Willard Christopher Smith Jr. was born on September 25, 1968 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His adolescence was marked by the divorce of his parents, Caroline and Willard Christopher Smith. Will Smith took refuge in music and joined the hip-hop movement in the 1980s. His meeting with Jeffrey Townes was a turning point. The two took on a stage name, DJ Jazz Jeff and The Fresh Prince, and set out on a musical career. In 1987, the duo released their first album, Rock the House. The following year, the single Parents just don’t understand from the album He’s the DJ, I’m the rapper won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance.
In 1990, building on his burgeoning popularity, Will Smith became the lead character in a new sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He also performed the theme song for the series, which was an instant hit. His performance earned him two Golden Globe nominations. In 1995, he also took on a film role in Bad Boys alongside Martin Lawrence. The film did well at the box office worldwide and his role as a slightly charming policeman brought him new status. The following year, after the end of the Bel-Air Prince series, he continued his rise on the big screen and landed a role in the blockbuster Independence Day.
His breakthrough came in 1997 when he formed an irresistible duo with Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black. He also composed and performed the soundtrack. From then on, the actor had a string of successes and varied registers; biopic (Ali, 2001), romantic comedy (Hitch, expert in seduction), melodrama (In search of happiness, 2006), science fiction (I am a legend, 2007). In 2012, after an absence from film sets, he shot the third installment of Men in Black and sealed his reunion with Tommy Lee Jones. In 2013, he worked under the direction of Night Shyamalan and starred with his son Jaden in After Earth, but the film received a mixed reception. He returned to the limelight in 2015, starring in Peter Landesman’s Alone Against All, and earned a 2016 Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor.
On 27 March 2022, he won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in The Williams Method. In his acceptance speech, he publicly apologised to the Academy for slapping Chris Rock, who had just made a joke about his wife, a few minutes before.
In the early 1990s, Will Smith met actress Garcelle Beauvais on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and dated her for a year. In May 1992, he married Sheree Fletcher and became the father of a baby boy, Willard Christopher Trey Smith, in November 1992. But three years later the couple divorced. The actor fell in love with his new partner on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Nia Long, in 1995. Then Will Smith fell in love with actress Jada Pinkett. The couple married in December 1997 and gave birth to two children; Jaden Christopher Syre (born on 08/07/1998) and Willow Camille Reign (born on 31/10/2000).
