y designed and perfected. to protect myself to hide from the world the life and career of our star today was most influenced by his family it was the family that made him Will Smith we all know his father Willard Carroll Smith, from whom today's star was born and raised in the tough, dirty streets of North Philadelphia in the 1940s, he grew up unsupervised, and as a teenager, Willard developed a sass and aggression that would haunt him for the rest of his life despite his hard work, wild energy, and sharp mind, his drive for self-destruction always took its toll after an incomplete education and unfinished service in the army Willard returned to Philadelphia found work in a metallurgical plant but because of his race he had to leave it and open his own business my father tormented me and He was also one of the greatest men I have ever known.

My father was violent, but he was also at every game and recital. He was an alcoholic but he was sober at every premiere of every one of my movies. He listened to every album he visited. Each Studio Smith's mother, Caroline Elaine Bright, was born and raised in Homewood, a

black

neighborhood on Pittsburgh's East Side. She was an honors student at Westinghouse Academy and one of the first black women at Carnegie Mellon University. My mother graduated from Carnegie Mellon and was very serious. about education and in her opinion, if you didn't have an education, you were dead, you know, yeah, you did it wrong, you can't survive in this world without an education, she was interested in business and always had her own money.

Caroline married her The first time she was 20 she gave birth to a daughter, Pam, and divorced less than three years later, wanting more from life, she packed up her things and moved in with her mother in Philadelphia. Will's parents met at a dance in the summer of 1964. Two years later they were married in Niagara Falls, the family moved into their mother-in-law's house and began developing the family business repairing refrigerators on September 25, 1968. They had their first child together, son Will. My mother says that from the moment I arrived, I was a talker who always smiled, barked and babbled, happy to simply make noise since the parents' work took a lot of time.

Grandma Gigi was raising her son. He had a huge porch. Smith remembers that she served as my front-row seat to the drama of North 54th Street. and a stage where she could join me in the theater, she left me on that porch and watched me chat with anyone and everyone who passed by even at that age. I loved having an audience when Will turned two. His parents recently bought his own house. a few miles from Gigi's house and a year later twins Harry and Ellen were born, including Caroline's eldest daughter, Pam, there were six people living under one roof at the same time that the father's business was flourishing and the family lived quite good.

My middle class upbringing contributed to the constant criticism I received early in my rap career. Smith says he wasn't a gangster or selling drugs. I grew up on a nice street and in a two-parent family. I went to a Catholic school with mostly white kids until I was 14. My mother had a university education and for all her adults my father put food on the table and would die before abandoning his children; However, Willard Sr., while drunk, often raised his hand toward his wife and children. Will's younger brother, Harry, always defended his mother. Sister Ellen hid and cried and decided that he would please everyone.

I was the entertainer of the family. I wanted to keep everything light, fun and happy. I should have been able to keep my father satisfied. I should have been able to protect my mother. He should have been able to make the family stable and happy. Constant fear throughout his childhood developed Will's keenest intuition, the ability to sense any emotion around him. He learned to feel anger, anticipate joy, and understand sadness on a much deeper level than most other children and the boy. He was very dreamy and often got lost in his imagination. These qualities later made him a talented actor and megastar in Hollywood.

Will's parents supported his passion for music as they made all their children learn to play the piano as their mother played it herself Harry played the saxophone and Will took drum lessons in high school, however the boy really liked Only the Piano. His most moving performance on the piano took place at the age of 11 at his grandmother's church when he played Morris Albert's Feelings. Gigi was delighted to hear her grandson's performance and the expression on her face is still hard for me to describe. Smith admitted the words pride or approval are pale and inadequate. All I can say is that I've been chasing that look in the eyes of every woman I've ever loved since I've never felt more certain of any woman's adoration for my entire career, my performances, my albums, it's all been a relentless, non-stop pursuit. to relive the delicious Purity I felt when I played Feelings at Resurrection Hall for my Gigi, after that we'll start performing all the time he did. he did skits for his parents he acted out moments from movies with friends he sang songs in church public speaking became his little Oasis of Happiness although Smith lived in an area where the majority of the population was black, however he attended Catholic school Our Lady of Lourdes with white children he never felt comfortable in any Catholic school, no matter how well spoken or intelligent I was, I was still the black boy from Winfield, no matter what was latest in music or fashion, I was never enough black at school or at home, his shield. he had a sense of humor when speaking in public and the classroom will was a typical clown the lack of respect hides numerous class suspensions in grades 7 and 8 not being invited to parties and school events the boy explained being a baptist in the catholic church and Also, his parents knew that it was the best school in the districts in terms of academic performance, so they insisted that their son be patient, but after Smith, a member of the football team, of the school was denied a front row seat at the awards ceremony and refused to accept the player of the year award on stage because of his skin color.

The parents' patients finally ran out. Will was transferred to Overbrook High School, a facility for black youth in West Philadelphia, which was nicknamed "The Castle on the Hill." school where a new Hip-Hop star was born, the incomparable Fresh Prince, Will was introduced to hip-hop culture by his cousin Paul, who moved with the Smiths in 1983 due to his problems with the law, the boys they became friends back then hip hop was Not what it is now, the star remembers there were a couple of hits but for the most part it was still underground, there were no albums or singles, no radio play or videos.

Paul's Bad Company in New York was helping him get the best hip-hop mixtapes. Will's idol at the time was Grandmaster Cass, who had the biggest influence on his later music career. He was the prototype of the fresh prince. He was one of hip-hop's first storytellers. Kaz was resourceful. He was inteligent. His verses took you on a journey. Single Girls' First Hit Is Nothing But Trouble was inspired by Grandmaster Yvette's freestyle mixtape. I'm not exactly sure when I became a rapper. Will said that back then hip hop wasn't something we did, it was what we were. Hip hop was not just our music, it was dance, it was fashion, street art, politics, social justice, it was everything, it was life, it was us, it was in school where Will started freestyling to the rhythm of his friend Clarence Holmes nicknamed Ready Rock C at night he rode and He memorized his own lyrics and during the day he joined rap battles showing everyone that he was the best some guys were more rhythmic and more poetic but he was the funniest no one could entertain the crowd better than him and the humor according to the star always won he was loved by everyone, both classmates and teachers for his way of making everyone laugh.

