On working with Smith for the newest installment of the Bad Boys franchise, star Melanie Liburd tells Screen Rant, "What was so lovely about working with Will is I remember doing this screen test. It was just like a chemistry test. So I flew to Atlanta, and we sat in a room together, and it was just like sitting with a really sweet, lovely [actor]. I was like, 'Oh, okay.' Absolutely lovely.
