On December 11, 2009, Smith and his wife hosted the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway, to celebrate Obama&#8217;s winning of the prize. In 2012, Smith said he supported legalizing same-sex marriage. In 2021, Smith announced that production of his upcoming film,\u00a0<em>Emancipation<\/em>, was being pulled from\u00a0Georgia\u00a0because of the recent passage of the Election Integrity Act of 2021, which critics viewed as a restrictive voting law, negatively impacting non-white voters. Smith and director\u00a0Antoine Fuqua\u00a0released a joint statement: &#8220;We cannot in good conscience provide economic support to a government that enacts regressive voting laws that are designed to restrict voter access&#8221;.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will Smith movies <\/strong><\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1990 Saturday Morning Videos<\/li>\n\n<li>1990 ABC Afterschool Special \u2013 The Perfect Date The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air<\/li>\n\n<li>1992 Blossom<\/li>\n\n<li>1992 Where the Day Takes You<\/li>\n\n<li>1993 Made in America<\/li>\n\n<li>1993 Six Degrees of Separation<\/li>\n\n<li>1995 Bad Boys<\/li>\n\n<li>1996 Independence Day<\/li>\n\n<li>1997 Men in Black<\/li>\n\n<li>1998 Enemy of the State<\/li>\n\n<li>1999 Torrance Rices<\/li>\n\n<li>1999 Wild Wild West<\/li>\n\n<li>2000 Welcome to Hollywood<\/li>\n\n<li>2000 The Legend of Bina Vans<\/li>\n\n<li>2001 Ali<\/li>\n\n<li>2002 Men in Black II<\/li>\n\n<li>Girlfriend by 2000 B2K<\/li>\n\n<li>2003 Bad Boys II<\/li>\n\n<li>Will Smith Biography<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>2004<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A Closer Walk<\/li>\n\n<li>Jersey Girl<\/li>\n\n<li>American Chopper<\/li>\n\n<li>Eye, Robot<\/li>\n\n<li>Shark Tale<\/li>\n\n<li>2005 Late\u2019s a God on The Mick<\/li>\n\n<li>2005 Hitch<\/li>\n\n<li>2006 The Pursuit of Happiness<\/li>\n\n<li>2007 I Am Legend<\/li>\n\n<li>Will Smith Biography<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>2008<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Hancock<\/li>\n\n<li>Lequiu Terras<\/li>\n\n<li>The Secret Life of Biz<\/li>\n\n<li>Seven Pounds<\/li>\n\n<li>Will Smith Biography<\/li>\n\n<li>2010 The Karate Kid<\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thebestbiography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-8-5-14-13-1-1.png\" alt=\"Will Smith\" class=\"wp-image-5772\" style=\"width:936px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure><\/div><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will Smith Controversies<\/strong><\/h2><p>The popular actor and singer\u00a0Will\u00a0has been involved in his fair share of controversy throughout the course of his successful career.

Despite Smith\u2019s denials, there are speculations and discussions regarding his beliefs because of his affiliation with the church.<\/li>\n\n<li>Jada Pinkett-Smith and Will have come under fire for their parenting style, especially, since they have drawn criticism from the public due to having too much freedom and leading unusual lifestyles for their kids.<\/li>\n\n<li>In 2020, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Smith admitted that they had momentarily split up on an episode of Jada\u2019s show, \u201cRed Table Talk,\u201d and that Jada had a romance with musician August Alsina. Jada\u2019s choice of the word \u201centanglement\u201d to describe the connection led to jokes and memes on social media, and the incident sparked debate over their marriage.<\/li>\n\n<li>The Smiths came under fire for their\u00a0association with the New Village Leadership Academy,\u00a0a school they co-founded that was suspected of adopting Scientology teaching methods and having ties to the religion of Scientology. After the institution was finally shuttered in 2013, their role came under even more investigation.<\/li><\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interesting facts<\/strong><\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In the movies\u00a0The Pursuit of Happyness\u00a0(2006) and\u00a0After Earth\u00a0(2013), Will and his son Jaden have played father and son.<\/li>\n\n<li>At the age of 20, he had\u00a0amassed a million dollars.<\/li>\n\n<li>He has mastered the Rubik\u2019s cube.
