The famous Hollywood actor Will Smith, who was nominated for two Academy Awards, has a dark history behind the seemingly glamorous and beautiful. Will Smith's representative works include "Men in Black", "Boxer Ali", "Enemy of the Nation", "Independence Day", "Jedi X-Men", "Mechanical Public Enemy", "Return to Earth" and so on.
"When I'm old enough, strong enough, no longer a coward, I'll kill him"
- "Will Smith"
In his forthcoming memoir, Will Smith, Will Smith himself reveals that he had the idea of killing his father as a child. When he was 13 years old, his parents separated. During this time, his father constantly abused his mother, leaving an indelible shadow on his childhood. In order to avenge his mother, he once thought of creating an accident and killing his father.
"I'm Will Smith, one of the best actors in the world, and no one will believe I killed my father on purpose."
Will Smith's father, Vera Smith, was an electrical engineer and a veteran. Her mother, Carolyn, was an employee of a school and the two divorced in 2000. Vera developed cancer in his later years, and as a son, Smith was responsible for caring for his father to fight the disease. Smith said that at one point, he stopped at the landing of the stairs and tried to push his father down, so that he could easily escape punishment. He believed that he was one of the best actors in the world, and no one would believe that he had deliberately killed his father.
It may be that as he grew older, and his father's aging, this idea slowly faded, and in the end, he did not put it into action, and took good care of his father, and also helped him bathe. In 2016, Vera passed away.
"My father is one of the greatest people I know and the greatest source of happiness in my life. But apart from that, my father has been torturing me and he is the biggest source of my suffering."
Smith revealed that he also had the idea of taking his own life. During the pandemic, Smith made a documentary documenting how Smith lost 9 kilograms in 20 weeks, losing weight through hellish weight loss and turning him from a big belly to a star figure. He thought that he could get himself back to the best state through high-intensity physical training, but he said that "when I thought that my body had reached the best state in my life, I found that I was not mentally like this, and I also found a lot of secrets."
He began to question the behavior behind his success, and as a hot action star, he used his public image as a defense mechanism for mental health. At the same time, he said, "This is the only time in my life when I think about committing suicide, and the Smith you know is a soldier who destroyed aliens, a movie star with a difference, but in large part by building, creating and honing these characters, so that I can protect myself, let myself escape from this world, cover up cowardly behavior." 」
It is reported that Smith not only had a bad childhood, but his marriage was also very unhappy. The marriage between him and his wife was developed, independent and free.
In 1992, Smith married Fashion Design student Shirley Zambino and gave birth to a son, Choi Smith, but the marriage lasted only three years, and in 1995, the two divorced.
In 1997, Smith met Jada Pinkett Smith, a longtime acquaintance, and married a son and a daughter. However, behind the seemingly happy marriage, it is full of betrayal.
In July last year, Jada confessed to Smith face-to-face on her live show that she had a relationship with 27-year-old singer August Alsina, who was introduced through her son. Still, Smith is very open-minded, saying, "What is the best way for couples to get along?" For most people, monogamy is our choice, but not necessarily the only perfect one." At the same time, Smith made it clear that his wife was not the only one at fault, and that he had made mistakes. Couples should give each other a high degree of trust and freedom, which is the "highest state of love".
It may be that the excessive tolerance for childhood and marriage allowed him to spy on his inner world when exercising. It was difficult to heal the wounds in the heart, so I had the idea of taking my own life. Although physical health is important, mental health cannot be ignored. When faced with stress, learn to decompress. Don't hold the pain and grievances in your heart for a long time.
In fact, there is no obstacle that cannot be passed, look at it, and that is it. Whether it is love, family affection, friendship, or career, life and illness, when encountering difficulties or pressures, you must learn to persuade yourself to get out of the bad mood as soon as possible. A lifetime is short, and a happy mood is the most important.
