Will Smith is one of the greatest stars that the movie industry has seen. With
every performance, he amazed us with his enormous acting abilities. Given his
three-decade-long successful career, there is a vast amount of knowledgeable
experience that Smith brings to the table. This is why fans love to watch all
his interviews. The actor is driven to his craft, honest, and constantly aims at
bringing perfection to what he does. The interviews give insight into the person
he is behind the glitz and glam. After becoming a parent, Will Smith had much to
share about parenting, and he did so in a past interview.


WILL SMITH ON WHY HE THINKS HE IS TURNING INTO HIS FATHER

Long before the Oscar slapgate controversy, while promoting Enemy of the State,
Will Smith [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith] and Jimmy Carter talked
about how the actor is turning into his father. The Oscar-winning actor has
talked about how his father was a part of the Air Force. And just like most
fathers, Smith’s father, too, had the habit of yelling for no logical reason at
all.

He hilariously recounts yelling at his youngest son to figure out what he wants
from the refrigerator and not stand there with the door open. This led the actor
to a very important realization about not just his parents, but all parents in
general. “You always thought your parents knew everything. They don’t know
anything. They’re winging it,” said the Men In Black

actor. Will, who is now a father of three, has talked about his own parents on
various occasions.



In David Letterman’s Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/title/80209096] show My
Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman, Smith talked about his
father. While his father was an inspiration in some ways, he also served as the
main character in the actor’s most painful memories. He recounted how he and his
siblings once saw his father punch his mother so hard that blood came out of her
mouth.

That moment had a huge impact on Will Smith and even led him to believe that he
was a coward. The episode, while recorded earlier, came out after the Oscar
controversy and did not sit well with the audience. The actor once also opened
up more about his traumatic childhood in his YouTube original series Best Shape
of My Life.

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.
