Can you imagine Will Smith driving Tommy Lee Jones crazy

The ‘Stinking’ Story of Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and a Torture on ‘Men in Black’ Production

Sliding into the film world from the television world can be a little hard and
overwhelming. Many actors have lost themselves during this critical
transformation, but many found themselves too. Will Smith, the Fresh Prince of
Bel-Air, found himself and became a star. We all know him for iconic movies such
as The Pursuit of Happyness, I, Robot, Men in Black, and the most recent Oscar
winner King Richard.

Men in Black has been one of the essential movies in Smith’s career. Did you
know his wife convinced him

to sign this movie? Also, in this movie, Smith worked with legendary actors like
Tommy Lee Jones, Rip Torn, and a talented director named Barry Sonnenfeld. While
shooting, Will Smith unknowingly tortured Tommy Lee Jones. It is indeed a
hilarious story.


WHO KNEW WILL SMITH COULD TORTURE TOMMY LEE JONES?

Agent K and J (the Men in Black
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-watch-will-smith-iconic-performance-of-his-grammy-winning-men-in-black-title-track/])
are the scum-fighting super-agents; their latest mission is to save the world
from a total intergalactic disaster. Agent K is Tommy, and Agent J is Smith.
Because of the close connection of their characters, the actors had to work
closely. While it is certainly daunting and exciting to imagine working with
Tommy, Smith made this one scene real torture for the actor.

The director revealed
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-i-am-a-human-viagra-when-will-smith-revealed-what-it-felt-like-to-train-for-his-movie-ali/]
the incident where, despite getting along swimmingly, Smith drove Tommy crazy.
These two agents had to keep an eye on aliens living on earth and hide their
existence. They were shooting one scene, and the two actors were in a car. As
one hears the story’s start, one can never go back.

Sonnenfeld revealed Smith had the nastiest farts. He describes the scene where

and Smith drive a car through the tunnel. The filming required about 10 minutes
of process time to get these two actors safely in the car. As they were ready to
shoot in an upside-down car, they heard Will saying
[https://www.slashfilm.com/1008590/will-smith-made-one-men-in-black-scene-torture-for-tommy-lee-jones/],
“Oh, Jesus! I’m so sorry, Tommy. Guys, get us out of here! Get us out!”

No, it wasn’t the fear of the shoot; it was because he farted. Despite the
nastiest fart, Tommy completed the shoot and showed a professional attitude.
This is the power of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’s
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-will-smith-gets-real-about-the-fresh-prince-of-bel-air-says-f-ck-it-give-me-10-minutes/]unimaginable
charm. However, both the actors professionally finished the scene before
retreating. And the movie received a positive response. Although the duo took
time to find their groove, they were a hit pair.