His favorite teacher, Miss Brown, jokingly nicknamed Smith Prince Charming in the 80s, the word fresh was popular among hip-hoppers meaning cool, so he decided to combine it with his nickname and choose Fresh Prince as his stage name. , I had no idea that soon this name would be all over the world during that time Smith met his first love at school, a girl named Melanie Parker, she had beautiful mahogany eyes and a spring smile that I would come to understand. she was painted over hidden layers of sadness. Melanie was a broken angel and from the moment I saw her I wanted nothing more than to take care of her, it was for Melanie's sake that Will, who dreamed of his own family since childhood, decided to become the most famous rapper and showman. more successful to secure their future together in the eleventh grade Smith joined the band The hypnotic MCS in hopes of becoming famous, however, the boys treated hip-hop more as a hobby and 16-year-old Will was not perceived as such. an equal at all, so after six months, Fresh Prince said goodbye to them and noted that my story was very different from the one told by the young black men who were launching the global phenomenon that would later become hip hop in their minds. illegitimate artist would call me cheesy soft hit a gum wrapper reviews that made me violently angry looking back I realize he may have been projecting a little at one of his girlfriend's parties he met The talented DJ Jeffrey Allen towns nicknamed DJ Jazzy Jeff The boy had a lot in common, so they became fast friends and decided to perform together, this is how the band DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince was born.

The young people were real workaholics, so they worked on music every day. Will would go to his friend's house after school. and they hung out in Jeff's basement or he had some kind of studio where we had done all the shows we could do at block parties, school dances, graduations, basement parties, birthdays, fundraisers, and parking lots. from churches, you name it, we did it, we had established a representative as a fun creative. Captivating party rockers also participated in the 1986 New Music Seminar, an annual MC DJ competition held in New York City, there DJ Jazzy Jeff received the title of King of the DJ World and Will Smith was first noticed Instead of not wanting to go to college after the festival victory the boys were invited to perform in clubs in Philadelphia Delaware and Atlantic City they also got their own manager James Lasseter an old friend of Jeff's nicknamed JL who took care of matters legal and organizational issues of the band once their music was heard by local businessman Dana Goodman, he was the younger brother of Lawrence Goodman, the founder of Pop Art Records, one of the first hip-hop labels to gain popularity in New York .

Dana was delighted with the boy's charisma and decided to sign a record contract with them. They recorded two singles together just one of those days and the girls are nothing but problems. After a while, the last composition became a hit on the radio on Fresh. Prince and Jazzy Jeff were finally recognized. Have you ever listened to their songs? Let us know. In the comments we would love to hear your opinion on Will's early work, this became the final argument for Will and the decision not to go to university, however, not everyone in the family was as supportive when I told him no. would go. to college because he wanted to rap, you know it wasn't like that, even though you're going to be Will Smith, yeah, yeah, she, she had no idea and you know, so my dad let me havea year to be able to have a year.

She tried to make rap music and after that she was going to have to go to university. The Young Artists recorded the first

full

-length album called Rock the House Us and went on tour in the United States where they performed as a warm-up for Public. Enemy and Two Live Crew, two of the most influential hip-hop bands in the country, were noticed by Russell Simmons, a well-known producer at the time, and the band came under his leadership, however, Dana Goodman still wanted full control. about the band on their record sales, so JL decided to do the following: he convinced Dana to sign a contract with the international company Jive Records that would later manage the careers of pop stars such as Britney Spears and Sync and Backstreet Boys and they promised to carry the band to the world.

In essence, Jive covered all expenses while Dana remained the source of income. He voluntarily signed said contract, received a large check and sold his international rights to Jive. The company immediately re-released Rock the House in March 1987 with a new cover and new sound and it became a huge worldwide hit. They began importing the same new version of the album to the US. Dana realized that he had chosen a one-time payment instead of regular payments and could not get anything from the imported records, therefore, he demanded more money and threatened to completely refuse to cooperate with Jive, a legal battle ensued, Smith said, and as soon as the lawyers began digging into our paperwork, they discovered that I was 17 when I signed the contract with Dana.

Under Pennsylvania law, anyone under the age of 18 cannot legally sign a contract without a parent or guardian present. I had signed mine in a studio lobby before a recording session. There are four in legal terms. Our contract with Dana never existed. Dana Goodman suffered the loss of such a profitable band and even wanted revenge on Will by coming to his house with a loaded gun. Will's father approached Dana and told her that he could shoot the whole family but they wouldn't let him hurt his son because they weren't there at all. He was afraid of him, Daddio immediately turned his back on a man who could have easily shot him and entered the house.

I'm not sure if it was his military training or his upbringing on the streets of North Philadelphia, but he taught me a valuable lesson that one day it's better to die than walk scared while things were going well in the band, their debut album rocked the house and their greatest hits are nothing but trouble went gold selling over 500,000 copies and eventually peaked at number 83 on the Billboard 200. The boys performed in almost 200 concerts and in the fall of 1987 they flew to London for the first time during six weeks to record their second album. The musicians recorded many songs and the producers liked them so much that they offered something that no one in the rap world had done before DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince released the world's first hip hop double album.

The boys had no idea what this album would mean to the industry. They didn't know if the fans wanted it. The people at MTV would like it to be played on the radio or condemned by the Hip-Hop Titans. They were only concerned with the creative process. The second album called He's the DJ I'm the Rapper was released in March. 29, 1988. The new funk song and parents simply do not understand where the main hits are, thanks to which the album rose to fourth place on the Billboard 200 and became three times platinum, as they sold more than 3 million do you copy. unavailable where Jeff completely butchered Wheels of Steel and the other half was the rapper side where I was allowed to let the hyper-creative poetic joy of my 19-year-old mind run wild at the 31st Annual Grammy Awards in his first rap. award DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince won the award for best rap performance for parents who just don't understand, making them the first rappers in the world to receive this award.

The boys boycotted the ceremony itself because the Music Academy hosts who presented the Grammys refused to broadcast the rap. Presenting awards on television, the band became innovative in many ways, they launched their MTV wrappers that broadcast hip hop on daytime television and Jeff were among the first to be broadcast live on daytime radio and Four Seasons, which at the time He didn't allow rappers to stay. in their hotels they changed their decision only after the president, when Russell Simons put the children up in his own room, now we will have the money and fame he had always dreamed of, bought his grandmother an apartment on the 16th floor overlooking the historic city center and he and his beloved Melanie moved into Gigi's old house the band launched a Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince hotline 1-900-909 Jeff was the first toll-free 900 number in history.

Premium phone numbers have become a revolutionary new way to connect with fans and in fact the precursor to modern social media, fans would call you to hear the idol's short daily messages about where they were and what they were doing. . At the peak of their popularity, they received around 5,000 calls a day, despite constant touring and lack of time for personal matters. life caused a crack in Melanie's will and relationship the last straw was the betrayal of her beloved the couple separated Smith took the breakup very hard he tried to drown his pain in the immeasurable expenditure of money since he had a lot and in promiscuity Sexual relations I had sexual relations with so many women and it was so constitutionally unpleasant to the core of my being that I developed a psychosomatic reaction to having an organism that literally made me gag and sometimes even vomit from grief.

