One fan has took it upon themselves to grant a wish for Aladdin actor Will Smith.

The Hollywood genie was left stunned when one of his followers took a social media joke literally and hand-delivered a hilarious gift. He'd posted on his Instagram that he was after a funny meme T-shirt, a spoof of the famous and recognisable Nike design.

With the signature tick turned upside down, the message "I Just Can't" was written across the top, a play on Nike's actual "Just Do It" campaign. Will had penned on his social media accounts, "Hahahaha! Who's gonna get me this shirt?" (sic)

Seemingly thinking nothing of it, imagine his surprise when one fan did just that. Stopping him in the street, Will was approached by one eagle-eyed follower who appears to have had the side-splitting clothing item recreated and handed it over.

In a follow up post, he posed with the fan and wrote: "Apparently @susahes is! Best Fans Ever!!" He was attending the European premiere of Bad Boys: Ride or Die in Berlin when he got approached by Sozan, who also commented on Smith's upload.

"I love you !! you are a legend," she penned, using her picture with Will as her display image – her comment has since received almost 1,000 likes. Fans flocked to laugh at his new shirt and hilarious outcome, with one saying: "Your account is now a dad account Will, and we love it lol." Another said: "I need this for tomorrow."

"Now you need to post a pic of yourself wearing that shirt," someone else said. "Social media is a insane play like wow one post can do so much. This is hilarious and fire," another added. While a final concluded: "Mahnnn I also need that t shirt." (sic)

It comes after Will shocked Coachella festivalgoers last month, making a surprising appearance alongside rapper J Balvin. The I Am Legend actor performed the musician's Men in Black tune from the 1997 box office flick. Dressed in character, Will looked just like his movie character, appearing in a black suit and matching sunglasses.

Looking straight out the film, which starred Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as employees of a secret organisation monitoring extra-terrestrial activity, Will made sure to include some of the Hollywood hit's signature moments, including the mind-erasing device.

Will and Balvin rapped together as backup dancer aliens climbed on stage, with a giant rotating alien making up the set. Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith watched the entire performance from the pit, filming her husband fully embrace his character.

Right at the end of their gig, Balvin was dragged off stage by two people in suits as Will held up the memory device to the crowd, use in the movies for members of the public who have witnessed alien activity, as well as agents wanting to retire.
