Will Smith and xQc sat down for a livestream on Twitch this week, during which time the actor started handing out free subscriptions to spectators with the latter's credit card as soon as he left the room.

In a video circulating online, the actor can be seen learning how to navigate the streaming platform alongside guitar player Marcin Patrzalek, 24, as he tries to unban spectators who have been banned. He even begins gifting a handful of people free subscriptions, using xQc's PayPal account to pay for it. However, when the latter walks in, he acts as though nothing has happened.

The video has since begun drawing varied reactions, and while some users found the incident funny, others pointed out that in the end, the money would make it back to the streamer's account anyway. Check out what one user said:

"the money goes back to him anyway."

Scores online joined the discourse with their own opinions and remarks:

"Why would he go on this stream and not like idk Kai’s," someone asked.
"The collab we didn't know we needed," another chimed in.
"Will Smith is a real one for spreading the love," one more quipped.
"Will Smith speedrunning generosity with xQc’s wallet," someone else added.

Even more chimed in with comments:

"Come on Will Atleast give bro a year," someone suggested.
"Damn bro has a unlimited glitch," another pointed out.
"hes a millionaire hes not gonna miss the money," one user opined.
"sounds like xqc got played hard, gotta love the chaos though, people and their wild antics never get old," a user stated.

Scores online were unamused at the idea of Will Smith spending money from a millionaire's account, though others were happy to see him having a good time, with some even noting that he was the "ultimate prankster."


Everything that happened during Will Smith's stream with xQc:

The Oscar-winning actor sat down for the surprise stream just this Wednesday afternoon, and during this time, the two began discussing the meaning of "glazing" and "aura."

During the segment, Smith also alluded to a sequel to the 2008 movie Hancock being in the works, and while he failed to disclose more, he revealed that Zendaya is "being approached for a role."

He did, however, confirm that an I Am Legend sequel is already in development, and Michael B. Jordan is a part of the team.

"Me and Michael B. Jordan, we sat down for about a week," he said. "Just went through character stuff and Akiva Goldsman is the writer, so he's putting that together. Yeah, that's a real thing."

xQc took to X to upload a photo of the two together, captioning it:

"Most random collab of all time but I’m very happy and thankful for Will Smith to come by and stream a little bit with me. Hope that those who watched enjoyed it, love y’all ❤️."

At the time of writing, more details about Will Smith's upcoming projects remain unknown.
