Will Smith agrees to visit Bahrain after Omar Farooq’s video hits one million likes

Hollywood star Will Smith has agreed to visit Bahrain after social media creator Omar Farooq’s video reached the one million likes milestone, following a light-hearted challenge issued earlier this year.

The moment took place in January 2026 during the 1 Billion Followers Summit in Dubai, where Smith and Farooq met in person. During their interaction, Smith playfully told Farooq that Bahrain would be his next destination if the video managed to cross one million likes, turning the exchange into a viral online challenge.

Since then, Farooq’s video has reportedly achieved the target, sparking excitement among fans across the region. Social media users have been closely tracking the like count, celebrating the milestone, and speculating about what Smith’s visit to Bahrain could include.

As of now, no official travel date or itinerary has been announced by Will Smith or his team. However, the agreement has generated significant buzz online, with fans eagerly awaiting confirmation of the actor’s Middle East travel plans.

Updates related to the potential visit are expected to be shared through Omar Farooq’s Instagram account (@omr94) and the official channels of the 1 Billion Followers Summit, where the original challenge was made public.

If confirmed, the visit would mark another high-profile celebrity moment linked to the influencer summit, highlighting the growing global influence of Middle Eastern digital creators and platforms.
