Will Smith channeled his "Men in Black" character in a surprise appearance at Coachella set over the weekend.

The Oscar-winning actor was dressed in a suit just like his character Agent J from the 1997 sci-fi action comedy and two sequels during J Balvin's alien-themed set Sunday night.

Smith, backed by other suited-up dancers as well as green extraterrestrial dancers, performed his song "Men in Black" from the film's soundtrack.

As the dancers in suits carried J Balvin off the stage, Smith pulled out a device like the one the agents in "Men in Black" use to erase people's memories and a white light lit up behind him.
