Will Smith is one of the most succesful men in the Hollywood industry. Here is what keeps the star humble despite his enormous success.

“It’s 100% self-doubt”- When Will Smith Made a Striking Confession to Jimmy Carter Following His Immense Success After Grammy Win

Not many can say that they rose to stardom through their debut role, playing an
over-the-top version of themselves. But Will Smith can. When he stepped into the
acting industry in 1990 with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will Smith already had
a successful music career behind him. Known popularly by his stage name, The
Fresh Prince, Smith has received four Grammy Music Awards for his rap tracks.
The Bad Boys franchise that started in 1995 definitely escalated Will Smith’s
rise to stardom. He soon came to be hailed as Mr. July with each of his movies
becoming a blockbuster success. A huge trait that plays in his favor is his
humble nature, something he displayed after winning a Grammy.


WILL SMITH REMAINS FOREVER HUMBLE

Fame definitely does not take time to get to a person’s head. But despite his
monumental success, Will Smith has never once let fame get to his head. Around
the time that Enemy of State was released, Smith was at the height of his
stardom. For decades he ruled over the box office rating like no one else could.

In an interview [https://www.youtube.com/c/askjimmycarter] with Jimmy Carter,
the Oscar-winning actor opened up about how his success affects him. Will Smith
was asked if he was full of self-confidence given the onslaught of success. The
actor said ”It’s 100% self-doubt” when it comes to his career. Looks like the
Men In Black actor read the saying ”The higher you climb, the harder you fall”
one too many times.



Smith also talked about how he makes sure that each move is the right move. He
credits the people who have stuck around him for a long time for not letting the
fame get to his head. He calls them intelligent and reliable. Despite there
being plenty of noise about how good he is, he pays attention to the remarks he
gets from the people close to him. Given that they have been on this journey
with him since Philadelphia, they know when to step in.

The actor further revealed that behind every move he makes there have been hours
of conceptualization on the actor and his team’s behalf. This is how Will Smith
has had three successful decades in the movie industry and likely more to come.

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.
