Tèa looks as though she's aging backwards after her talent agency released new headshots ahead of her comeback.

Bad Boys follows Will Smith and Martin Lawrence playing two detectives in the Miami Police Department.

After her role in Bad Boys, she went on to star as Elizabeth McCord in the CBS series Madam Secretary, which she also produced.

She quit the show in 2019 after a five-year stint.

Madam Secretary was cancelled after season 6 after the show's ratings dropped - having less than half the audience numbers it had in the first season.

The plot followed Téa's role after she was appointed as the United States Secretary of State after having served as a CIA analyst and political science professor.

She's also due to star alongside Will Poulter, Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega in Death of a Unicorn.

The film follows a father and daughter who accidentally kill a unicorn and then face the consequences.

Death of a Unicorn has wrapped production and doesn't have a release date yet.

While Tea is busy with other commitments, Will Smith is back on the set of Bad Boys 4.

His new leading lady is Melanie Liburd, who he was spotted smooching during filming in Miami.

At 55, he is 19 years older than the British actress, who is best known for her role in This Is Us.

Will was dressed in a sharp white suit jacket and black suit trousers, while Melanie stunned in a shoulder-less bridal gown.

The original Bad Boys triology, which ran from 1995 to 2020, has amassed a staggering $841.2m at the global box office.
