Hollywood actor Will Smith is in Maldives for a summer getaway.

The popular American actor reportedly arrived in the Maldives on Sunday. Photos circulating on social media show him posing with a cabin crew aboard a domestic flight operated by Maldives’ flagship carrier Maldivian.

However, his choice of vacation spot is unclear.

In the late 1980s, Smith achieved modest fame as a rapper under the name The Fresh Prince. In 1990, his popularity increased dramatically when he starred in the NBC television series, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which ran for six seasons until 1996.

After the series ended, Smith transitioned from television to film and went on to star in numerous blockbuster films. He is the only actor to have eight consecutive films gross over USD 100 million in the domestic box office, 11 consecutive films gross over USD 150 million internationally, and eight consecutive films in which he starred open at the number one spot in the domestic box office tally.

Smith has been ranked as the most bankable star worldwide by Forbes. As of 2014, 17 of the 21 films in which he has had leading roles have accumulated worldwide gross earnings of over USD 100 million each, with five taking in over USD 500 million each in global box office receipts. As of 2016, his films have grossed USD 7.5 billion at the global box office.

For his performances as boxer Muhammad Ali in Ali (2001) and stockbroker Chris Gardner in The Pursuit of Happyness (2006), Smith received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor. He has been nominated for five Golden Globe Awards and two Academy Awards, and has won four Grammy Awards.
