That’s one way to stir up controversy.
Will Smith left little to the imagination by wearing nothing but a cowboy hat in a throwback photo honoring his “Wild Wild West” film’s 26th anniversary.
The “Hitch” star was seen concealing himself with the Western topper in a still from the 1999 movie that was posted to his Instagram Monday.
“Wild Wild West came out 26 years ago today- sorry this is the only photo I could find,” Smith, 56, captioned the revealing snap.
Smith’s bulked-up biceps and toned pectorals were on full display in the steamy callback clip.
Fans flooded the comments section of Smith’s cheeky post to lust over his fit physique.
“Let me go frame this 😂,” one person commented.
“the only photo that matters 🤤,” a second person drooled.
“😛😛😛😛😛 MOVE THE HAT!! …who said that omgg,” a social media user joked.
“This is the movie that made me realize you are sexy,” a fan gushed, with another adding, “My favorite scene. Explanation not needed.”
The “Men in Black” actor starred in the Barry Sonnenfeld-directed project with Kevin Kline and Salma Hayek.
The “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” alum and Kline portrayed two secret service agents protecting President Ulysses S. Grant from an assassination plot.
Despite its starry lineup — and whopping $170 million budget — the movie was a box office failure, grossing just $222 million worldwide.
The film also earned negative reviews and was nominated for eight Razzies at the 20th Golden Raspberry Awards — winning the distinction of worst picture and worst original song.
Smith himself has admitted that the movie was his worst role in a 2021 interview with GQ.
“‘Wild Wild West’ is a thorn in my side,” he said, laughing. To see myself in chaps… I don’t like it.”
Adding insult to injury, Smith notoriously picked the failure of a film instead of starring in “The Matrix,” which ended up being a major cinematic success.