He bought his first house. mansion overlooking Marion Park in a wealthy area beyond the City Line Bridge, as well as the entire parking lot, after six months of separation from Melanie, he decided to take her back, the couple moved again and now lived in a new house, but never They managed to restore a normal relationship during the same period He became involved with JBM a young Black Mafia who was involved in the sale of addictive substances They often played pool with Smith for money at his house This band was supposed to record their next album in a studio in the Bahamas, but instead the artists just spent two hundred thousand dollars on entertainment and girls and didn't make a single song.

The situation was saved by the band's manager, who called Willard Sr., came to the studio, watched the entire creative process and sent everyone home. The album and in this corner was released in October 1989 right on Halloween and the public received it with silence in a desperate attempt to save the situation at least somehow the band went on tour but everything was in vain and in this corner failed hard Smith He remembered that we were coming off 3 million albums sold, triple platinum sales in the first Grammy Award in the history of rap, the expectations and investments were very high and we crashed and burned at that moment we will start flying to Los Angeles where he met Tanya Moore, who later played a major role in his choice of life instead of recording new albums, the guys spent money but didn't earn it, then it turned out that they didn't even pay taxes.

Smith had to sell his entire house in the parking lot and finally end his relationship with Melanie during In one of the interviews on the local radio station WDAS FM, the band's former manager, Dana Goodman, entered the studio with another man, this one The latter began shouting during the recording that he should thank Dana for his popularity by slowly approaching the rapper, however, the star's bodyguard and his friend. Charlie blocked the stranger's path and seriously injured him, as a result, Smith and Charlie were imprisoned, you know, when they got into a fight at the radio station, you know, Charlie beat up a guy that landed me in jail, so the money He left, the car left.

I'm lying on the floor in a jail cell and I think they must be joking. I've wanted a Grammy for eight months, just like it's happening. The victim's attorneys filed a lawsuit specifically against Smith and not against his bodyguard. hoping to earn good money, however, when they discovered that the prince was bankrupt, this claim was rejected. Will was released from prison, but new problems awaited him at home. The FBI arrived after JBM the feds learned that the young rapper was in close contact with them. so they again threatened to imprison him Smith had no choice but to flee Los Angeles there he and Tanya Moore rented an apartment and began living together it was she who inspired Will to work on the next project that would change his life forever in one of the shows in Los Angeles Smith met Benny Medina who was Headhunter for the Warner Bros Records studio, he invited the young rapper to the birthday party of the famous producer Quincy Jones, the thing is that these two had the idea of ​​making a series about a poor relative who moved away. to live with a rich family in the luxurious Bel-Air area of ​​Los Angeles, they wanted Fresh Prince to be the protagonist and that's why they gave him the opportunity to audition in front of the guests at the party, which I don't remember much about.

The audition is a sort of blurry collage of jokes, laughs, jokes and improvisations Quincy and then Brandon Benny 20 magical minutes that culminate in innovation from the entire room at the same party where Smith's producers signed a deal to film the pilot formerly called The Fresh The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was delighted with this opportunity to prove himself. His new on-screen family became James Avery, whose approval the young actor sought for six years from Janet Hubert Whitton, who fought tirelessly for a respectful image of the black community on screen. Alfonso Ribeiro, who became his true friend and advised him to name his on-screen character Will Smith, Tatiana Ali, an 11-year-old girl who spent her adolescence on the set, and Karen Parsons, who rejected the relationship with Smith without spoiling the series, they also persuaded Jazzy Jeff to perform promisingly.

They would write another album together later, the character of Jeff became an audience favorite and he learned to love the acting process as well. His most memorable scene was when Uncle Phil kicked him out of the house during the filming of the pilot episode, no one knew. This part would get Smith's attention, he said, so we just had one shot of Jeff flying out of the house. The inside of the Bel Air mansion and the outside are two different locations and we only had a one day shoot at the outside location so I had to use the same shot of Jeff getting kicked out over and over again so every time When you see Jeff enter with the brown and white Aztec print shirt, you know he will be expelled in that scene.

The comedy premiered on September 10, 1990 and was an instant hit, debuting with the highest ratings of the season, five business days for the production of an episode on Monday the actors producers and writers sat down to read the script on Tuesday and Wednesday there were rehearsals the actors on stage tried to bring it to life Thursday in the woods was a technical day with light sound and setup camera and on Friday filming took place in front of a live audience. Friday nights on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air were like being at the hottest club in town. everyone who was anyone came to our recordings, the entire cast of the comedy could sing and dance, therefore, in the breaks between scenes, the audience was entertained with musical performances, the highlight was the band DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince, music education also helped. and in one of the famous scenes, Smith played Beethoven's Fur Elise on the piano, the set fell silent, the actor recalled when everyone realized that this show was about to be special, the point of the scene had been Never judging a book by its cover, the producers were so inspired by this moment of improvisation that they kept it and it became the defining thematic premise of the entire series.

Prince and Jeff returned to work on the fourth album, which was called Home Base, but now the music had to be done part-time compared to the evening. For Home Base's failed third album, they wrote twice as many songs in half the time and with a quarter of the same budget and those songs were much better and included Summertime, the only song they wrote from start to finish without editing or changing a single. Word, it was their first number one song on the Hot R B Hip-Hop chart and the number four song on the Billboard 100. The band filmed the music video at their home in Philadelphia with the participation of family and friends.

Here it is cool and slightly transformed. just a little break from the norm, I went platinum in two months and won an American Music Award and a second Grammy. The boys also boycotted this ceremony. I was sure we were going to lose, so I didn't pick Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince of Rap now had two Grammys and I still hadn't shown up anywhere near the awards show at the same time as the success ofthe chain grew. Like a student in life he prepared for each series with all seriousness, he studied the lines obsessively and was so afraid of making a mistake, he memorized the entire script, not only his words but also those of others, so during the filming he unconsciously moved his lips towards the camera at the same time as other actors in episode 5 of the first season during the dialogue between the Prince and Ice Tray, it is clearly visible that Will silently pronounces the lines of the friend, so you are too a disadvantaged young man from the inner city.

