Shoppers at Westfield London were lost for words when they saw Will Smith “working” in Boots.
The Hollywood A-lister surprised Londoners when he got a “job” as a sales assistant in branch of the pharmacy chain on Sunday.
Fans needn’t worry though as Will was simply dabbling in a retail career temporarily to help promote his son Jaden’s water company.
Will originally turned up at the White City shopping centre dressed in his own clothes, before popping into the staff room to change into a Boots uniform, complete with a personalised name tag.
He found a spot by the fridges as he urged customers to buy a bottle of Just Water along with their sandwiches.

His son Jaden , 20, launched eco-friendly Just Water in 2015, which features bottles made of 82 per cent renewable sources.
After becoming a huge success in the United States, Just Water is now launching in the UK and has teamed up with a bottling partner in Ballymena, Northern Ireland to source the water.
On Monday, Will shared a photo of himself in an iconic red phonebox on his Instagrampage, writing: “A few years ago My Son, Jaden started a company, setting out to make bottled water a little safer for our world.
“I’m proud to say, this week we’re expanding outside America with @JUSTUK! We’re on shelves at @BootsUK + @WholeFoodsUK Right This Second!! Go get u a bottle and send me a pic! tag it #justuk.”

Speaking about his son’s business, Will said: “While Jaden was surfing as a young kid, some plastic water bottles floated by him and he soon realised that they were dirtying our oceans and killing the environment.
“He was immediately motivated to do something to save our planet; our future – and with that wish, Just Water was born.”
Just Water will be sold across the UK in Boots and Whole Foods as part of a new partnership.
Jaden said in a statement: “By partnering with a retailer like Boots, it’s exciting that so many people across the UK can feel like they are giving back to the environment by drinking JUST.
“Boots shares the same values as JUST through its social responsibility and dedication to sustainability and I’m excited to work with them for the UK launch.”
