Will Smith admitted that his family members weren't too pleased with his success. In an interview with Kevin Hart on his Peacock TV show Hart To Heart, the Oscar-winning actor, 54, reflected on his journey to fame. He rose to fame with the NBC sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which aired from 1990 to 1996.
However, it wasn't until two decades later when his two children Jaden and Willow experienced their own success. Many will remember Willow's catchy first single, Whip My Hair, which was released when she was just 9 years old and stormed the charts in the US, UK and beyond. She was signed to Jay-Z's record label Roc Nation as their youngest artist ever and toured the world with the song. Jaden, 25, also made his big film debut alongside Jackie Chan in The Karate Kid.
Will reflected on this time in his life fondly, telling Kevin Hart: "2010 was like the greatest year as an artist, as a parent." He went on to describe this as the time when he realised that success and money don't automatically mean happiness. He said: "Willow was the first one to begin the mutiny and it was my first realization that success and money don’t mean happiness. Up until that point, I really believed that you could succeed your way — to a house and a family — and you could win your way to happiness."
Will is currently hard at work after he was recently spotted filming alongside Martin Lawrence for the upcoming Bad Boys sequel. Pictures from the set in Georgia have emerged, showing the stars in full police gear, including guns, badges and bulletproof vests. Details are still scarce on the fourth flick but it looks like fans can expect another action-packed movie.
Love Island winter series is reportedly set to be replaced with an all-stars spin-off in a huge shake-up. The Witcher producer has also claimed that the show has become "too complicated" for Americans. It'll be interesting to see how these changes pan out in the future.
