Will Smith, once again thwarted by the forces of the night.

Will Smith has been known to indulge in a little bit of self-deprecation from time and time again. Today is one of those days, as the Fresh Prince uses Throwback Thursday to come through with the jokes. Taking to Instagram, the legendary actor shares what was initially believed to be a deleted scene from I Am Legend. Upon further reflection, it was confirmed to be a photograph of both Will Smith and Marilyn Manson, forging what may or may not have been an unholy pact.

The stylistic juxtaposition between both parties is amusing unto itself, a fact not entirely lost on Smith. "#Tbt to 2003 when @marilynmanson had a better stylist than me," writes Smith, in the accompanying caption. Of course, Manson's "gothic chic" aesthetic is impeccable, drawn from the Dark Lord catalog and tailor suited for his iconic pallor. Smith appears to have borrowed a sweater three sizes too big, and seems utterly giddy to be breaking bread with the likes of Manson. 

Check out the photograph below.
