Actor Will Smith has stunned the world by declaring that Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was a “good” person. The 39 year-old star, who likes to see the best in people, is convinced the former German leader did not fully understand the extent of the pain and suffering his actions would cause during his time in power.”Hitler didn’t wake up going, ‘Let me do the most evil thing I can do today’. I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was ‘good’. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming,”he said. Hitler’s leadership as Fuhrer during the 1930s and early 1940s resulted in the persecution of an estimated six million Jews in the Holocaust, and later on led to the start of the Second World War. http://www.gossipboulevard.com/2007/12/22/...-a-good-person/

Will Smith brought his snarl and his Legend to London yesterday, once again a one-man show on the red carpet. He may be flying solo overseas, but he's not afraid to talk about how much he needs his wife. He recently told The Times of London, "Every day I need my woman to look at me right; I need Jada to have that look in her eyes. I can’t function if I don’t see it, whether it’s with my movies, or me as a father, or me as a husband. I have to educate myself to get to the place where I’m the best on Earth. . . . Then, and only then, can I be sure that my woman will never leave me.” Well that all sounds a bit intense, but at least Will knows what he wants. And at least we know that Jada's got a girlfriend to confide in about being married to such an interesting man. To see more of Will in London just read more http://popsugar.com/890206

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Good one dude. :thumbsup:

Nice words :thumbsup:

Will Smith wasn't home to celebrate I Am Legend breaking box office records this weekend, but I'm sure he managed to have a great time in Paris promoting the movie. As if he doesn't have enough reason to smile, his Legend director, Francis Lawrence, is more than willing to boost Will's ego. He said, "He's one of the only people that I can truly say kind of has all of that. He's funny, he's charming, he's smart, he's handsome, he's happy, he's got a great marriage, he's a great father, he's great at what he does, he's happy at what he does. It's sort of disgusting. So if anybody would be the last man standing, it's Will." Plus, he's obviously still a box office titan, and we're already getting a taste for his next picture. Buzz has the teaser trailer for Hancock which is a little cringe-inducing (but just a little), but with Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman and Will, I have faith it will be a lot of fun. http://popsugar.com/885810?sidcheck=1&idcheck=1

:lolsign: Well, it seems like I'm the only one who didn't like this trailer... :thumbdown:

Thanks Sandy. I'm sure Nuria couldn't believe Will Smith was next to her :lolsign:

No, por desgracia no pude ir. Hubiera dado lo que sea por ir a Madrid pero estoy muy liado con los exámenes. Me he tenido que conformar con verlo por la tele. Aunque conozco a una amiga que ha estado con él y se han hecho fotos. Ella ha cumplido mi sueño. Quizás la próxima... :emot-keke:

Cheers Max! :thumbsup:

In his latest film, Will Smith tries to save mankind By DAVID GERMAIN, Associated Press Posted Sunday, December 16, 2007 Will Smith stars in the new film, "I Am Legend," based on Richard Matheson's 1954 book of the same name, which previously was filmed as Vincent Price's "The Last Man on Earth" and Charlton Heston's "The Omega Man." LOS ANGELES -- Will Smith already has it all: the picture-perfect family, a film career that blends commercial hits with artistic acclaim, the occasional foray into music, where he scored his first success. Now Smith even gets to outlive us all. In his latest film, "I Am Legend," one of Hollywood's most consistent box-office draws plays the man who may be the sole human survivor of a global plague. The 39-year-old's golden touch would be vexing, if he weren't such a nice guy. "Until I met him, I've always believed that there are balances in people. That you really can't be smart, handsome, charismatic, happy. You can't be all of that," said "Legend" director Francis Lawrence. "He's one of the only people that I can truly say kind of has all of that. He's funny, he's charming, he's smart, he's handsome, he's happy, he's got a great marriage, he's a great father, he's great at what he does, he's happy at what he does. It's sort of disgusting. So if anybody would be the last man standing, it's Will." How lucky is he? Here's how the past year has gone for Smith, who made the leap to the big screen after rising to TV stardom with "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air." After a string of hits such as the romance "Hitch," the cartoon comedy "Shark Tale" and the sci-fi saga "I, Robot," Smith put out last December's smaller, riskier "The Pursuit of Happyness," the story of a struggling single dad who ends up homeless along with his young son. Not necessarily the feel-good film of the holiday season, and topping things off, the boy was played by Jaden Smith, his 9-year-old son with actress Jada Pinkett Smith. That could have spelled dreary ego project, but the film caught on with audiences, becoming Smith's latest $100 million smash and earning him his second Academy Award nomination as best actor, following a previous honor for the title role in 2001's "Ali." Now he's back with an apocalyptic tale for the holidays, when people generally have things on their minds other than the end of mankind. If anyone can turn "I Am Legend" into a hit, though, it has to be Smith. Oh, and he gets to work with one of his kids again. This time, it was take-Will's-daughter-to-work day, with his and Pinkett Smith's 7-year-old girl, Willow Smith, playing his daughter in flashback scenes. With mom and dad in show business, the children seem to have acting bred in the bone, Smith said. "Jaden always likes the scripts for some reason. He likes having scripts read to him. He likes the idea of maybe the shorter pages of reading than actually a book," Smith told the Associated Press in an interview. "So he from 4 years old has always said, 'Acting's easy. I don't know why it's such a big deal. What you do, Daddy, I can do that easy.' "He looks at the 'Fresh Prince' and he's like, 'That's not even good acting, Daddy.' " Jaden and Willow already have very different acting approaches, Smith said. His son is an emotional sponge, absorbing the moods of those around him, reacting with authentic, visceral feeling to others, even in make-believe acting situations. On the other hand, Willow is Teflon, taking things in and making conscious choices over how to react in her performance, Smith said. Smith's own style comes closer to his son's. "I need everyone to be in a good mood in order to be able to perform well," Smith said. "I need the set to be comfortable. I need the emotion or the mood of the set to lend itself to the mood of the scene. Those types of things are a real necessity for me." "I Am Legend" is the third adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 book of the same name, which previously was filmed as Vincent Price's "The Last Man on Earth" and Charlton Heston's "The Omega Man." This version has Smith alone with a dog for much of the movie, scrounging supplies in New York City and trying to find a cure for a disease that has wiped out most of humanity and turned the rest into ravenous, vampire-like creatures. Besides the dog, Smith interacts mainly with mannequins for the first hour, so the role required someone with huge charisma to hold audiences' attention. Smith's infectious personality turns movie sets often overloaded with egos and prima donnas into truly pleasant workplaces, colleagues say. "Will comes in every day as if it is his job to be generous. It's so extraordinary. It engenders this work environment where you feel safe and you get to play around. There's nothing worse than a movie set where there are eggshells on the floor," said Akiva Goldsman, whose credits include the screenplays for "I Am Legend," "I, Robot" and next summer's "Hancock," in which Smith plays an alcoholic superhero opposite Charlize Theron. For Smith, work choices come down to stories and filmmakers. "It's all material and team. It's that simple," Smith said. "My experience has been that a lot of actors start with a good role that they would want to play. I never start with the role. I start with, is this a movie that people would want to see?" http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dl...60310/1005/LIFE

