Will Smith unveiled a bold new look when he surfaced solo in Monaco this week, revealing he has shaved his head completely bald.
The 57-year-old’s exposed pate gleamed in the sun as he attended the E1 Series Monaco Grand Prix, an all-electronic boat-racing tournament.
Will, who owns a team called Westbrook Racing by Visit Angola that is competing in the event, grinned and flashed a peace sign as he strolled into the paddock.
He posed for pictures with such high-flyers as Monaco’s reigning Prince Albert and Spanish businessman Alejandro Agag, the founder and chairman of E1.
His sunny display of bonhomie comes weeks after Will’s fans lambasted his wife Jada Pinkett Smith online, taking her to task for an alleged ‘toxic’ gesture she made towards him as he signed autographs in Paris.
Jada and Will married in 1997 and separated in 2016 but are in an unconventional ‘life partnership’ and are reported to be living together again.
The Daily Mail has contacted Will and Jada’s representatives for comment.

A viral clip showed the family heading to a car, before Oscar-winner Will stops to sign autographs for a plethora of waiting fans.
A somber Jada, who was following behind and holding onto Will’s arm, was filmed placing her hand on her husband’s back, moving past him and swiftly walking off in the opposite direction.
She then cracked a smile and turned back briefly as photographers called her name.
The clip was posted online with the caption claiming, ‘Jada Pinkett shoved Will Smith aside while he was signing autographs for fans and walked away like he was a complete stranger.’
Fans erupted in the comment section writing, ‘I still don’t know what secret she has of Will that has made him to still stick with her This is a woman that detests you
‘Shoving him aside mid-autograph like that felt unnecessarily harsh.
‘Loser behavior. She needs to get over Tupac and stop cucking Will.
‘This relationship is toxic…simply put…if you have no respect for your spouse (Jada), then move on…can’t you do bad by yourself…
‘And he slapped a close friend on stage for her,
‘She hates he gets all the attention.’
Others defended Pinkett, adding, ‘She touched him, as she passed. Like an acknowledgement. No shoving.
It comes after Will’s fans turned on Jada over an alleged ‘toxic’ gesture she made towards the actor as he signed autographs in Paris last month
‘No woman could ever hate that guy. He has a big heart.
Another wrote, ‘She didn’t shove him to the side at all, nor she ignored him like a stranger considering she’s following her daughter.’
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for the pair for comment and has yet to hear back.
Aside from this Paris trip, the last time they were spotted together in public was for a family dinner in early June, their first joint appearance in six months.
The pair were spotted at Nobu Malibu in California with Smith’s mother Caroline as well as Jaden and Smith’s son Trey, 33.
The couple remain legally married since their wedding in 1997, but have been famously living separate lives in an unconventional ‘life partnership’ since 2016.
Last month, it was revealed that Will is set to star in his first non-franchise film in years after signing on to star in Supermax.
The film follows ‘two FBI agents investigating a murder that has taken place in the world’s most secure prison,’ and production is expected to begin in August, before the movie will be released for streaming, according to Deadline.
He will be playing one of the lead FBI agents, and casting for the female counterpart is reportedly still in progress.
Jada revealed in 2023 that she and Smith separated in 2016 – but have not taken steps to officially divorce.
They tied the knot in 1997, but in October 2023 Jada spoke about their separation during an interview with Hoda Kotb on Today.
She explained: ‘By the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be.’
The actress – who first crossed paths with Smith on set of The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air in the mid-90s – also previously shared that she had an affair with singer August Alsina in 2020.

However, Jada expressed that she has never been able to go through a legal divorce with Smith.
‘I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through whatever. And I just haven’t been able to break that promise.’
Hoda then questioned the actress, ‘But you still live separately?’ which prompted Jada to confirm that she and Smith ‘live separately.’
Last year in January, a source gave an update to People on the status of their relationship.
‘Call it what you want. They are living their own lives but haven’t completely severed ties,’ the insider said.
A separate source also told the outlet that the pair ‘are still together’ but ‘have had separate homes for years.’
Last year, it was revealed that the Hollywood duo reunited for a new business venture amid the actor’s attempts to relaunch his career after the viral Oscars slap.
Their entertainment company Westbrook signed a first-look deal with Paramount to create new theatrical films, hinting at the actor’s gradual return to Hollywood.
Will has been largely frozen out of the industry since he slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards, but is now expected to star in projects developed under the partnership, while Pinkett will take on producing roles.
Jada’s marriage to Will previously came under blistering public scrutiny in 2020, when she interviewed him on her chat show Red Table Talk about an ‘entanglement’ she had four years earlier with Alsina, who is 21 years her junior.
Her split from Will happened in the same year that she had the affair with Alsina.
Jada confirmed that she was in an ‘entanglement’ with Alsina – but insisted that she and Will were separated at the time.
‘We were over,’ she said to Will on the episode. ‘From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August.’
However, the pair denied Alsina’s claim that Smith had given him permission to pursue the relationship with Jada.
