As Will Smith was recently banned by the Academy for slapping comedian Chris Rock on the Oscars 2022 stage after the latter made a joke about the baldness of the actor’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, a new interview recently surfaced online depicting how the King Richard actor was talking about his life trauma and protecting his family.
In an interview with David Letterman for the Netflix series, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, Will Smith was seen opening up about his life experience and how writing his book made him unlock a part of himself as an actor. While Letterman affirmed that the interview was shot before the actor’s Oscars slap gate, Will Smith talked about writing his 2021 memoir and added how he wanted to take a break from acting. He said, “My experiences and my life, and the writing of this book have unlocked a part of me, as an actor, that is like nothing I’ve ever experienced.”
