His career was on the wane before he acted like an asshole at the Oscars. I loved him as a kid and still love some of his movies, but he was the upstart smartass. That doesn't work when you're 50+ and he doesn't have the range to be more than that.

he's rich. he never has to worry about anything in his life. he doesn't "need" a comeback.

so he has to do is chill and enjoy life. and he's still not happy????

Just retire, Stale Prince.

Fuck Will Smith. Be forgotten, dickhead.

The real victim here is Jaden. Imagine your dad not handing you movie roles anymore because he fucked his own career. So unfair.

Fuck that guy. Don't come back, you hear?

He’s a notorious prick. He deserves all the negative attention he gets. Him crashing out repeatedly recently has only solidified his publicly perceived image as an unstable, insecure, abusive, corny, try-hard, iamverybadass, cuckold that gives everyone the ick.

He should’ve quit while he was ahead before he made every movie role a version of himself and focused on building his childrens’ futures or doing something for the greater good with his fortune. But no, he can’t let anything go. He has to try and control everything. And the more that goes sideways the more unhinged he becomes. It would be sad if he wasn’t such a selfish ass.

Why?

The guys a multi millionaire ... it doesn't matter if he had a come back or not, he's still a millionaire.

You have to be a moron to want more than that.

Smith is an awesome ensemble actor. He has great chemistry with his co-stars in buddy movies, be it MIB, Bad Boys, Hitch or even Independence Day. As Fresh Prince, he had a whole cast to play off. But he can't carry a movie where he's the only star. It becomes evident that he doesn't have the range, and his attempts to act come across as forced. I think people already realised it and are avoiding such movies. The Bad Boys franchise proves that he's still a bankable co-star, and hopefully he'll accept that position in his future work, rather than soloing vanity movies.

He's been crap for years. He should fuck off and live in obscurity on the undeserved fortune he's already accumulated.

He hasn't done anything good since mib anyway

I don't care for the slap. Like, I really, really don't care.

I don't see his failed comeback as punishment, it's just evidence he can't make anything good anymore. He's not owed a comeback, and failing to comeback is not 'punishment'

I used to really like him. He came across as really charismatic but after the slap and finding out that he was not in the Scientology box but had his head pressed right up against it, I figured screw this guy.

Its forced and cringe worthy.

There’s something ironic about him being able to act like a mature, stable adult on film back in the day but then doesn’t follow through to be genuine in the real day once he’s older

No. He hasn't been punished enough. Dude needs to fade away.

Uh he slapped a man for a joke about his wife that is (separately and unrelatedly) cucking him. And he raised Jaiden Smith. Nah, keep the punishment coming

people said as much, hes too much like the rock, wants to be center attention in the roles hes been. alan tudyk said as much.

Do you think the shark gets tired of being jumped over?