Will Smith continued his worldwide tour promoting I Am Legend in Madrid today. He didn't have his BFF Tom or his family by his side this time around, but it looks like he was perfectly happy to represent the film all by himself. Judging by all the photos we've seen of super animated Will, you'd think the man never has a bad day but Buzz wasn't loving the film as much as its star was — check out her review here. We'll just have to see if the box office numbers will be enough to keep Will smiling into next week.

Will Smith apologises to NY citizens 14 Dec 2007 Actor Will Smith offered an apology to the citizens of New York for the inconvenience he caused to them on the streets of Manhattan while shooting his new film ‘I Am Legend.’ As the film was being made, many streets and Brooklyn Bridge were blocked in the city for periods between Oct 2006 and April 2007, which resulted in chaos. When the actor returned to the city for New York premiere on Dec 11, he took the opportunity to say sorry for the disruption he caused to the citizens. “I would like to issue a public apology to the citizens of New York. There were a couple of streets we had to close off during the filming of I Am Legend,” Contactmusic quoted Smith, as saying. “I am very sorry. People were kind of upset with me,” he added. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Interna...how/2618715.cms

Will Smith is all over the place this week promoting I Am Legend stopping by every talk show he can bursting with his trademark enthusiasm. Yesterday he was at TRL before bouncing off to his NY premiere. On the red carpet Will was psyched to see Tom. He said, "Of course, that’s my man!...You know he’s going to represent!” And this morning he was up bright and early at Regis and Kelly to talk about the school he is starting. He said, "The school system in this country – public and private – is designed for the industrial age," she said. "We started home-schooling our children probably six years ago...We found about eight or nine other parents that home-school, so we put them together. ... There's just very powerful educational concepts that we believe in, and we feel like 'I want to design the system that revolutionizes public education.'" While I'm not sure I agree with all of it, the man has passion. At the premiere, Jada talked also about bonding with Katie about their unique men. She said, "There are not many women who are married to the type of men we are married to...Katie and I ... talk. We throw some ideas around how to manage all the things we have to manage on a daily basis, so we have the opportunity to have our own lives and be mothers. So, we do it definitely on a whole personal girlfriend get-down. They do it on a business level." Ah yes, being married to Tom and Will must get a little bizarre, at least they have each other.

Tom Cruise Joins Will Smith at 'I Am Legend' Premiere Posted by ExtraTV Staff on December 12, 2007 8:41 AM Last night’s “I Am Legend” premiere brought Hollywood legends to the Big Apple as Will Smith unveiled his action-packed thriller. “I don't think people are going be prepared for what this film is,” an enthusiastic Will told “Extra” on the red carpet. “It's going to be very different from what people sit down and expect.” And just one day after cheering Will on in Hollywood, good friend Tom Cruise was on hand to show his support once again. “Of course, that’s my man!” Will exclaimed. “You know he’s going to represent!” Added Tom, “It’s always fun hanging out with Will.” Will plays the last man on earth in the sci-fi drama, which is already gaining him Oscar buzz. But on the chilly New York red carpet, he shared the spotlight with his scene-stealing kids, Jaden, 9, and Willow, 7. When “Extra” asked cutie Jaden, who starred alongside dad in “The Pursuit Of Happyness,” who’s the better actor, he quipped, “Me!” So how do Will and wife Jada Pinkett-Smith manage careers, kids and a successful 10-year marriage? “In a marriage, it just can't be about the passion, because that comes and goes,” Jada said. “But when you have that deep friendship and you feel like you couldn't live without this person, how could it not work?” Will also did some “Extra” rumor control, confirming a new partnership. He’s ready to team up with presidential candidate Barack Obama. “That's my man!” said Will. “I pretty much told him, ‘I’m open you know, supporting you. Just let me know what you need.’” Will also confirmed buzz about a possible remake of “The Karate Kid,” starring son Jaden. “We're looking,” Will revealed. “I met with a couple of people in China. We're looking to potentially shoot in China." Video!
