Will Smith

Om Will Smith på engelska

Will was born on September 25th 1968, as Willard Smi th, Jr., in Philadelphia, PA. He was the eldest of 4 children: Ellen and twins Pam and Harry. He was always a funny guy, like when he was a kid he pulled funny faces and did weird things like stick straws up his nose. Will was first publicly known when he released his first album at the age of 18 with his '93music partner DJ Jazzy Jeff or Jeff Townes; the title was Rock the house it sold a pretty good 600,000 copies. After, he went on tour for a while, then a year later he released a 2nd album called He's the DJ I'm the rapper. This one was more successful: it scored 3million copies! Since he was a millionaire buy then, he could spend lot's of money. At the end of the year he received a HUGE tax bill, and he became practically broke. To get more money he went to the Bahamas with DJ Jazzy Jeff to record a third album. But then when it was released it almost turned out to be a flop. But then Will and Jeff Townes started a 1-900 NUM, and don't ask me why but they got 2million callers in the first couple of months at an average of $2.45 a call (over 4 million dollars). Then he decided that he would try something other than making rap 32 music like acting!

After that he wanted to become a TV star and NBC signed him up for Monday's at 8PM. The show was called The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, and Will was a guy and his parents send him to Bel-Air to live with his Aunt, Uncle, and cousins. It ended in 1996 (1990-1996). He starred in his first movie in 1992 Where the Day Takes you. It wasn't a great hit, same with his next movie in 1992 Made in America, and same with his next movie in 1993 Six Degrees of Speration. His first Block-Buster\rquote movie was Bad Boys (in this movie he is a cop). His next big movie was ID4,1996 (in this one he is a fighter pilot) It also broke the world record at that time, it got $100,000,000 in six days!. His next big movie was MiB, 1997. It was the first movie that he was in that was directed by Steven Spielberg, he also starred with Tommy-Lee Jones. It was probably his most popular movie ever. His next movie will be Bad Boys II, wich will definately be a hit. He has also recentely realesed an album Titled Big Willie Style. Right now he lives with his wife Jada and son Trey in a big house in Burbank, CA. Maybe there will be a MiB II??
