“He’s unashamedly himself”: Only Jack Black Can Do This, The Kung Fu Panda 4 Star’s Recent Picture Goes Viral For a Wholesome Reason
Jack Black is one of the most iconic celebrities in Hollywood. He started his career in the entertainment industry with supporting roles in movies like Demolition Man, The Cable Guy, and Dead Man Walking. He had his breakthrough role in High Fidelity and established his leading-man status with the School of Rock.
Besides acting, Black is also the lead vocalist of the American comedy rock band Tenacious D, which he formed in 1994 with Kyle Gass. The band embarked on The Spicy Metaball Tour last year in May and did shows in Europe for a second time on the fourth leg of the tour. Recently, the Tropic Thunder actor was spotted in Brighton and the picture has been going viral for a hilarious reason.
Jack Black Was Spotted on a Stroll in Brighton
Jack Black has always been unique in his own way. His parents were satellite engineers; his mother Judith Love Cohen had contributed to numerous major scientific projects. Even one of his half-siblings through his mother, Neil Siegel is a scientist, but Black chose a career path that no one in his family could have even fathomed, and he has been successful in it.
Black has played some of the most iconic roles in movies. He is the voice of the character Po in the Kung Fu Panda franchise and also portrayed the character of Professor Shelly in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Jumanji: The Next Level.
These days he is busy touring as the lead vocalist of Tenacious D, known for hit songs including Tribute, Wonderboy, and Beelzeboss. On May 13, the band made a stop at Brighton in the UK and performed at the Brighton Center (via tenaciousd). A couple of days later, an X user shared a picture of Black claiming he was “casually walking around Brighton”.

In the picture, the actor can be seen standing on the sidewalk of a street sporting a white beard, wearing a tie-dye t-shirt and matching shorts, with a pair of headphones on.
Fans Had Hilarious Reactions to Jack Black’s Picture
Black is often appreciated for his humourous and unbothered demeanor. The X user pointed out how any bodyguards were not accompanying the actor during his stroll. Fans had hilarious reactions to this as one industry insider Daniel Richtman even wrote:
Why would he need bodyguards? https://t.co/1KGLowHDZa

It has to be noted that this is not the first time the Goosebumps star has gone out in public without any security as The Scottish Sun reported that he was seen in public in a similar outfit earlier this month in Glasgow near the city’s Bothwell Street. He even stopped by to click some selfies with the fans who had spotted him. This was around the same time as his concert at OVO Hydro in Glasgow.