He heard it, of course, colleagues on set pointed out his mistake to the rapper and he tried not to repeat it. Again, however, Smith's recognition as a true actor came later in the episode called Papa's Got a Brand New excuse or the always cheerful Will showed his dramatic side, you know, Uncle Phil, I'll finish college without him, I'll get a great job without him I will marry me, a beautiful honey and I will have a lot of children. I'll be a better father than him ever and I'm sure I don't need them for that because he's not a Damn, he could ever teach me how to love my kids, how come you don't love me?

The abandoned son's monologue prompted Uncle Phil's on-screen actor, James Avery, to whisper to his young colleague at the end of the scene, You're here now. One day an actor, a young woman, came to audition for the role of the Prince's new girlfriend. She did not sue the producers because of her small stature. However, Smith really liked the young actress. It was Jada Pinkett. At that time, she had already broken up. with his girlfriend Tanya Moore and was looking for new adventures, he snuck onto the set where Jada was filming the comedy A Different World in hopes of meeting her, instead he talked to the girl sitting next to him in the audience Smith and Pinkett didn't They could talk.

That night, while returning home with Cherise and Pino, a cute stranger managed to make her laugh and three months later made her his first wife. Willard Carroll Smith III was born on November 11, 1992. The couple called him Trey from birth because he was the third Willard Smith In The Family the famous song Just the Two of Us was a father's dedication to bring his son back to to be popular and be given a second chance in life Will Smith did not want to risk his future anymore, he understood that job on television perfectly. The series was not Eternal and that's why he started looking for parts.

In the movies, Will saw his main goal in life as becoming the biggest movie star in the world. To achieve this, his manager JL began reading hundreds of scripts and considering auditions for various roles. The actor was offered to star in the film Eight Heads in a Duffle Bag. and a fair salary of $10 million, but an instinct told Will to turn down the role and instead play a supporting role for just three hundred thousand in the Pulitzer Prize-nominated adaptation of John Guère's Six Degrees of Separation, in which a young con man Paul Poitier gained the trust of a rich couple and fell in love with the housewife played by the Charming star.

Dr. Channing Smith took his first role on the big screen too seriously and moved his family to New York, where the film was filmed with the actor. She decided to try the method which was a total immersion in his character, as a result she became so confused that she no longer understood where Will ended and Paul began to destroy his relationship with his young wife and shortly after the couple filed for divorce. , Cherie and me. "We were in the early months of our marriage with a new baby," the actor recalled, and I can sure imagine that this experience was unsettling, to say the least; she had married a guy named Will Smith and was now living with a guy named Paul Poitier and to make matters worse during filming, I didn't fall so hard for the stalker Channing, but as Paul I couldn't get him away from this idiot.

Chapman who shot John Lennon said he did it because he wanted to get the world's attention. The catcher in the rye and reading this book would be his defense, young Hinckley. The kid Wiz who shot Reagan and his press secretary said if you want my defense, all you have to do is read, catch her in the rye, when Will and his family came back. to Los Angeles he was not himself everyone who worked on the series was also shocked by the internal changes the actor could not remember how the Prince walked, spoke and behaved lasted 10 full episodes at the beginning of the fourth season Smith lost consciousness of humor, coldness, charisma and ability to improvise.

I immediately hired five or six of my friends from Philly to work on the team's writing staff and to surround me on set while I relearned how to play. Did it work? Fresh Prince became himself again and never used this method again in his life in late 1993. Six Degrees of Separation hit the big screen and received high praise from critics. Critics praised the unexpected casting of Will Smith in the role of Paul. From that moment on he was considered a serious actor. and Will, while still married, eventually met Jada Pinkett and after their divorce in December 1995, she officially became his girlfriend.

Will's next step was a tandem with Martin Lawrence and the action comedy Bad Boys. Martin himself contacted Will and offered to read a script for two. Miami cops who needed to switch roles to solve a crime, one of them was married with children, the other was a rich Playboy, a newly arrived clip maker, Michael Bay, who had never worked in movies before, was hired as director at the first joint reading of the script. The producers were disappointed by the characters' primitive lines and the newspapers went into the trash. You would think that a big Hollywood producer throwing a script in the trash three weeks before filming would be unsettling for two young actors and a director who had never made a film before but the opposite happened due to his extensive experience with video clips.

Michael was used to unexpected obstacles. The money was never enough. Time was always short and he constantly had to improvise. Will and Martin were from the television world, so they were used. To come up with lines right on stage, they were brought scripts five minutes before filming and the whole time they had to change the dialogue and lines so that they had spark. The fact that one of the producers threw out the script only inspired the actors who filmed. The film day and night they prepared for the next day of filming, there was such incredible chemistry between Will and Martin that the latter at some point stopped worrying about the dialogue because the actors were constantly improvising on the set, think that you were going to me to film. for a minute I was in.

The entire process of filming Bad Boys was an extremely educational experience, although everything was done chaotically and randomly, the director also had Smith, who gained 11 pounds of muscle for the role, appear almost bare-chested. for the first time in the movie. for the same scene where his hero ran after the car with his shirt unbuttoned, he prepared for four months with a coach from the University of California throughout my childhood, I hated how actors ran in movies and I promised myself that the first time I ran in front of the camera was going to look like Carl Lewis.

He had trained high knees, high elbows for four months. He was ready. The scene was shot in a single take and the director was delighted. With her, Bad Boys was released in theaters in 1995. The success was not overwhelming but quite good. It was at the premiere that Smith heard for the first time how one of the spectators admired his naked torso. It was the first time I experienced a woman having a sexual reaction to my madness. Smith remembered until that moment. in my life I had used comedy to attract women and now I was being objectified, it was wonderful, everything I could think was right, Michael Bay, you were right, I was wrong, thank you from that moment on, directors had to argue with me to keep my shirt on.

In the same year, filming began on the final sixth season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. There was talk of continuing the series, but one of the guest stars, John Amos, advised Will not to accept and ended the series on a high note. next week. Smith gathered the entire cast of the series and told them that the sixth season would be the last. The final episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air aired on May 20, 1996. The hour-long finale was the most emotional week of filming in Will's life. career and it was a decent farewell to his television family the same year the

legend

ary Ronald Emmerich-directed movie Independence Day about an alien invasion was released.

The idea for the plot came to Emmerich when he and Dean Devlin speculated about the existence of extraterrestrial life in In 1994, while working on Stargate, one of the journalists asked the director why he had made such a film if he himself did not believed in the existence of extraterrestrial life. Emmerich responded by saying that he was still fascinated by the idea of ​​aliens coming to Earth and then asked his reporter how he would feel if he woke up one morning and found giant alien spaceships hovering over every major city on the planet after Ronald returned to Devlin and said that he seemed to have an idea of ​​what his next film about the US would be.

