“Fame is a monster…you have to be careful”.
Hollywood actor Will Smith said, “Fame is a monster.”
Will Smith recently attended the Red Sea International Film Festival held in Saudi Arabia and shared various stories with fans, filmmakers, and aspiring actors. “I had to be careful because fame is a unique monster,” he said. “
The more I accept it when everyone says nice things about me, the more it hurts me when people say bad things about me,” he said. “I learned that I had to be clear,” he said.
This is an indirect reference to the assault on Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards, which received a lot of criticism. At the time, Chris Rock made a joke aimed at Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who shaved her head due to hair loss due to illness, and Will Smith screamed, “Don’t put my wife’s name in her mouth.”
He won the Best Actor award but was disciplined and ended up withdrawing from the Academy.
He also said, “I always wanted to make people laugh, and I enjoyed the process of giving joy and inspiration,” and said that he was not a perfect human being. “I am in the process of perfecting my virtue. I knew I had to be humble to perfect my light, and I was deeply inspired,” Will Smith said. “I want to shine my light on as many people as possible,” he said.
Meanwhile, Will Smith also have revealed that he is preparing a sequel to ‘I Am Legend’ (2007). He said, “I’ve received the first script, and I’m talking to his co-star Michael Jordan.”
