Will Smith’s foray back into the realm of social media ramped up over the weekend when he posted a video showing himself and his oldest son corralling a giant spider in their house.
“What the whole hell? That is a big-ass spider!” Will, 53, said in the video of the apparent Tarantula.
The Oscar winner put his son Trey in charge of spider wrangling, climbing onto a chair for his own safety as the giant arachnid crawls across the floor.
“C’mon, you’re young and strong,” he tells Trey, 29. “You can handle the bite.”
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Airstar did eventually step in to help, after Trey trapped the spider under a glass while his dad screamed in the background.
“We’re taking turns, we’re a team,” Will said to the camera. The next shot revealed his casual mint green hoodie and bright pink shorts, while he held the spider inside the cup using a piece of paper.

“So that’s the biggest spider we’ve ever seen in our lives,” said Trey.
“I don’t like it at all,” Will said, adding, “We’re selling the house.”
The caption on the post jokes “posting this from a Holiday Inn,” and even garnered a comment from his wife,Jada Pinkett Smith’s,Red Table Talkaccount. “That’s HIS house now,” the comment said.

The Oscarsoutburst led to months of fallout for the best actor winner, who resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and was banned from attending Academy events for 10 years.
In the apology clip posted in late July, Will claimed he had reached out to Rock privately and that he received a message back that the comic and actor was “not ready to talk” but would “reach out” when he was ready.
