Will Smith: I'm Not Very Talented

Image by wenn.com

Although Will Smith was nominated for an Academy Award last year, the A-list actor insists he's not very talented, but he makes up for it by working hard.

Smith says, "I've never viewed myself as particularly talented. Where I excel is with a ridiculous, sickening work ethic. "While the other guy's sleeping, I'm working. While the other guy's eating, I'm working. While the other guy's making love, I mean, I'm making love, too, but I'm working really hard at it!"

Will Smith is one of my favorite actors, I think he's super talented. He had me bawling like a baby in 'Pursuit of Happiness,' but my favorite Will Smith movie will always be 'Hitch.' Do you guys think he's talented or over rated?

Will Smith is a soso actor and a soso rapper. I think it helps that he is super charismatic and Charming. He is super smart in creating a normal family image. Too bad it's made up like everything thing else in hollywierd . The reality is that he and Jada are both bisexual and swingers!

I love him! I think he's an average actor, but he's charming, and very handsome and that's what sells. Not to mention, he's the All American family guy....I think he's just an all around wonderful person, and that's what draws the public to him.

Diane, I agree with your statement. And overall Will is such a cutie!!!!!

He is supertalented, across the board. I really like him. He's charming, and charm sells. Not the finest actor, not the finest musician--it doesn't matter. He can act, he can sing, he can dance, all well enough to be good. He's great. I love him.

He's not a great actor, he's a great boxoffice draw. Acting-wise, he's average...he's right. And I have no plans on seeing "I am Legend"...I'll rent "Omega Man" and watch Charlton Heston do zombies right.

Great actor in my opinion. He is one of the few to go from music star to movie star...and do it well!

All those no brain action blockbusters don't requiring superb acting.
