London 2012, Big Willie style: Smith tries his hand at some Olympic sports

The actor was put through his paces in London this morning.

IT’S NO MIAMI, but Will Smith looked as though he was enjoying himself in London this morning.

The artist formerly known as the Fresh Prince, who is currently on tour to promote the upcoming Men in Black III, stopped by Imperial College London for pre-Olympic training with some Team GB athletes.

Smith played Muhammad Ali in the boxer’s biopic and regularly shot some hoops as the title character in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, so the basketball and boxing sessions probably weren’t too testing.

He seems to have struggled with the hurdles and triple jump though.
