Will Smith Surprises Viral Video Classmates for Their Kindness

Hello. Hello how are you? How are you? I'm fine. Good. Alright, who's who? Which one are you? Kristopher. Kristopher. Michael Todd. Miguel. Antwain Antwain. Well, whose idea was it? It was my idea. Your idea. Yes ma'am. OK. You saw that...obviously this is the beginning of the school year. Yes ma'am. I just started. Did you know Miguel? No ma'am. I didn't know anything about Mike. No. You just... had you seen him being bullied or heard about it? So what happened was that we were in the same class. When school started the first week, I was still on a temporary schedule.

And they were making jokes about him. And I was laughing too. And then once I went home and thought about it, I wanted to apologize to Mike. But I wanted to give him something in the form of an apology. Good. Okay, so you talked to Antwain about this. And Antwain said: I want to participate. I want to help, right? Yes ma'am. OK. And how do they all know each other? We play soccer together. Play soccer together, it's okay. So you all are popular. Not precisely. Good. You play football. Alright. And then, Micheal, suddenly these two guys you don't know come up and decide to give you new clothes.

How did that feel? I was surprised, shocked, happy, trying to keep a straight face instead of showing my smile. It was the best day of my life, because I was bullied. Yes. I was bullied my whole life. So you were bullied your whole life and suddenly, out of nowhere, the

kindness

of these guys... and you really didn't want to film it. But someone, just because you didn't do this for attention, who filmed this? Well, some... well, we have a friend. He always has his phone with him, walks around and records things at school. He has seen us walking towards Micheal's third period class.

And he started... he said, what are you all doing? And we thought, we're... we're not going to say anything. We just pulled Michael out of class. Then people started leaving class. And 30 minutes later, we received the

video

. He had posted it on Facebook. I didn't expect it to go

viral

. I wanted it to make a difference, for people to stop harassing me. Well well. And so it was, because it was seen so many times by so many people, and that's why you are here. Because not only did I respond, a lot of celebrities saw this and were like, this is amazing.

We want to reward these guys and point this out, enlighten them. So umm Will Smith, come out. Hey! Oh hello. What's happening. Hello, Will. Elena. Hello, Will. Thank you. Thank you. Very good, Will. I can't wait to see the new movie. Oh, thank you, yes, yes. Gemini man...thank you. It's very cool. This is amazing. I'm trying to keep my voice normal. I saw the

video

. And Jada and I were sitting. It was like, that, that's fantastic. And there's no way I'm letting this go without making contact with these kids. And what you did seemed small to you.

But I promise you, this is exactly how human beings are supposed to interact with each other. And it's not, it's not more complicated than that. Someone is going through a difficult time and you help them. It's that easy. Yes, it doesn't matter if you know them or not. It doesn't matter if you know them. People... Everyone is suffering. You

will

not pass by a single person who is not going through a difficult time. And you saw that and decided to help. And the really big thing was the autocorrect too. You saw that you were laughing and that you were a part of it, and you stopped and corrected yourself.

Guys... That's big. --know everything. That's big, yeah, yeah. Is so big. Alright. Let's take a break. More after this. Kris is playing very well. He says this happens all the time. Yes. This is nothing important to me. I can't wait to get back to Memphis. I can't wait... That's right, yes. --as soon as I get home. Alright. So Will and I loved what you did, obviously. I can't thank you enough for being an example to all children and adults... Yes. -- who need to pay attention to help others. And Will has something for you. Yeah, just because it was about clothes and I thought it was cool.

So I just want you all to have some gear. I have a little bit of a few things here. What we have? We recovered it there. Get it out. I bought you some equipment. I brought you a couple of things. I bought them all a couple of things, yeah. Those are some interesting things. It is a... This is a special state-of-the-art material. It's not even out yet. So this is a line of merchandising that I'm doing. I'm making a secret delivery. Well, it's not a secret anymore. I just announced it. But I'm making a drop. So it's some special things.

And I also talked to the people at New Balance and this is an act of

kindness

that I don't want to be forgotten soon, right? So everyone at New Balance agreed that we're going to get equipment for everyone in

their

school, all 600 kids in

their

school. Alright. I know, yes. I also want to help. And you know I've had a long relationship with Shutterfly. Shutterfly loves what you did. Then each of you

will

receive a check for $10,000. Yes. Here you go, guys. There you go. I want to thank Wanda Sykes and Will Smith. Have a wonderful weekend.

Be kind to each other.
