Will Smith admits his past mistakes

Will Smith opened up about his mistakes throughout his life such as his controversial Oscars slap and very talked about marriage woes.

During his appearance at the Red Sea International Film Festival on Sunday, the actor said,

”I have made tons of mistakes.”
“Fame is a unique monster. You can’t get too excited when people say good things about you because then when people say bad things about you, you struggle and suffer more.”

The Oscar winner added,

“I have to be clear about who I am and what I am attempting to do in the world.”

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star also said that he doesn’t need the ”applause of others to stay focused on his mission.’‘

The Pursuit of Happyness star continued,

“And at the same time, I am deeply human. And I am in the process of perfecting my virtue.”

Smith’s surprising statement came just weeks after his estranged wife, 52, revealed in October that they have been living separately for seven years.

The shocking news came just ahead of the actress’s tell-all memoir Worthy, which has since revealed a more shocking slew of personal marital details including affairs, sex rooms, and open marriage.

Fans were left in shock after listening about their marital troubles, especially after Smith, 55, slapped comedian Chris Rock onstage at the 2022 Oscars after he made fun of Jada’s bald hair.

After that, the Academy put a ban on Smith from the Oscars and all of its events for a decade.

Smith said at the time,

“I accept and respect the Academy’s decision,”

While Will’s character dies in the original ending of the film, Smith is alive in an alternate ending of the movie’s DVD.

“I can’t tell you any more.”

Internet users were however not pleased with Will’s words and expressed their opinions on his statement. One wrote,

”Pathetic! Humility coming out a few years too late. The impact of his actions must be taking a serious toll on his ego and career for him to have to stoop to the level of having to have to feel sorry for his actions now.”

Referring to the Oscars slap, another wrote,

”No one can unsee what he did during that broadcast. No one in show business has ever done anything so insane and clearly drug fueled. He needs to accept that his life and career are permanently affected and move on”
