Captioning the video, Will said: "Wow! Thank You Red Sea Film Festival! You have created real Magic — An Oasis of art & creativity! What's Next? I'm in." Fans were loving the clip, with many begging him to team up with Johnny.

"Ooooh...Will Smith and Johnny Depp... I'd definitely watch a movie with both of them," one fan commented. Another said: "Anyone else get super excited when they saw Johnny Depp," while a third person pleaded: "Please do a movie with Johnny Depp."

During his time at the film festival, Will reflected on his decades-long career. The Men In Black star spoke to a crowd in Saudi Arabia on Saturday and addressed the "adversities" that he's faced while being in the public eye.

Will started by recalling the time he was filming a scene in Mozambique for his 2001 film Ali. He was in a remote town with no electricity for miles. A woman who was washing something in the river said to him as he passed by: "Get Jiggy With It," the name of one of his songs.

The actor admitted he was shocked by the comment. "It was like, what? How do you know?" he said. Will continued to open up about his experience with fame.

He said: "Fame is a unique monster and I've had to be really careful. You can't get excited when everybody is saying good things about you because the more you take when people are saying good things, the more hurt you're going to be when people are saying bad things about you."

"What I've experienced in my adversities of the last couple years is I have to be clear about who I am and what I am attempting to do in the world and I can't need others to applaud for me to stay focused on my mission," he added.

"I have always wanted to put good into the world. I've always wanted to make people smile. I've always been devoted to the process of joy and inspiration and I want you to feel good. I am here because I want you to feel good and at the same time I am deeply human and my virtue is not yet perfected.

"But I am in the process of perfecting my virtue so I would say the greatest thing that has happened is I have been deeply humbled and deeply inspired to perfect my light and that's what this next phase of my life is going to be - perfecting and shining my light as brightly as I can on as many people as I can," he finished his speech.
