While shooting for a new movie in Budapest, film star Will Smith climbed the city’s stately landmark of the Hungarian State Opera for a panoramic photo that he shared on his Instagram account. The post, with St. Stephen’s Basilica and Gellért Hill in the background, has generated around three million likes and manifold comments by Smith’s followers from all over the world. The star of “Men In Black” has based himself in the Hungarian capital to work on “Gemini Man”, a fantasy film by Taiwanese director Ang Lee. Shooting locations include public spaces across the city and the Korda Studios at Etyek, west of Budapest.
During his current Budapest stay, this is the first image on
the actor’s Instagram account that shows city scenes. Last week, the Baalbek Lebanese Restaurant at Buddha-Bar Hotel Budapest posted a photo of the actor as he was posing with staff.
Smith also put the final touches to the official World Cup song in Budapest, also featuring Nicky Jam and the Albanian Era Istrefi, a sassier-than-usual ditty for a football anthem.
