Will Smith has joined TikTok and he’s done so by echoing the words of millions of reluctant TikTok users: “I guess I’m on TikTok now.”
The introductory clip already has more than 1 million likes, and Smith is getting in on the popular #loopchallenge: With the help of fellow TikTokker Caleb Natale, Smith is plucked out of a phone and dropped into TikTok.