The army initially agreed to help the film's authors with permission to film on military bases. Consulting with actors playing soldiers, etc., but after learning that the film would contain references to Area 51, they withdrew their permission. Smith was cast in the lead role after her role. In Six Degrees of Separation, with a budget of 75 million dollars, Independence Day grossed 306 million dollars in the United States alone, in May 1996 the Planet Hollywood themed restaurant opened in Sydney, three world megastars, Schwarzenegger Stallone and Willis, invested in him. Smith was also invited to the There, at the opening ceremony, the actor asked his colleagues the question that interested him most at the time: what you have to do to become the biggest movie star in the world, to which Arnold answered: you are not a movie star if your movies are only successful in the United States, you are not a movie star until every person in every country on Earth knows who you are, you have to travel the world.

Shake every hand, kiss every baby, think of yourself as a politician running to be the biggest movie star in the world and then admit that the night Arnold had given him the key that would become his secret weapon. Over the next two decades, he realized that the film's success depended on the global box office. He and JL did the math and realized that a film could generate, say, only 10 million in Spain. He would easily make between $15 and $25 million if he got there in person. If only the premiere would talk to the press and schedule a couple of meetings with fans.

It also wouldn't hurt to learn a few phrases in the local language and say them on the news. Multiply that by 30 and traveling to different countries would effectively double the global box office potential. The actor decided to verify this discovery in Emrick's film. He flew to Europe. He gave interviews. He held premieres and signed autographs. This approach caused an incredible result a month after the start. of distribution in the world Independence Day became the most expensive film in history its income exceeded 817 million dollars I had gone from being poor to rich to ruin without acting experience to starring in the highest grossing film in the world and only had 27 years old between filming we will spend all his time with Jada they got engaged but the woman did not rush to get married the actress did not believe in traditional marriage and disliked the conventional wedding instead she dreamed of a simple but unusual ceremony She imagined herself at the top of a mountain in a white dress alone with Will, no priest, no family, no witnesses, just two of them and God Smith, on the other hand, was partial to taking traditional vows in front of friends and family.

Jada's mother, Gammy, was on her side after finding out that her daughter was already pregnant with her first child, and she became her traditional wedding planner. The ceremony took place at a historic castle in suburban Baltimore on New Year's Eve. About a hundred family and friends attended the ceremony. The couple said that they made their vows in front of the priest and officially registered their marriage and six months later the newlyweds had a boy named Jaden Christopher, Father Smith, however, a year before this wonderful event in the life of The young couple got the script for Another Science Fiction. film about a secret office that regulates, monitors and controls the activities of aliens on planet Earth, of course, we are talking about Men in Black.

Director Barry Sonnenfeld wanted Smith for this role, Will did not even need to participate in the audition, he was immediately invited to the role, the actor read the script that same night, withoutHowever, he was worried that this would be the second consecutive movie about aliens, he thought it would be too much like Independence Day and due to the fact that the latter was a huge success, there was a fear that the movie would be less successful, he it seemed like it would be a lateral move at best. Bad Boys was a buddy cop movie. Independence Day was an alien movie and this new script was an alien buddy cop movie after consulting with His manager JL Smith turned down this role, but film producer Steven Spielberg was in no hurry to give up.

He invited the actor to his home in the Hamptons, introduced him to the director, explained the concept of the film and finally convinced him to participate in the project. Tommy Lee Jones became Smith's on-screen partner. Seat belt for the passenger. Look, now we have to work on your interpersonal skills. You know you get a much better reaction if you are a little more polite. Fasten your seat belt. Please, that was fine when filming started. The script was not yet finished, which caused delays in the filming process, as some scenes had to be reshot later to match the script.

Men in Black was released on July 2, 1997, exactly one year after Independence Day, the date was not chosen by Chance, the fact was that the days around July 4 were always considered the most desirable release date. of the year. The studios were trying to release their promising movies at this time, since it was a long weekend, people were willing to go to the movies every day, which meant that the box office could be double or triple compared. With any other week Will Smith couldn't help but take advantage of that opportunity. I decided I wanted to publicly lean on the pressure in all my press interviews.

I started referring to the 4th of July weekend as Willy's big weekend. He remembered this phrase made all the headlines in Britain. The joke came out with a double meaning. The word Willie was slang for male genitalia. Additionally, Smith recorded the band. sound from the album with the same title Men In Black which was included on his debut solo album Big Willie Style this album is in the top 10 of the US Billboard 200 and went platinum nine times the symbiotic relationship between the song of the film and music video was a perfect promotional storm the song functions as a massive radio promo for the film that is essentially free the music video acts as a trailer for the film and the film sends fans to buy the album and request the song and the video.

Big Willy's weekend was simply Sky High Men In Black grossed 51 million in the first three days of release in the United States alone. the global box office eventually exceeded $600 million the soundtrack had a circulation of more than 5 million copies to make even more money he will release the Big Willy-style album that sold more than 12 million copies worldwide this is how will turn out to be the most successful actor according to the results of a survey of film industry professionals and the rating of stars capable of financing successful projects at the box office, attractiveness to different target audiences and the influence of other factors, he was the only one of all in receive 10 out of 10 Points and Jeff Blake, president of global marketing and distribution for Columbia Pictures, told the New York Times that we can say with confidence that Will Smith now owns the Fourth of July weekend and since then the actor has officially and unanimously become one of the most important movie stars in the world.

In 1998, Smith starred in Tony Scott's political action thriller Enemy of the State as attorney Robert Dean. The film grossed $250.8 million at the worldwide box office and received positive reviews from film critics, with many praising the script and direction, as well as the actor's performance. Year later, we will reject Neo's role in The Matrix in favor of the film Wild Wild West despite criticism of the film. Smith said that he does not regret his decision stating that Keanu Reeves' performance as Nia was better than what he would have achieved and that The film's main soundtrack, Wild Wild West, topped the Billboard Hot 100.

It became the lead single from the album Willenium, which peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 and went double Platinum during the filming of Wild Wild West. The Smiths had a confusing family moment, Will and his brother Harry decided to fulfill his mother's dream and bought her a farm in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. Searching through old boxes during the move, his mother found unsigned divorce papers. Almost 20 years ago, she and Will's father went through the whole process, but for some reason they didn't do it. She did not sign the final documents. Caroline had no idea that she was technically still married, so she signed the documents and presented them to the court.

