Will Smith, Martin Lawrence Attend Bad Boy: Ride Or Die Premiere With Families

Hollywood actors Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have reunited for Bad Boys: Ride or Die. The film recently saw its Hollywood premiere being held at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre. A slew of celebrities arrived in style to attend the premiere. But, it was the families of both the protagonists who stole the limelight. Not just that, Will’s rap performance of his song Miami further added to the thrill.

For the film’s Los Angeles premiere, Will rocked an all-black ensemble. Jada Pinkett picked a geometric-patterned gown. Well, their kids Willow and Jaden were the real stars as they sported trendy outfits. Will’s son from his first marriage, Trey Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris, Jada’s mother, also attended the special occasion, rooting for Will.

On the other hand, Martin Lawrence was joined by his two daughters, Iyanna Lawrence, and Amara Lawrence for his big day. Not to forget his ex-wife, Shamicka Gibbs, who happens to be Martin Lawrence’s closest friend, also marked her presence at the premiere.

Reflecting on the importance of his family joining him for the event, Will Smith told ET, “It was beautiful seeing our kids together,” adding “Because Trey and Jasmine are right around the same age.” Recalling the initial days of the Bad Boys franchise, the actor noted that their children were newborns when the first film was released. He continued, “We had newborns around the time of the first Bad Boys. So to have them here in their 30s is like [mind-blowing].”

The premiere marked a significant moment for Will who will be making a big screen appearance after a gap of two years since 2022’s “Emancipation.” Interestingly, the actor arrived at the theatre on a double-decker bus with Lawrence. He was joined by the directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah and producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

Coming back to Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the film is the fourth installment in the action-comedy franchise. It will see Will and Lawrence reprising their roles as Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett navigating through challenges after their commanding officer is framed. Besides the dynamic duo, the film also stars Alexander Ludwig, Vanessa Hudgens, Eric Dane, and Tiffany Haddish in pivotal roles.
