Will Smith celebrates Eagles Super Bowl win by making a hilarious short film

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Everyone prepares for Super Bowl Sunday in a myriad of ways. For some, the annual celebration of high-impact brutishness is an excuse to throw a raucous party with several friends and family in-tow. For others, it means going out to a nearby pub, and shouting obscenities at a series of flat screens alongside a group of like-minded strangers. But for Philadelphia-born actor, Will Smith, a damn fine way to celebrate is by creating a hilarious short-film that displays your unique and overwhelming sense of pride for your home team, the Eagles. 

You can enjoy Smith's Super Bowl pre-game antics by watching the Instagram post below:

Much to Smith's delight, the Philidelphia Eagles won the game (41-33) against the New England Patriots. As a result of the historic victory, the Fresh Prince posted a follow-up video in which he plays Bill Conti's classic "Gonna Fly Now," known to many as "The Rocky Theme," while shuffling along a hardwood floor and shouting "Philly's in the building!" One thing's for sure, Smith certainly knows how to represent.

For me, I celebrated this year's Super Bowl by watching Netflix's new sci-fi drama ALTERED CARBON with my wife, while checking for score updates via Twitter. I'll tell you what though, I would definitely have accepted an invite to Smith's viewing party, as I find his zeal for the game to be rather infectious.
