Will Smith Breaks His Silence | 360 with Speedy

Office Mojo every day waiting for the numbers to be reset you know and wow you know Bad Boys three had a 20% drop in Spain what happened in Spain between Bad Boys 2 and Bad Boys 3 and what happened in Saudi Arabia, why Saudi Arabia rose? How is Saudi Arabia the same as Germany? It's crazy, you know, so I had to, I had to get out of there, but it's, like I said. Poisoned honey is delicious. This interview was supposed to happen a couple of months ago, but Jada had moved on. a book tour, yeah sure, things had gotten a little sour and love is a very personal thing, so what does it feel like for you to have to deal with personal matters in the public eye when you don't intend to? are they like that?

I want my life to be useful and the only mistake I felt about it is that the world would not be kind. I want my life to be examined and if I can learn something that

will

help you if I can say something in this interview that when you walk away you'll say, damn, that was great, they'll bite you, you know, down that road, now you know Speedy doesn't have I have to take that straight path, so you know there can, certainly, there can be more Art in giving the gift, but I want to be able to talk about the things that I've done right and the things that I've done wrong and be able to deliver them so that people I saw them, you know, and for me without being examined. life is almost pointless, you know, so, you know, I'll do it more resourcefully this year, 2024.

I'll certainly be a little more delicate about it, but for me, the process of evolving and elevating and learning to love and learning to share and learn to interact that's what we're all doing, you know, even though a lot of my stuff can be public, it's like no one does it better than me, you know, it's like people just don't know your stuff, you just have a magnifying glass, yeah, you know, so, for me, um, I'm made for it, I'm made for it. Since my goal is for my life and my experience to be fuel for everyone's dreams, as you know, use it to learn, grow and evolve, and I'm not going to carry it with me anyway, so there it is. that people wouldn't expect you, as a movie star, to have to do uh, but recently you went to the DMV, yeah, I thought, "you know," I just haven't released a movie in a long time, so they said no, right?

You know? We, we are not going to leave you aside, we are not going to let you go, we

will

come down here. Your experience at the DMV was as unpleasant as ours. uh, no, they, I don't, they were actually really great, it was really, really simple, really, really easy, you know, because you. You have to take the photo and you have to take it in person and you have to take the fingerprint. I don't know if they do it in every state, but in California you have to do fingerprinting, but overall, yeah, overall it was smooth. easy and simple, got my DMV in there, uh, in and out in 12 minutes, it was fantastic.

W, that's certainly an advantage. I'm sure a quick Google search says his net worth is $350 million, that's actually accurate, um, I don't. I don't even know, man. No, I don't talk about those things. Do you ask someone who has had money, lost money, and then got it back bigger than you ever imagined? Does this lifestyle feel right for you now? You're still learning. Are you good with money now? Are you working to improve? What is your relationship with money like? No, this is the downsizing phase of my life, you know I was, you know, the first half of my life was getting together Get together, get together and the second half of my life will be, you know, I never understood how when you know you see people who will be rich and famous and you know they always have that moment around 50 where something changes and you know.

You look at Jim Carrey, it was like one of the most drastic public transformations, you know, in that way, um uh, but what happens is you realize that none of that can make you happy and you know that once you've bought into everything what you need. you want and there's literally nothing else on Earth that you want to buy yourself, you know, I just wish it was a gift that everyone could have because there's nothing the material can do to satisfy you, right? It's like drinking salt water, like you would. You'll never have enough, you'll just get thirstier and thirstier, so it's like that, you know I'm in that phase of My life, um, that can be scary when you realize that.