When he reviewed the documents, it turned out that Willard Sr. was obligated to pay child support to his ex-wife during these years with interest and fine was about one hundred and forty thousand dollars. The mother strongly insisted on paying the full amount but her ex-husband would not. So Will came to the rescue by secretly transferring the required amount to his father's account. This made me the first person in the history of Pennsylvania to pay his own child support. When Mom Mom discovered that I had paid Daddio's debt, she got angry and immediately wrote me a check for 140,000, making her the first person in Pennsylvania history to pay her own child back the back support they had paid themselves on Halloween 2000 the Smith family had a baby girl Willow shortly after her birth bought a 103-acre ranch 45 minutes northwest of Los Angeles there were five houses and stables on the lake Rich flora and fauna of the territory, the actor recalled that a beautiful doe approached the front door on my first tour.

I took it as a sign that I loved her. I had the perfect wife, three beautiful children, and I was the undisputed biggest movie star in the world. The last triumphant touch in my lifelong Dreamscape would be his lake, a house with a name, however, the wife did not like the house, she did not want to be alone most of the time on a large ranch with children and a lot people watching The entire farm, however, she endured her husband's extravagant purchase, she will later regret not having listened to Jada in her book. Did she write to all my young readers? your wife doesn't want you to be making a down payment to Discord and for years you will be paying a mortgage of misery the following year director Michael Mann invited the actor to star in a biopic of Muhammad Ali Willow had many doubts that he could play this personality

legend

that he had never boxed before in his life, did not have enough muscle mass and was afraid that his game would disappoint both Ali and his fans around the world, so Muhammad called the actor and offered to meet for this meeting with Smith.

He went to Las Vegas where he met the living legend of the sport and his family. She drew attention to the fact that they both have a similar sense of humor. They felt incredibly comfortable in each other's company. Ali was a big kid just like Will and his heart was open. So many aspects of his life have been chronicled for so many years that everyone feels like we know the story, you feel like you know Muhammad Ali, you've seen him be funny, you've seen him angry, you've seen the full spectrum of emotions that any filmmaker would try to capture, You've seen it all, so my question was what are we going to show, what are we going to put in a movie that will be interesting and that people haven't seen. already and then after meeting Ali and the first time we met he told me that she was almost pretty enough after this meeting he decided to agree to participate in the project.

Director Mann took charge of the entire organization of the filming process and studied everything related to it. For Ali he assembled a team of world-class teachers and trainers, managed the schedule and surrounded Smith with people close to the boxer, the director also independently chose the clothes, assembled the cast and even compiled a music playlist for the main star. To obey, he was introduced to trainer Daryl Foster, who taught him unboxing and gave the actor the necessary physical shape. Smith was delighted with the coach. Daryl's training style is full immersion, he doesn't ask anyone to do anything he wouldn't do again. the following year he ran every mile he jumped every rope he lifted every weight he sparred so many rounds every moment of training by my side he ate when I ate he slept when I slept he worked when I worked they also took real professionals from the boxing world to play Ali's Rivals, they were They were the ones Smith improved his skills with, however, for the first three months he trained only with Daryl, in addition to Michael Mann, he brought in a neuroscientist to help him build new neural connections in the brain.

The scientists looped a 20-minute video of Ali's typical leg and arm movements twice a day. He sat in a dark room and watched this video, staring at the same movements until they became ingrained in his brain. Now, in the mirror, the actor began to remember Muhammad. Ali had 220 pounds of muscle and could lift the barbell that weighed 365 pounds. The champion is here ladies and gentlemen. The world heavyweight champion has reached a year of training in five months of filming. Ali was the most mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting. The test of my entire career, but also the most transformative will.

I remembered ironically. The most difficult fight of Ali's career turned out to be the most difficult scene to film. It took two weeks. Michael Mann remodeled an entire stadium and hired more than 20,000 extras to fill the Due to the lighting and humidity, the temperature in the ring exceeded 104 degrees Fahrenheit, so after the first day of filming, Smith lost 10 pounds, The boxing camp spirit and support became practically a habit among the film crew, everyone started running five miles early in the morning everyone trained in the hall everyone ate properly everyone read, learned and offered new ideas everyone They lived according to the routine to strive for a better version of themselves.

This joint mission whose purpose was to tell the story of Muhammad Ali formed a qualitatively new way. The life of the group, which lasted long after the end of filming, Ali gave to the star earned her first Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, thus justifying her new lifestyle in 2002, after a four-year break from music. Smith returned with his third album Born to Reign, which reached number 13 on the Billboard 200 and went gold, the lead single was a song from the movie Men in Black 2 called Black Suits, which came with Nodge, which reached number three on the UK Singles Chart later that year.

Smith's first compilation album, Greatest Hits, was released with songs. From his three solo albums, as well as songs produced with DJ Jazzy Jeff, the following year Smith returned with the second part of Bad Boys together with Martin Lawrence. Many special effects were used in the film, however, there were also real locations, for example, the underground. The morgue of a real-life Cuban villain was a dairy with a false facade. The Blown Up Mansion in Cuba was not a pavilion but a real house in Florida sold by its owner specifically for the film despite receiving generally negative reviews from critics. a huge box office success grossing $270 million worldwide for the role of President Smith's cop was the 2035 cop starring in the sci-fi action film iRobot directed by Alex Proyas his character Detective Spooner who hated humanity's new metal helpers. investigated a murder case in which a robot turned out to be involved the film was based on the collection of stories by Isaac Asimov at first the script had nothing to do with the work of the famous American fiction writer however after the script initial reached the director and the rights to the film were purchased, the producers decided to finalize the plot by combining Azimob's original story with an already developed script with the working title wired into this film for the first time in his career.

Smith appeared completely naked in one of the scenes, you know, I was. I was, you know, I saw Brad Pitt in Troy, you know, and you know Brad Pitt is 40 years old. You know, I felt bad. I thought, you know he's 40 and you know I'm 35 and he's in better shape than me, you know, so I had to hurry up and recover and get in shape, but you know every great actor needs a nude scene. An Audi RSQ concept car was also developed specifically for the film and was used as Spooner's car. in 2035. The company's bosses liked the new model so much that they decided to mass produce it, despite criticismmixed, the film was a box office success and became another victory for the actor.

In 2004, Smith voiced the ambitious fish Oscar, which accidentally became the Shark Storm and the animated film Shark Tale, the worldwide box office of almost $375 million made everyone talk about Will's Lucky Star again during this run my team was on fire no one moved how we moved people in Hollywood were trying to figure out how we managed to be so productive and so successful so consistently in 2005 Smith tried himself in the role of Alex Hitchens, a professional comedy dating guru romantic His character made a living teaching men how to woo women, but one day something went wrong and made Alex change. his perspective on love and business Will's colleagues on the set were Kevin James and Eva Mendes whose character would be played by Jennifer Lopez by the way if you want a video about this fiery singer or someone else write to us in the comments we are open to suggestions for the film was received very warmly by the public and is even now included in several top romantic comedies, at the same time Smith's musical career did not stop.

