Will Smith cuts a casual figure at Australian Open

He’s the Hollywood A-Lister who has been getting up close and personal with Australia’s fauna during his current visit Down Under.

And Will Smith took a break from talking to the animals on Friday to take in a spot of tennis at the Australian Open at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.

The Suicide Squad star was in the crowd to watch the third-round match between Australian ace Nick Kyrgios and French player Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

 

Cowboy chic: Will Smith cut a casual figure, wearing a neckerchief on Friday as he watched some tennis at the Australian Open at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne

He looked relaxed and comfortable as he soaked up the atmosphere with a couple of friends.

Perhaps channelling his previous role in the sci-fi/western flick Wild Wild West, Will wore a striped blue neckerchief – a staple accessory for cowboys.

He matched this unique addition with a white sports T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans and a pair of blue trainers.

Will looked chuffed to be amidst the action, and was seen to flash a ‘peace’ sign to photographers.

Will has certainly been making the most of his Down Under trip, taking time out to get up close and personal with Australia’s wildlife.

On Thursday, he headed to Sydney’s Featherdale Wildlife Park with vlogger Natalie Tran, where he had an encounter with what he described as a freaky a** snake, while also having a quick chat to a chilled-out koala. 

Snap happy: No stranger to social media, Will also found time to take  a selfie to document his day at the tennis.

Also on Wednesday, the actor found himself at Wild Life Sydney where he documented an encounter with a crocodile to Instagram in a segment he called When Dumb People Get Bit. 

Will’s experience meeting a wombat later on was less stressful, as he appeared delighted by the native marsupial. 

‘He’s my new baby,’ Will remarked during the clip. ‘So there’s Trey, and Jaden and Willow… and now we’ve got a wombat!’
