Will Smith Shares Career Regrets and New Creative Energy
Will Smith is stepping back into the spotlight with a mix of honesty, music, and personal growth. In a recent interview, he opened up about some major roles he passed on in the past, including Inception and The Matrix.
Smith said he turned down the role in Inception because he didn’t quite understand the film when it was first explained to him. Looking back, he admits these missed chances still bother him.
While reflecting on these regrets, Smith also spoke about how the Oscars incident in 2022 pushed him to take a hard look at himself. He described it as both “brutal and beautiful,” saying the experience sparked a new wave of creative energy in his life.
That fresh energy is clear in his latest music. In June, Smith released a new single titled Pretty Girls. The upbeat song comes with a colorful music video and a message about confidence and being yourself. It’s his first major release in a while and a sign that he’s ready to reconnect with fans through music.
Smith is also getting ready for something new—his first-ever European tour. It kicks off on June 25 at the Mawazine Festival in Morocco. He’s expected to perform songs from his past hits as well as new material.
Fans were also treated to a surprise moment on Father’s Day, when Will brought his son Jaden on stage at the Summertime Ball in London. The father-son moment was full of love and excitement, and the crowd responded warmly. Smith also performed with DJ Jazzy Jeff at the event, showing that he’s still a powerful force on stage.
On the movie side, Smith’s most recent film Bad Boys: Ride or Die had a strong box office performance, and other projects like an I Am Legend sequel and Brilliance are currently in development.
After a few quiet years, Will Smith is clearly on the move again—this time with more openness, creativity, and purpose.
