Hollywood star Jack Black gave an Australian paparazzo a first-hand taste of his Kung Fu Panda magic on Sunday.

The American actor and comedian, 55, is currently in queensland filming a reboot of the 1997 horror film Anaconda with Paul Rudd.

Black was enjoying his day off on a Gold Coast beach, wearing a pair of Tenacious D ‘Satan’ print shorts and a psychedelic tie-dye T-shirt, when he was approached by a tabloid photographer.

The world-famous actor took a unique approach to protecting himself from the man and his camera: he pulled some stunts from his hit film franchises Jumanji and Kung Fu Panda.

In hilarious footage captured with the paparazzo’s Google glasses, Black is seen fighting with him, throwing high kicks and punches just inches from his face.

As the actor danced around him, he created all his own cartoony sound effects for each attack.

With each kick, Black extended his legs diagonally, extending his toes up to head height with a surprisingly fast speed.

‘Do you know I’m recording?’ the photographer says to Jack in the clip, who comically shakes his head and then runs off down the beach.

Daily Mail understands that the School of Rock star saw the photographer and then agreed to do a short skit for him.

Black appeared to be embracing the Australian lifestyle as he enjoyed a dip in the ocean and played frisbee barefoot in the sand.

She completed one of her signature eclectic ensembles with a pair of dark sunglasses, a beige Akubra hat and carried her belongings in a baby pink beach bag from the five-star Langham Hotel, where she is staying.

A nearby beachgoer filmed the hilarious scene on his phone and posted the clip to a comedy Instagram account this afternoon.

The footage quickly racked up hundreds of comments.

“I thought, ‘Who does this guy think he is?’ “Jack Black?” and (then) he turns around,’ one person commented with several laughing and crying emojis.

He didn't break character once during his unique approach to protecting himself from the paparazzi, and even made his own sound effects while performing a Kung Fu stunt scene with the photographer.

The big guy has some flexibility. Good for him,” said a second Instagram user.

Full credit to that guy for having his leg so high at that age. “I would have high kicked him and torn a muscle,” added a third.

Black shared a video of himself hitting the gym with his 14.2 million followers just two weeks ago, in which he lifts weights.

The musician’s black and red shorts, printed with a cartoonish image of Satan, appear to be a reference to his band Tenacious D.

Black was sensationally forced to cancel the band’s 2024 Australian Spicy Meat Ball tour after bandmate Kyle Gass made a nasty joke about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

“All future creative plans” for the band were put on hold in July after Black said he was “surprised” by Kyle’s comments on stage in Sydney.

But in August, he told fans not to worry: “I love Tenacious D… We had to take a break, but I love D. Everyone takes a break sometimes.” We will return.’

The original surprise starred Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Ice Cube and Jon Voight.

The original Anaconda movie starred Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Ice Cube and Jon Voight.

The new story, according to Hollywood Reporter sources, involves a group of friends facing a midlife crisis and remaking their favorite movie from their youth.

Directed by American filmmaker Tom Gormican, the Anaconda reboot is produced by Sony and received state government funding through Screen Queensland’s production attraction strategy.

The production received a 30 per cent tax rebate through the federal government’s location compensation subsidy, which aims to attract major productions to Australia.

The rainforests of Queensland will ‘replace’ the film’s setting, which is the Amazon rainforest.
