The latter has appeared to take a slight turn during the pandemic...which the Bad Boys for Life star revealed in a hilarious way. Will kept the laughs coming when he shared a very relatable photo of himself with no shirt on, unveiling the dad bod he picked up over the last several months.

The photo, which got over 4.6 million likes in only 12 hours, quickly went viral, with fans and his celebrity friends not being able to resist dropping crying laughing emojis, and jokes in the comments for his refreshing candor.

Will always brings on the laughs on Instagram
Plenty of fans praised Will for being so honest, too, with one adding: "That’s the funniest, realest thing I’ve ever seen. Way to change the façade of Instagram."
“Thank you!!! Aren’t we all after this pandemic?”, another added. The actor's post is certainly relatable - as gyms and fitness studios closed last year, many of us had to find new ways to work out, and keeping it tight and toned hasn't always been easy, even as they've opened back up.

The good news for Will is that he hasn’t fallen off that hard at all. A few weeks in the gym and he’ll be back to ripped-up status if he so wishes!
