Will Smith Reveals How Bad Boys 4 Had to 'Shoot Around' Pregnant Vanessa Hudgens' Baby Bump


Will Smith recalled how the crew of 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die' had to shoot 'around' pregnant Vanessa Hudgens' baby bump after filming was delayed by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.

Filming on the fourth installment of the action-comedy franchise began in March 2023, but was stalled during the SAG-AFTRA actors' strike, which lasted 118 days from July to November 2023. "So the strike happened [and] when she came back and we had to finish the movie, it was really [about] trying to figure out how to shoot around [the bump]," the Men in Black star said. Smith praised the High School Musical alum, who plays weapons expert Kelly in the franchise, as "a hard worker."
