WILL SMITH

Willard Carroll Smith Jr. (born September 25, 1968) is an American actor and rapper. His mum is a school board administrator, and his dad is an U.S. Air Force veteran and refrigeration engineer.

He is married to actress and musician Jada Pinkett Smith and the father of three children: Willard III, 13 (from his first marriage); Jaden, 8; and Willow, 6. To keep fit, he runs (perhaps the perfect pastime for a man who can never seem to slow down). His first son, Trey, appeared in his father's music video for the 1998 single "Just the Two of us" and has also acted in some TV series. In April 2007, Newsweek called him "the most powerful actor in Hollywood". He has got four Grammy Awars and appeared on the NBC television in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

About his work he says “I don’t want to get bored, I want to face new challenges. That’s important for me, it keeps my engine running.” He prepares his new films during a week or so, at home with his family trying to be as the character of the film. He says “They understand what I am doing and don’t call me crazy. This usually works”

When he talks about fame and the effect it has on people’s lives he believes that it depends on the kind of person you are. In fact, he compares it to altitude “. If you go up a mountain there is less oxygen. Some people can acclimate and breathe and move up gradually. Others can’t handle it”. In addition, he says “there’s a lot of pressure on his job”.

According to him, the most difficult work he has done is a film called “Conclussion” which sport drama film where he tries to destroy American football. He says “I was profoundly conflicted. I love football”

“I wake up every morning believing today is going to be better than yesterday.” – Will Smith
