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.

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.

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.

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.