His last album Lost and Found was released in 2005 and reached number six on the billboard. 200 with lead single Switch reaching the top 10 of both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart that same year Smith was included in the Guinness Book of World Records for attending three premieres in 24 hours The actor was on fire He had some of the best successes in Hollywood history, he worked 70 to 80 hours a week, holidays, weekends, even vacations were his opportunities for advancement. Smith spent entire days preparing for the next role, rewriting the script or reading books and seeing friends from time to time hosting elegant Christmas and New Year celebrations.

Because Jada and her children were able to invite all their friends and family to a week of fun in the mountains and they will not forget a minute of work, they will take advantage of this time to make deals with business partners who will also be taken to the resorts. skiing with all expenses paid. the star did not consider himself a talented actor explained the secret of his success as follows while the other eats I work while the other sleeps I am working while the other makes love well, I'm making love Smith first appeared on the set with his son Jaden when the boy overheard his phone conversation with Italian director Gabrielle Machino about the upcoming project and asked his father. to let him be a part of this, the choice fell on Gabrielle after watching her movie The Last Kiss, although Machina did not speak English and their first meeting almost turned out to be a disaster, the director's phrase thrown during the conversation finally made Smith decide .

He said that if you don't choose me to direct this movie, please don't choose an American filmmaker because Americans don't understand the beauty of the American dream. After these words, Will and his manager JL had no doubts and Michina was entrusted with the direction. . work on the project because of the way the film's plot came to Jail's mind when he saw a story about a man named Chris Gardner on the news. At first he was homeless and lived on the streets of San Francisco with his young son and later became successful. stockbroker, this was the true path of the hero and therefore Smith voluntarily agreed to transfer this incredible story to the big screen.

Green Gabrielle could not find the perfect actor for the role of Gardner's son. She had rejected 500 boys before Will and Jada decided to accept Jaden. At an audition, Muccino was delighted with the kit, but the studio decided that this would be the film's biggest failure. They thought that people wouldn't be able to follow the plot if a Hollywood star and her six-year-old son played the father in the film. screen. and son were also afraid that the public would think it was nepotism and put themselves in a bad position from the beginning, but Gabrielle insisted that the studio agree to audition Will and Jaden to test compatibility.

What does that say on the back of your bag? My nickname. We picked nicknames, oh yeah, what would you say, hot rod? As a result, the boy was invited to audition up to nine times. It was an unprecedented case, at each audition he appeared in all his innocent six-year-old glory and proved that he was a perfect fit for the role, but after the ninth audition the studio appointed a tenth. Jada lost patience and notified Gabrielle at the studio that Jaden was no longer available for the role, at which point the director decided that he couldn't make the film without Jaden. the studio relented and finally offered the boy the role of Christopher Jr. to me this was perfection on the set at work with my son this was how I wanted to be a father on the battlefield of life Real stakes real results real hunt It could correct mistakes in real time and could teach in real-life scenarios: This is How I Define Parental Love, The Pursuit of Happiness, was released in 2006.

It was a box office and critical success that earned it its second Oscar nomination. If before I felt invincible and now I really felt it. I just made a movie about a homeless black man who gets a job in the '80s and it still crushed all the other movies, The Box. Office That season could not be missed on December 10, 2007 Smith was honored at Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard left this hand and Footprints outside the theater in front of many fans later that month Smith appeared on the big screen in I Am Legend the The script was based on Richard Matheson's novel The Project and could have appeared already in the 90s, then Arnold Schwarzenegger claimed the main role of the reclusive Robert Neville, one of those who remained alive in the post-apocalyptic world and Ridley was supposed to Scott would be the director, however, after the estimated future budget grew to incredible proportions both considered it better to participate in other promising projects, in the end Francis Lawrence became the director of the film.

Producer Akiva Goldsmen decided to move the location of the film. film from Los Angeles to New York to further enhance the feelings of emptiness because he said that New York is never empty as it was impossible to film in a busy square the filmmaker filmed Will Smith in his studio using a blue screen there were no decorations except of a small cabin and grass spread on the studio floor more than a thousand extras and various military equipment participated in the filming of the Brooklyn Bridge scenes. They were shot over six days and cost the studio about $5 million.

Not a single person you or I have ever met is dead, dead, there is no God. In the film a couple of hidden messages were left for Smith's fans, for example, throughout the film, his character sang the song Three Little Birds by Bob Marley, he also sang it as a little Oscar in Shark Tale and when Robert was attacked by zombies, drove over the same bridge that his character Agent J jumped off in Men In Black, the negative reviews were not reflected at all at the global box office. I Am Legend became the highest-grossing December movie in history.

It was a movie that featured me on screen with just a dog. and grossed around $600 million. The actor said the film's commercial success demonstrated Smith's top position at the Hollywood box office and in December 2008 TV Guide named him one of the 10 most attractive people in America next. film in the star's collection was the Blockbuster superhero Hancock based on the script by Vince Gilligan the creator of the famous series Breaking Bad the script of the film passed from one studio to another for 10 years but no one dared to bring it to life during this time many famous actors were considered for the lead role among them was George Clooney Ben Affleck Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio after several script rewrites and personnel reorganizations Peter Berg became the director of the film Smith's colleagues on the set were Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman I hate to bust your crazy little sissy, but it must It hasn't been that great because I can't remember, call me crazy one more time originally the movie was going to be called Tonight, He's Coming, then it was renamed John Hancock and then was shortened to Hancock, the main character's name appeared due to an error. in the original character of Will Smith explained that when he woke up in the hospital a nurse told him to put John Hancock on one of the papers, the fact is that John Hancock was an American congressman who gained great popularity for a particularly large signature placed underneath of the United States Declaration of Independence later its name became nominal and meant a person's signature.

The film was screened at a US military base in the Middle East a week before its US release. Despite mixed reviews from critics for both the plot and Smith's performance, the story about the drunken superhero grossed over $600 million. dollars in just six months after the success of I Am Legend, it was the era of Will Smith, but wealth, popularity and undeniable love from fans still couldn't fill the void of the actor who was trying to fill an internal emotional void. with external material achievements he will remember it in his Memoirs. Ultimately, this type of obsession is insatiable.

The more you get, the more you want all the time, without ever scratching the itch, you end up with a mind. consumed by what he does not have and what he did not get and in a spiral of inability to enjoy what he has, however, the entire world thought that fortune smiled on Smith, his family was considered exemplary, he was the most famous movie star. biggest in the world. Karate Kid, the first feature film starring Jaden, grossed almost $360 million at the global box office. The first season of Jada's new series has just aired. Hawthorne. Willow has signed a contract with Roc Nation to record her first album.

