Over the years, the greatest actor in Hollywood has often been a hot topic of contention. It has often been complicated, granted its subjective, and comparison between actors from different timelines can be difficult. Meanwhile, a convincing case can be made for Will Smith. The list of the greatest actors in Hollywood is incomplete without the Men In Black star. However, as they say, the road to the top is never an easy one. Despite an incredible career, the actor has had his share of failures. And recently, the actor opened up about the greatest failure in his acting career.

Looking back at the super successful career Will Smith enjoys, it is often difficult to imagine any of his failures. Even though the actor gave countless memorable films over the years, a handful few did not leave up to his expectations. Fitting the bill was the 2013 film After Earth, which the actor considers his most agonizing setback. The actor revealed his true feelings about After Earth‘s performance. The sci-fi film performed decently at the box office grossing almost $243 million around the world with a $130 million budget.

However, the I Am Legend star added that owing to his son Jaden’s involvement in the movie, his feelings about the film’s failure intensified. To add fuel to the fire, film Smith gave massive hits, including Hancock and Hitch, grossing almost $1000 million which After Earth could not match.

It might be surprising to know, but the aftermath of the film’s performance did not leave early. Strange as it sounds, the actor refused to star in the sequel of his incredibly successful film, Independence Day. However, Smith surely learned a valuable lesson in the process. Apart from this, the actor revealed how, following After Earth, his views toward success and craftsmanship completely changed.

Despite the movie not matching the box office collections of Fresh Prince’s previous movies, it has still found its place on the American OTT platform, Netflix after all these years.
