Actor Will Smith arrived in Monaco to attend the E1 Series Grand Prix, where he also represented his own Westbrook Racing team.
During the event, Smith sported a completely shaved head, a departure from the closely cropped buzz cut he has worn for years. The new look was paired with a crisp white T‑shirt, a short‑sleeved crochet cardigan, brown and black striped trousers, and frameless sunglasses.
Earlier that day, a casual photo of Smith on a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean showed him in a red polo shirt and black trousers, promoting the team’s partnership with Visit Angola.
Smith later clarified that the shaved head was not a fashion statement but a preparation for an upcoming film role. In a video posted to social media, he noted the haircut was part of a character he will play in the upcoming action‑thriller Supermax.
Supermax follows two FBI agents investigating a murder inside a high‑security prison. The film marks Smith’s first major project since 2024’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die.
The actor’s new appearance has sparked comparisons to his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who has publicly discussed her alopecia. Her own experience with hair loss has been documented in her memoir and on her television show.
Around the same time, wrestler‑turned‑actor John Cena revealed he underwent a second hair transplant after fan encouragement. He explained the procedure, known as Follicular Unit Excision, involves extracting individual follicles and implanting them into thinning areas.
Cena posted a photo of his bald head before the surgery, indicating he shaved to provide better visibility for the transplant procedure.