Trey was the star of her high. The school football team and the ex-wife along with the current one co-raised all of the younger Smiths, however, the truth about Will's emptiness remained unknown to the public and until now the drama Seven Pounds has been released, plus director Gabrielle Machino and at least the lead actor. Another 30 people who previously worked on The Pursuit of Happiness participated in the Create Nation film, including actors and crew members. This drama raised the question of time for each person on the path to Redemption. There are some sins really so big that they simply cannot be cleansed.

Is self-sacrifice justified and what will happen to the most valuable gift and to the person who dares to accept it? Despite the deep content and great plot, the film received generally negative reviews from critics. Todd McCarthy of Variety described the film as an endlessly sentimental fable. about sacrificing Redemption that aims only at the heart at the expense of the head and what do you think of this film, we liked it a lot and write your impressions in the comments we want to find like-minded people in 2012 Smith reappeared on the big screen as Agent J in Men In Black 3.

After the film's release, Will was glad to have finished his work on the franchise, saying, "I think three is enough for me, three of anything is enough for me, we'll see and do it." Think about it, but it seems like maybe it's time to let someone else do it. Men in Black 3 was released 10 years after the second part grossed more than $624 million worldwide adjusted for inflation and became the highest-grossing film in the famous franchise, however, despite the success of Will in the movies, his family little by little began to fall apart to avoid this, the actor decided that they needed a family project, so the idea arose to film the movie After Earth was Born, which was supposed to reestablish their connection.

One day Smith saw the program. should not be alive about terrible mortal experiences and unbelievable situations where people were on the verge of death one of the stories was about a father and son who got lost in the desert far from civilization, one father was injured afterwards of an accident and his teenage son My son had to walk alone for miles to find help and save his father As I watched the actor, I remembered that I kept imagining myself hurt and helpless and Jaden climbing through the desert trying to reach civilization to save me. The scenario is etched in my mind. - story of a young man who tries to save his father, the idea was transformed into a film, it would also be about a father who learns to trust and depend on a son, it would be a metaphor, a means to heal their relationship, he sent the episode I shouldn't be alive for M Night Shyamalan who really liked it and also thought it could make a good movie.

Filming took place in Utah, Costa Rica and Philadelphia. He never worked on a movie in his hometown before he agreed to teach Jada's brother. CalebPinkett how to develop scripts because he was very good at history and historians generally find it easy to write plots and characters. Smith considered him an ideal student. Will's manager, JL, did not share his optimism about the film. He didn't like the script at all. Apart from the idea itself, as well as the time chosen for filming, Will didn't care, he thought only of his family and was determined to surround Jaden with love and comfort.

It was hot in Costa Rica, so Smith ordered huge air-conditioned tents. everywhere so Jaden could rest between scenes, play ping pong, eat, and listen to music. Thanks to this, Jaden felt the support she needed and on the set of After Earth, Father and Son really grew closer, but not for long. After Earth was a magical bond. experience for Jaden and me he was a newly arrived teenager the mythological moment was perfect I had managed to illustrate the depth of My loving concern but the honeymoon of the Father and the Son was short-lived After the Earth was at an abysmal box office in a critical failure and what was worst was that Jaden took the hit.

Jaden had faithfully done everything he had ordered him to do, which was why he wasn't going to do this bird tonight. Jaden had faithfully done everything he had ordered him to do and I had trained him for the worst. The public beating he had once experienced after such criticism, the relationship between father and son cracked and relations with the family did not improve either. It was at this time that Jada was supposed to celebrate his birthday to please his beloved wife. Smith decided to put on a real show I love planning events, orchestrating shows and emotions in my mind the sum total of a happy life is the quality of your memory so I am always looking for the most vivid memory I can create as a child Jada had a very close relationship.

Unfortunately, her grandmother passed away a few years before her granddaughter's 40th birthday. He secretly contacted Jada's aunt, who was in charge of her family archives. She saved photos, videos and letters, as well as audio tapes in which Jada's grandmother recorded her thoughts in recent weeks. of his life, no one in the family has heard them yet, they would become Will's greatest gift for Jada's birthday, so he decided to make a short documentary about his life and hired a team of researchers to study Jada's genealogy. her family and trace her grandmother's lineage. to the time of slavery then he found a director who compiled the information and made the film however according to the star it was not enough, the thing is that jadel liked the city of Santa Fe and New Mexico and the artists there, so That Smith decided to make a surprise and spent a three day weekend there, bought an entire hotel in town where he invited dozens of his closest friends and family every night, they were supposed to have a big family dinner and then everyone got a surprise on Friday night. there was a closed art show on Saturday morning there was a spiritual adventure a hike to Picacho Peak National Park other than that the husband invited Jada's favorite artists to paint for them and give master classes for the whole family and the best of the weekend would be watching a documentary about Jada, everyone really enjoyed their stay in Santa Fe the first two days, however, during Jada's presentation of the documentary to the guests, when everyone heard their grandmother's voice, they stayed Silently, the old woman's words were directed to specific members of the family, many of whom were present.

There, for the first time since her grandmother's death, Jada heard her voice. She had watched the video hundreds of times at this point, so she was just watching Jada. The whole place is crying. Her family. My family. Everyone except Jada, she sat motionless refusing to do. eye contact with me returning to the hotel room the birthday girl asked to cancel the celebration afterwards the argument turned into a real fight until Willow ran into the room and convinced everyone to calm down after this incident the couple decided to take a break of his relationship and wanted to spend a couple of weeks alone, without television, without telephone, without people or conversations, he went to his house in the mountains of Utah, far from civilization, the actor arranged to have food delivered to his door without any human contact for 14 days.

He didn't talk to anyone, he left the house only to go for a morning walk and the rest of the time he stayed in the house, this experience made the star take a good look at himself and understand why he couldn't save his family in the following years in the that Smith participated.

The actor said that he had doubts about the film at the beginning of production. Some of my happiest memories are watching my son catch and throw a soccer ball. He didn't want to be the guy who made a movie saying that football can be dangerous, however, the doubts disappeared when he met Omala, whose words about American ideals touched the star to the core. The movie is called Concussion, but it's actually about much more than that, it's really about a man who was committed to the truth and, through his faith in his God, was able to improve people's lives, as You know, so it was a deeply inspiring pursuit, although the film did not gain much popularity, critics praised Smith's performance and called it sensitive and low-key in 2016.
