Will Smith once talked about taking advice from his aggressive younger self. The
actor who was always known for his jolly personality has been under heavy
criticism since the Oscars incident. The magnitude of this was so large that the
actor faced a ban from the Academy for a decade, even risking the date of his
future projects from the wave of opposition.

Gemini Man. During the promotion of the movie, the actor got real during an
interview, talking about his younger self and how he would have looked up to a
young Will for advice.

at YouTube space, La, the entertainer, said, “At 23, I was naive, ambitious, and
aggressive. And there is a power to naivete. That’s a power that I’m actually
trying to get back into my life right now. So I would be asking my 23-year-old
self for advice. He made some good a** decisions. He made some good calls.” The

actor also stated how success makes him feel trapped, which is why he was so
fond of a sci-fi thriller. As these concepts gave him a chance to explore more
about life and self-reflection more. He loved the idea of how a person plants
their own destruction. And how one’s own actions become the reason for their
rise and fall. The movie Gemini Man, where he plays an aging assassinator,
explores a similar storyline. Wherein the character Henry Brogan is chased by
his younger self.
