Is your name Will Smith? Netflix has an urgent message for you
Actor Will Smith is embarking on a “big, global world tour” to promote his newest Netflix movie, “Bright,” in countries including Australia, Canada, Japan and the U.S.
“It’s too much stuff, it’s interviews, it’s long days, so I came up with an idea,” Smith said in a video tweeted out by Netflix.
But he needs the help of some to make his idea possible.
He needs all the Will Smiths in the world to stand up – or just let Netflix know that you exist.
“I can’t do it all myself. I need y’all to help me out,” Smith said. “All Will Smiths, please stand up!”
The video then ends with a message from Netflix:
“Please comment or message Netflix to find out more...”
