Many people might think that it was fate that brought him into show business and luck pursued him toward stardom. But it’s not as easy as it seems from the comfort of home screens because the actor invested himself in what people neglect most of the time.

Back in 2007, Will Smith sat down with the CBS News’ Steve Kroft to talk about his career and the success he gained in the past years. During the conversation, the actor admitted that he loves his life and there is nothing to hide about it. He knew that whenever he stepped on stage; he left an impact on the audience.

When the retired journalist asked him about how he became successful, he spilled the biggest secret. In his response, the Bad Boys star revealed he does not think he is extremely talented, but just a step ahead of average talent. “And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy’s sleeping? I’m working,” he told the publication.

So the 54-year-old found success in the small practices and has worked hard for his dreams. This is why currently he is one of the most bankable stars in the entertainment world.
