Will Smith

Willard Christopher Smith Jr. was born in the American city of Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) on November 25, 1968. Since childhood was a child awake and with special ability to sing, act and get away with all the messes of a teenager. Precisely his teachers remember that this grace earned him the nickname of Fresh Prince in his high school days. Over time his millions of followers around the world would know him with this same nickname. Being still very young Will Smith joined his friend Jazzy to form the rap group DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. Their success was so important that they got two platinum albums and a Grammy. Between the years 1987 and 1993 they recorded five discs, some of them as well known as Rock the House or Code Red. Time later Will would have the opportunity to continue alone his musical career. In 1997, Big Willie Style appeared on the market, followed by Willenium (1999), Born to Reign (2002) and Lost and Found, launched on the market in 2005. The facet of Will Smith as a singer is undoubtedly important, but even more so is his professional career as an actor. In 1990, when he was already a young rapper with some success, the American television network NBC hired him to star in the series The Prince of Bel Air, produced by Warner. His argument was inspired in good part in the life of Will himself and reflected his character and the adventures he experienced when moving to Los Angeles. Fun, fresh and with a point of certain irreverence to many of the myths of the country, this series was a great success that overflowed all the most optimistic forecasts. His friend Jazzy Jeff also had a small role in the series, Jazz.

The prince of Bel Air became a world-wide television phenomenon that allowed Will Smith to give his big jump to the world of cinema without problems. In this way, in 1993 he participated in the filming of Made in America and Six degrees of separation, and from that moment on he succeeded his work in major film productions such as Bad Boys or Independence Day, his true consecration as an actor on the big screen.

It can be said that, since its debut, much of the success of the North American box office has had Will Smith in his cast: Men in Black (I and II), Public Enemy, Wild Wild West, The Legend of Bagger Vance and Bad Boys confirm this trend in his career. In spite of everything, in the year 2001 the actor decided to demonstrate his interpretative talent and accepted to carry out Ali, based on the life of the famous pugilist Muhammad Ali and directed by the prestigious Michael Mann. This film meant a resounding change in his career. It obtained an exceptional result and received numerous flatteries on the part of the critic.
