Will Smith earned the nickname "Prince" from his grade-school teachers because this smooth-talking tyke from West Philadelphia was more charming than any monarch's son. Smith completed his nom de rap by tacking on "fresh" (a popular hip-hop adjective of the mid-eighties), and the Fresh Prince tapped his considerable charisma to become a Grammy-winning musician, the star of a long-running sitcom, and--returning to his birth name--a big-screen action hero.
A born entertainer, Will started rapping at the age of twelve and shortly thereafter teamed up with Jeff Townes, who, as Jazzy Jeff, became the Fresh Prince's musical partner. Eight years later, the duo had produced two platinum albums, including the Grammy-winning He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper.It featured the crossover hit single "Parents Just Don't Understand" and scads of clever, gangsta-free lyrics that elicited knowing chuckles from middle-American teenagers. With musical success achieved, Will wanted to try acting to several business associates, including Warner Bros. It turned out that Medina (Warner Bros..) had been unsuccessfully pitching a sitcom based on his demographically diverse life. Medina thought that Will would be perfect for it. According to Hollywood legend, Will read the script for NBC's suits with such élan that they bought the concept on the spot. Fresh Prince of Bel Air premiered in 1990, and with its well-timed quips and pratfalls from Smith, the successful show stayed on the air for six years.
Will grew up middle class and did so well in school that M.I.T. offered him a scholarship, which he refused in order to pursue a show-business career. A millionaire by age eighteen, Smith was nonetheless deeply indebted to the I.R.S. when he landed the sitcom. The series' success enabled Smith to not only remedy his I.O.U.s, but also establish a well-connected professional family. Which included Denzel Washington. It was Washington who counselled Smith on how to proceed with his first starring movie role, as a young gay con man in Six Degrees of Separation (1993). Although it was scripted that his character would kiss another man, Will didnt really want to do that, so he talked to the producer and said that the kiss has to be fake.
For his follow-up flick, Smith teamed with fellow sitcom star Martin Lawrence in the action-heavy, Bad Boys (1995). The buddy movie was a smash, Will's asking price rose to $5 million per film, and offers poured in. He got to play a heroic fighter pilot in the surefire blockbuster Independence Day (1996). Sadly, as the actor's stardom was growing, his three-year-old marriage to
Sheree Zampino was falling apart. The couple divorced in December 1995, and Smith relinquished primary custody of their son William C. "Trey" Smith III. Will has now gotten married to Jada Pinkett. And Will and Jada just had a baby not to long ago.
