With an incredibly successful career in Hollywood

Will Smith Reveals the Most Agonising Setback From His Acting Career

Over the years, the greatest actor in Hollywood has often been a hot topic of
contention. It has often been complicated, granted its subjective, and
comparison between actors from different timelines can be difficult. Meanwhile,
a convincing case can be made for Will Smith
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/]. The list of the greatest actors
in Hollywood is incomplete without the Men In Black star. However, as they say,
the road to the top is never an easy one. Despite an incredible career, the
actor has had his share of failures. And recently, the actor opened up about the
greatest failure in his acting career.

Looking back at the super successful career Will Smith enjoys, it is often
difficult to imagine any of his failures. Even though the actor gave countless
memorable films over the years, a handful few did not leave up to his
expectations. Fitting the bill was the 2013 film After Earth, which the actor
considers his most agonizing setback. The actor revealed his true feelings about
After Earth‘s performance. The sci-fi film performed decently at the box office
grossing almost $243 million around the world with a $130 million budget.



However, the I Am Legend star added that owing to his son Jaden’s involvement in
the movie, his feelings about the film’s failure intensified. To add fuel to the
fire, film Smith gave massive hits, including Hancock and Hitch, grossing almost
$1000 million which After Earth could not match.

It might be surprising to know, but the aftermath of the film’s performance did
not leave early. Strange as it sounds, the actor refused to star in the sequel
of his incredibly successful film, Independence Day
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-will-smith-mysterious-disappearance-reason-from-the-independence-day-sequel-finally-revealed/].
However, Smith surely learned a valuable lesson in the process. Apart from this,
the actor revealed how, following After Earth, his views toward success and
craftsmanship completely changed.

Despite the movie not matching the box office collections of Fresh Prince’s
previous movies, it has still found its place on the American OTT platform,
Netflix after all these years.


WILL SMITH STARER AFTER EARTH GETS A NEW LIFE ON NETFLIX

A notorious huge bomb from one of the biggest stars in Hollywood has curiously
found a new life on Netflix. As per reports by Slash film,
[https://www.slashfilm.com/1275831/m-night-shyamalans-after-earth-flop-new-life-netflix/]
After Earth returned to the screens after almost a decade on Netflix this May
and made its way to the top 10 on the streamer’s charts.



The film follows a father and son Cypher and Kithai Raige, who crash land on
Earth a thousand years after humans flee it following cataclysmic events. As
