<p>Will Smith is one of those names in the entertainment industry who doesn&#8217;t need an introduction. His success story is an inspiration to many aspiring actors around the globe. From becoming a Grammy-winning rapper to an Oscar-winning actor, he has come a long way. After decades, he is still regarded as one of the most bankable stars. The <em>Bad Guys</em> star is the only artist to have starred in eight consecutive films, making profits of over $100 million.</p>

<p>In 2007, the American superstar was called “the most powerful actor in Hollywood&#8221; by a magazine. And this might be surprising for many that he even turned down a scholarship offer to become a musician. While the 54-year-old star started his acting career with the popular sitcom <em>The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,</em> which became a watershed moment for hip-hop and black television. But do you know that the actor was rejected by Michael Jordan during that peak time?</p>
<h2><strong>Michael Jordan once declined a request from Will Smith </strong></h2>
<p>During his latest appearance on the <em>All The Smoke</em> show, Will Smith revealed how he once begged Michael Jordan for a new pair of shoes. Decades ago, the actor kick-started his career as an actor with the 90s cultural television show. The American star used to wear Jordan shoes on <em>The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air </em>show, and he liked the idea of popularizing the brand through the show and asked for a new pair.</p>

<p><em>“I was literally calling Jordan like ‘Mike, please, please don’t give them to nobody. Let me be the first person, I gotta be the first person to wear it,&#8221;</em> explained the <em>Suicide Squad</em> star.</p>

<p>But the NBA legend <a href="https://basketballforever.com/2022/12/05/will-smith-tells-story-about-mj-turning-him-down-during-fresh-prince-years" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turned him down</a> at that time saying, &#8220;<em>Man, I don’t run that,</em>” since the 59-year-old football icon was only an endorser for Nike&#8217;s Air Jordan sneakers. However, in 2013, Jordan did honor the contribution of the <em>Ali</em> star and named a new pair of Air Jordan ‘Bel-Air.’ Later in 2018, they released a new version of shoes and named them French Prince, which is commonly associated with the actor.</p>
