Will Smith has become the latest celebrity to join the BLINK fandom after meeting BLACKPINK at Coachella 2019 this weekend, and declaring himself an official fan.

The Bad Boys For Life star was absolutely loving life at Coachella on Friday where he made a surprise appearance on-stage during his son Jaden Smiths performance.

While the Palm Springs crowd were thrilled to see Will, 50, make a rare appearance on-stage, it seems the blockbuster actor was a little starstruck himself after running into K-pop superstars BLACKPINK.

Will and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith managed to grab the Kill This Love singers backstage at the star-studded music festival for a selfie.

And judging by the ecstatic look on Wills face, it was the moment of a lifetime.

Will captioned the Instagram snap: Ran into @blackpinkofficial after I got off stage… Me & Jada are officially fans! Love that #pixel3 wide angle.

BLACKPINK, which consists of Jennie, Jisoo, Rose and Lisa, have certainly made a grand arrival in the US this month and are notching up the celebrity fans by the day.

Earlier in the week, Harry Styles was spotted watching BLACKPINK perform at The Forum in Los Angeles, confirming himself to be a BLINK member.

The former One Direction singer tried to go incognito at the gig wearing a hat and keeping his eyes firmly on the stage, but he did sit in the VIP section so it was a slight giveaway. He seemed completely engrossed in the show and at one point, sat forward with his hand on his chin while watching intently.
