Will Smith candidly discussed his personal life, including the numerous well-publicized highs and lows he has experienced in recent times.
During the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia, the 55-year-old actor expressed his thoughts on fame in light of the challenges he has faced over the past few years. According to a video shared by Deadline on X, formerly known as Twitter, Smith stated, “Fame is a unique monster. I’ve had to be really careful.”
He added, “You can’t get excited when everybody is saying good things about you because the more you take when people are saying good things about you, the more hurt you’re going to be when people are saying bad things about you.”
Smith also elaborated that the recent challenges he has faced have led him to reassess and shift his personal priorities.
