Hollywood actor Will Smith on Sunday chose an unlikely prop to announce his arrival in Dubai on Sunday.

The Aladdin star posted a picture of himself seated on a toilet seat looking over the splendid sight of skyscraper­s to update his fans about his UAE sojourn.

“This is the Highest Toilet on Earth! Burj Khalifa, Dubai. 154th Floor. Sittin’ on top of the world! (The Joke was too Easy:-),” Smith posted on Instagram.

Smith, who was spotted filming at various locations around Dubai, is no stranger to the city and has expressed his love more than once.

“[Dubai] really flows with who I am. You never know why a city speaks to you… It’s just the energy of progress, the people, the design, the ideas. Everything has to be the best in the world and I love that energy,” Smith was quoted in reports at that time.

But it isn’t just the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa, and its toilets that have impressed this award-winning actor.

Smith, who was recently in India, also posted pictures of his exploits there.

Videos of him at the Taj Mahal in Agra, and him busting a few moves on the set of upcoming Bollywood film Student Of The Year 2 with actor Tiger Shroff have been doing the rounds.

He was also enamoured by the tuk tuks (auto-rickshaws) in Mumbai.

“Think I’m about to Launch a Tuk Tuk Company in LA! Mumbai has short trip transporta­tion figured OUT!” said Smith.

He also visited the Hindu holy town of Haridwar and performed rituals at a local temple to offset bad luck.
