An image of the meandering coastal run and Lubaina Himid’s "Jelly Mould Pavilion" features as part of a series of snaps shared by the Fresh Prince of Bell Air star.

It had been adapted to feature a cardboard cut out of a couple dancing with the pavillion doubling up as the young woman's skirt.

The 52-year-old actor posted the image alongside other iconic landscapes.

These included Paris, London and the Matterhorn mountain in the Swiss Alps.

At the end of the reel, the four-time Grammy winner playfully featured himself alongside his own clippings, blending in with the surroundings.

The image and clipping of Folkestone beach was taken in May by the artist and Instagram star Paperboyo.

It was used for a promotion for Heineken's new drink Pure Piraña, a carbonated alcoholic beverage.

The Jelly Mould Pavilion features along an 800m long wooden walkway on the beach, alongside other notable artworks including AK Dolven’s suspended bell "Out of Tune" and Sol Calero’s "Casa Anacaona".
