Will Smith's Jaden Is Ready to Fill His Shoes

PopSugar — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 14:00:52 -0800

I Am Legend might have been knocked out of the BO top 5, but that's not stopping Will Smith from bringing his enthusiasm around the world in the name of promotion. On Monday he showed up in Rio de Janeiro for more interviews and premieres. We're pretty impressed that Will still has that huge grin on his face considering he's been spending so much time away from his family, but it sounds like they're holding down the fort without him. Little Jaden even scored another movie role to follow up his performance in The Pursuit of Happyness. That should keep Will smiling until he can come home and celebrate stateside.

Will Smith's Legend Is Starting to Fade Away

PopSugar — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 00:02:16 -0800

The Legend himself, Will Smith, put on yet another swanky suit to premiere his movie in Berlin on Monday. Afterwards he posed for pictures and signed autographs for fans before his dinner. Will seems happy-go-lucky as usual, but I Am Legend is starting to slip at the box office. It even got beat out by Juno for the No. 2 slot last weekend, even though original reports claimed the opposite. Not the best news for action hero Will, but he's still got his record breaking December opening to help him sleep at night.

Lots more of Will hamming it up in his long coat, so just

Will Smith Is Legend in London

Molly — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 08:30:00 -0800

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.

Will Brings His Legend to France

Molly — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 07:45:15 -0800

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.

Images include Will Smith, Francis Lawrence and Akiva Goldsman.

Will Brings His Legendary Smile to Spain

PopSugar — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 15:49:22 -0800

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.

Lots more of Will being a goofball so just

Will & Tom's Legendary Promotion Still Going

PopSugar — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 00:39:04 -0800

Tom Cruise and Will Smith continued to bond across the country at the I Am Legend premiere in NYC. This time around Jada joined in on the fun with the rest of the family. Love her in green but she's wowed me more before. I think it's pretty sweet how the Cruises support their friends so much. Between Spice Girls concerts to events like this, Tom and Katie always seem to be by their sides yet somehow they are in dead last on the BFF poll of 2007. My guess is Tom's scary Scientology beliefs have scared many of you off but since his friends have declared he is not recruiting them maybe we should just realize they have Legend - wait for it - ary relationships.

Lots more of Tom, The Smiths, Pete Wentz, Mary J Blige, Benjamin McKenzie and more so just

Will Smith Might Not Be Legendary in China

PopSugar — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 14:00:31 -0800

Will Smith made a grand entrance at the premiere of I Am Legend in Hong Kong yesterday after another press conference (hopefully nobody dozed off this time). He's been making his way across Asia to promote the film, but seems to be having some trouble getting the movie released in China. The country is trying to keep out foreign films in order to stimulate their own entertainment industry but Will still fought for his project, saying, "We struggled very, very hard to try to get it to work out, but there are only a certain amount of foreign films that are allowed in." The movie looks like it has definite blockbuster potential, so hopefully getting banned from China won't have a huge effect on the overall success of Will's movie.

Will Smith Knows How to Laugh It Off

PopSugar — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 11:00:54 -0800

Will Smith smiled big for the cameras on the red carpet at the I Am Legend premiere tonight in Tokyo. Even though he's taken on many serious roles since his Fresh Prince days, Will is still a jokester at heart and his comedic side came out at his press conference on Tuesday. Apparently one of the reporters in the audience fell asleep during the event, but rather than lose his temper Will asked to have his picture taken with the reporter, and even pretended to be asleep. No doubt the journalist was a little embarrassed, but at least Will didn't yell at him like a another star we know of.

Will Smith Is Hopefully Lost in Translation

Molly — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 12:53:38 -0800

Will Smith arrived in Tokyo for a press conference to promote I Am Legend today. He was looking pretty dapper in his suit, which I assume we'll be seeing a lot of as he premieres this one all around the world. While the movie is based on the premise of Will thinking he's the last man alive, his daughter Willow makes a cameo in the film. According to her dad, she's already a bit of a diva. He said, "You don't work with Willow. You work for Willow." He also said that while Jayden is the Johnny Depp of the family, Willow is more like, well, a different kind of personality. "Willow is Paris Hilton . . . Willow wants to be on TV." Let's just hope that her similarities to Paris end with the desire to be on television.

Movie Preview: I Am Legend

Movie Preview: I Am Legend Back when the teaser trailer came out for I Am Legend, it looked like a mysterious, creepy sci-fi thriller starring Will Smith, but aside from some eerie images of a deserted New York City, there wasn't a whole lot in the teaser to get me super stoked about it.

Will Smith Warms Up the Crowd

PopSugar — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 10:31:44 -0800

Will Smith knows how to get a crowd going! The actor was filming in 11 degree temperatures in NYC with more than 1,000 extras. While they were waiting around to shoot a scene the actor found a way to take their minds off the super cold day. The Fresh Prince busted out Summertime to the crowd which sang along during the chorus. I know I would have been dancing along with the crowd as well.