There is no relationship, there is no money, there are no children, there is literally nothing that can make you happy, that happiness is an internal, frontal and total contact with your Dark Night of the soul and you reconcile that you have to make happy here, you have to to make happy. Here without any of that stuff, damn it, you have to be happy with the people you love, you can't try to get it from them, you know? and it's like if you have to be happy to work, you're not going to be happy. of work and it's like that, you know, it's not for the faint of heart, yeah, there are some people on Earth that I even feel comfortable asking this question because I don't know if they would have the answer and you certainly don't. but you'll probably have something closer than me, uh, as someone who's studied a lot of religions, as someone who's done a lot of spiritual work, uh, what does Will Smith think is the meaning of life?

Well, that's that. that's a big deal um so even the concept of the meaning of life is your mind trying to fathom the unfathomable just sit here for 30 seconds right now look at me now look at yourself looking at me oh damn you finish it of doing. I'm trying, it's not easy, although you're right, that's where you'll find the meaning of life, that's where you'll find it, so whatever it is, when you can make peace with it, that's the meaning of life Damn, I'm listening. The shock that I think we have a special guest is that what's going on right now there's definitely definitely some SS in the house oh man B Bo original I felt this original Bad Boy Might in the building oh man what a treat we have here this is this is this is amazing uh this link even though it's Martin your sister is responsible for this link is like that, yeah, yeah, when uh columia came to see me for the first time, you know, with the script, uh, my sister told me that I should do it with Will Smith.

Martin wanted to do it with Eddie, yeah, first, you know, but he knew we couldn't get Edie, you know, he couldn't afford Eddie, you know, but Will was my sister who said, I think you should do it with Will. Smith and it was the best choice in the world, yes you feel like you definitely made the right decision because he is brilliant, I mean his mind and the way he orchestrates and directs the set and everything is equally brilliant, yeah well what ? What does it feel like to be in this seat next to your brother now?

Four movies in the can. Now four. No, you know what happens. It's like yeah, it's funny. So we were, we had like a rap party for the movie and we were all the old movies were on the screen, so wait, I was just watching the old movies and I like it. I really realized when you know we were doing bad boys one when we were doing bad boys two like I had it in my mind that I want to be the biggest movie star in the world. I want to do all this and I realized while you are planning your life and you think you are going somewhere, your life is really happening, your life is happening now.

It's not happening when you think it's going to happen and sitting and watching those movies I was like me, it was Martin and I were in Miami young and a little crazy free Wild and Free and it was like our lives were still perfect. my younger self couldn't see that I was already where I wanted to be, you know and it was really fun and in this movie, um, you know, Martin was really focused on paying attention to the fact that we're in a good life, yeah, and it was like, literally, in a good place, we're in a good place, you know, yeah, like the first day on set, you know, and I was like, hey, he said, he said, I just want you to know that I love you. your brother, oh man, yeah, I love it, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was like, yeah, yeah, love, love, he's like no, no, no, no, no, no, come here, you need, you need know, this is real, this is this, we won't do four for Nada, this is really very fast, bad guys for life though.

Amazing cameo, now we're in Miami. DJ Khed showed up because I heard a little rumor that he was. You know he had a quick scene. His scene lasted maybe two minutes. It's true? that khed uh would come to a set every day or long before he was supposed to be there to film his scene, caled was doing full method acting because no he was like a character walking onto the set and all that and i It was like he be yelling, yell at his Lin, he took it very seriously, he took it very seriously, he did it, yeah, no, but it's fun to have a set, yeah, shout out to Kelly, that's my brother , the last one here, I mean, you have been brothers. for so many years, uh, and you know the saying that people need to give each other flowers while they're still here.

I'm sure it's something you've done privately, but what does a guy like Martin mean to you? Martin is oh my heart and he's like he's not fake and he's one of the most vulnerable and open and honest people I've ever met working with that way and the way his heart is open like that. manner. I just love to protect him, yeah, look, he's going to make me cry, go ahead, let it flow, let it flow, Martin, what will it mean to you, he's just my brother, you know, he's my brother for life, you know , I love it, I love it. in pieces you know and uh you know I love the heart of him um I love the way he treats people um I love the respect of him um um and he's just the man yeah, he's the man, the man of made
