Will Smith

Will Smith is a prominent actor known for his roles in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” “Independence Day,” and “Men in Black”. He experienced a regrettable moment at the 2022 Oscars. In front of a global audience, Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock live on air, a decision he deeply regrets.

However, Smith’s career misstep might not be limited to this incident. He famously turned down the opportunity to play the iconic role of Neo in “The Matrix,” opting instead for the less successful “Wild Wild West.” While the sci-fi epic directed by the Wachowskis and starring Keanu Reeves became a cinematic milestone, Smith’s decision led to a career setback.
