I genuinely have no interest in anything he does any more. Not actively boycotting his projects or anything, more complete disinterest. And I'm not even saying all art has to be viewed through the lens of the artist. But there are people that have such memorable or distinct performances that afterwards they have trouble getting other roles... This is like that, but cranked up to 11.
And I know he's a meme and we joke about it... but because of his weird hangups he chose to use violence on another person on a world stage, with cameras on him. By his own actions he made it impossible for me to lose myself in any character he plays, instead I'll only think about The Slap.
I really only liked Will Smith as an actor because he seemed to be a likeable person. Now I know better.
Eh, I think he's a good person that was hit by a horribly misplaced attempt at chivalry. There's a lot of stuff he's done that I don't like, but it's mostly been in his attempts to protect and help his family.
There are worse reasons to do bad things. It's not an excuse; I just think he's not a terrible person.
Oh, for sure. I don't think he's necessarily a bad person, he's just not particularly likeable anymore. Maybe it's age, or what life has thrown his way, but his personality no longer seems as appealing. That's the main thing he had going for him, imo.
Terrible? Nah. A jerk? Yes.
Oh yeah, he deserves everything Chris Rock decides to throw at him. A mistake isn't an excuse.
Keep Will Smith's name out of your fucking mouth!!!
