Will Smith is a prominent and well-known actor in the entertainment world who is noted for his ability to seamlessly blend into any role he takes on. Will has the power to make you feel that a character was written specifically for him when you see him on screen portraying it, and only a few actors in the industry have that skill. 

During a recent interview with GQ's series "Actually Me," Will Smith responded to a few questions from the audience. One fan questioned on Quora, "In your opinion, what is Will Smith's worst and best film?"

The actor promptly retorted that it's a tie for best film between the two films, "Men in Black"and, "The Pursuit of Happyness”. He added, “For different reasons, those are the two almost-perfect movies.”

Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith star in Gabriele Muccino's American biographical movie The Pursuit of Happyness. The film was based on Chris Gardner and Quincy Troupe's novel "The Pursuit of Happiness." Gardner's one-year struggle as a homeless person is depicted in the film.

‘Men in Black' is a 1997 American science fiction action comedy film starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as two MIB secret operatives. Extraterrestrial life forms that reside on Earth and disguise their existence were under the watchful eye of the two agents. 

For the worst, the highly acclaimed actor said,“I don't know, Wild Wild West is a thorn in my side. I don't like seeing myself in chaps.” In 1999, Robert Conrad, Ross Martin, Kevin Kline, and others stared in the film Wild Wild West.

Will Smith's worst film was a box office disaster that earned mixed reviews from reviewers. The film was so awful that it took home five trophies out of eight nominations at the Golden Raspberry Awards event, which honors the year's worst films.

Will Smith reportedly turned down the role of Neo in "The Matrix,"which went on to become one of the highest-rated and critically acclaimed films of all time, in favor of the flop Wild Wild West.

The actor has revealed the title and cover of his upcoming autobiography, titled ‘WILL,' which will be released on November 9th, 2021. In Autumn 2021, he will embark on a book tour that will include stops in Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Chicago, Los Angeles, and London. 

In ‘King Richard,' which also stars Richard Williams, the actor will play the father of tennis champions Serena and Venus Williams. Recently, the actor expressed his hesitation to participate in a film about slavery, as he does in Antoine Fuqua's ‘Emancipation,’ in which he will portray a slave on a Louisiana plantation.

Will revealed his thoughts on the subject, saying, "I've always avoided creating films about slavery, "he began, "In the early part of my career... I didn't want to portray Black people in such a negative manner. I aspired to be a superhero when I was younger. As a result, I wanted to show Black greatness alongside white excellence. I wanted to play parts that you'd cast Tom Cruise in.”

Will Smith revealed that he turned down Quentin Tarantino's invitation to star in "Django Unchained" because he didn't want to make a revenge film about slavery.
