2018Woah!'” he expressed.<\/p>\n

“To be able to transition and manipulate your body as an actor is a big part of the suspension of disbelief for people.”<\/p>\n

Nearly a week after Smith\u2019s “dad bod” picture went viral, he posted a video of himelf doing intense workouts, with the caption, “The Pursuit of Happyness.”<\/p>\n

Smith continued to explain on “Red Table Talk” how filming conditions helped him drop the weight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Actually, being out in the swamps\u2026it\u2019s hot, it\u2019s nasty,” Smith said.<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re actually in the swamp, so your hands are dirty\u2026you don\u2019t really want to grab food and eat.”<\/p>\n

“Emancipation” is Smith’s first film since the 2022 Oscars controversy<\/a>. The film hit theaters Dec. 9.<\/p>\n

The actor was banned from attending the Academy Awards for the next 10 years after he slapped Chris Rock while the comedian was presenting an award during the ceremony.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
