Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have emerged as one of the most complex relationships in Hollywood. But his first marriage was no different

“I fell in love with&#8230;.” Before Jada Pinkett Smith’s Entanglement, Will Smith Confessed to Being in Love With His Co-star

Had the Family Guy not been an adorned American sitcom watched by millions, it
would be a phrase dedicated to Will Smith. For most of his career, the actor
promoted himself as either the boy from Philadelphia or the man who runs back to
his family. While the latter will prevail owing to the slap gate, it is
surprising how the Bad Boys actor managed to have such a long-standing career
with no cheating rumors. Or so we thought.

The Oscar-winning actor in 2021 released his self-titled memoir ‘Will’, whose
candidness remained unmatched till Prince Harry dropped ‘Spare’. Until reading
the confession of him being in love with his co-star, Will Smith was the
personification of a devoted man.


DID WILL SMITH FALL IN LOVE WITH HIS CO-STAR?

The actor has been married two times in his life. His first marriage gave him
his eldest son Trey, but could not stand the test of time as Will Smith and
Sheree Zampino divorced soon after. This, as Smith reveals in his memoir, was
also a result of his infatuation with his Six Degrees of Separation co-star,
Stockard Channing. “I actually fell in love with Stockard Channing,” he writes
in his memoir.

Smith’s character, Paul, in the critically acclaimed film, was in love with
Channing’s Louisa. And this translated to him “desperately yearning to see and
speak to Stockdard,” despite having wrapped up filming.

The actor heavily holds the use of method acting for the film responsible for
his infatuation with the actress. It is quite ironic to see how the tables have
turned, as in his second marriage with Jada Pinkett Smith is regarded as the
perpetrator.


DID THE BAD BOYS ACTOR CHEAT ON HIS WIFE?

Will Smith, despite confessing to falling in love with a co-star due to method
acting, has at no point in his memoir or any public interview confessed to
cheating on his wife. While the circumstances may be widely different, it is
quite identical to how Jada Pinkett Smith has never confessed to cheating on her
husband and the father of her four children.

Instead, on her talk show Red Table Talk, she confessed to having an
“entanglement” with August Alsina during the time they decided to take a break.
While the Smith couple denied any allegations of infidelity to the hilt,
Alsina’s track titled ‘Entanglements’ proves quite the contrary.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
