How Will Smith Once Disclosed What He Would Do if He Had a Clone in 2019

At some point, most humans have wondered what they would do with their clone if
they managed to procure one. Well, the 2019 flick, Gemini Man headlining Will
Smith [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/] explored that very
scenario through its high-octane sci-fi narrative. It orbited the central theme
of clones where Smith’s character confronts his younger, CGI-generated self.
What ensued was a duel with destiny, doppelgängers, and the shadow of one’s own
reflection. 

Having experienced a surreal visual representation of the ultimate fantasy of
having a clone, Smith was bound to contemplate the implications of having one.
So, this is the conclusion he came to. 


WILL SMITH GETS CANDID ABOUT HIS THOUGHTS ON CLONES

During Gemini Man‘s promotions, Smith was interviewed by CalTv and posed the
question of what his clone would be doing at the moment if he had one. With his
typical light-hearted humor, the 55-year-old joked that his clone would be the
one “doing” that interview while he got “some rest”. After a hearty laugh, Smith
confessed in a serious tone that the subject of clones is an “intriguing
scientific idea” for him. 



To see two of himself on screen had been a “chilling” experience for him and he
was “excited” about the possibilities a discovery like that would present,
especially for “artists”. When probed on what his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/jada-pinkett-smith/] thought about his
“younger version” in the film, the Emancipation star joked that he “didn’t need
to hear” that. So, he told her to keep those thoughts “to herself”.

Back then, Smith also had an intriguing take on how he managed to make a
convincing impression of his younger self. 


SMITH IMPLEMENTED A ‘VIRGIN WALK’ TO PORTRAY HIS YOUNGER VERSION

At the premiere of Gemini Man, Will Smith was asked by E News about his biggest
challenge while shooting as junior Smith. Apparently, walking like a “virgin”
was something he incorporated into his younger part of the double role. So,
Smith explained how he felt that after one has “experienced the opposite sex” in
an intimate context, the “glutes” are not as tight as before!

According to the father of three, the body goes through a “distinct” change
after the fact. He even claimed that viewers will “know” about this too after
seeing the change in his walk in the movie! While CGI was heavily used in
various sections of the movie
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-apart-from-de-aging-will-smith-gemini-man-had-several-other-instances-of-cgi-that-went-unnoticed/],
Smith remained the canvas for the effects to be painted upon, leading to the
conception of this amusing walk!

After his double role in Gemini Man, Will Smith delved into the possibility of clones and what the best use for one would be.

Ibadat Kaur, a Hollywood News writer at Netflix Junkie, has writ over 500+ copies on the latest updates of celebrities like Ryan Reynolds and Henry Cavill. Kaur also delves into sling form copies around the nuances of series. One example of this is her piece on Sex Education Season 4 where she talked about how the show turned a hated character like Aimee into one loved by many. Away from work, her time spent training her dog, Raven, keeps her going.
