Will Smith performs ‘Men in Black’ with J Balvin in surprise Coachella appearance

Will Smith rolled back the years as he performed “Men in Black” during J Balvin’s Coachella set on Sunday night (14 April).

The Hollywood star was a surprise guest during the Colombian musician’s set, emerging from below the stage dressed in his iconic black suit and shades look from the 1997 sci-fi comedy.

Balvin beamed from ear to ear as he joined Smith in the dance routine from the song’s music video, appearing particularly amused by the requests to “just slide with me” and “make your neck work”.

Smith ended the song by holding up a memory eraser (named a neuralyzer in the film) and dropping the stage lights.
