Will Smith detailed his goals in life moving forward after evading a question about his net worth, which comes after the actor shuttered his charity organization nearly two years to the day he infamously slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
The Oscar-winning actor, 55, speaking with Complex correspondent Speedy Morman in a 360 with Speedy segment published Tuesday, was asked if a reported $350 million net worth gleaned via a Google search was accurate.
The Emancipation star said he’s seen other successful celebrities change their lives around the age of 50, citing Jim Carrey as an example of a ‘drastic public transformation in that way.’
The interview with was published Tuesday, when Variety reported that Smith and his spouse Jada Pinkett Smith, 52, are shuttering their charity organization, the Will and Jada Smith Family Foundation, following a massive dip in donations since the 2022 Oscars.
Wednesday marks the two-year anniversary of Smith’s infamous slap of Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars on March 27, 2022, in which he slapped comedian Chris Rock after he made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
The joke was about her shaved head, saying, ‘Jada, I love you, G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it!’ in a reference to the 1997 movie which featured Demi Moore with a shaved head. (Pinkett Smith has diagnosed with alopecia, which causes hair loss.)
In an apology he issued in July of 2022 over the incident in an online clip, Smith said his spouse ‘had nothing to do with’ his attack on Rock.
