🎤✨Imagine getting a surprise invitation to dance on stage with Will Smith! That’s exactly what happened to 19-year-old Callum Jones and his fellow students from Cardiff when the Hollywood superstar hit Cardiff Castle this past bank holiday Monday. Will, performing as part of his Based on a True Story European tour, turned the Men in Black hit into a local affair with dance students from the area joining him on stage.
Callum, from Porthcawl, shared the jaw-dropping moment when their jazz teacher popped the question: “Fancy dancing with Will Smith?” Talk about a plot twist in your uni group chat! Though nervous, Callum and the gang decided to leap at the chance, marking an unforgettable career moment most can only dream of. He called the experience “terrifying and insane,” but also the kind of opportunity that gets your adrenaline racing.
These future stars donned their sharp suits and slick sunglasses, transforming into Wales’ very own division of the Men in Black. Turns out, Will wasn’t just an alien-busting icon; he was also the ultimate hype man, meeting the students and making them feel right at home on the stage.
After the show, it wasn’t just the thrill of performing with a global icon that lit them up. The audience swarmed the dancers, eager for pictures and autographs, giving them a taste of stardom that none of them saw coming. Callum reflected on how this once-in-a-lifetime experience has opened up new avenues in their theatrical dreams, making the sky the limit.
It’s not every day you get called the Welsh division of the Men in Black by Will Smith himself, but for these students, it was a day to remember. Wherever their paths lead, this is just the beginning of their star-studded journey! 🌟🕶️ #WillSmith #MenInBlack #CardiffCastle #DreamBig
