<p>Will Smith has been in the<strong> public eye since a very young age</strong>. Even before his acting debut in <em>The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air</em> at 21, he was a rap artist and musician. Moreover, the <em>Independence day</em> actor himself is quite<strong> open to sharing his life</strong> publicly; the good and the not-so-good alike. Whether it is his<strong> professional achievements, vacations, altercations, or even family matters</strong>, he has always been transparent.</p>
<div class="flex-video widescreen youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="A Smith Family Vacation" width="1170" height="658" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PWdPLZvdO_I?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>Speaking of Will&#8217;s family, the actor has been <strong>more than vocal about his father and the impact he has had on his life.</strong> However, when it came to <strong>his mom</strong>, the <em>Bad Boys</em> star was always <strong>more reserved</strong>. If you wonder why that is, <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/">Will Smith</a> shared it all in an interview from 1998. Let us find out the details.</p>

<h2>Why did Will Smith hardly ever talk about his mother?</h2>
<p>In an exclusive interview with RollingStone, Smith <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/will-smith-big-willie-style-202597/2/">opened up</a> a little about his mother. When asked if &#8220;<em>she is pretty,</em>&#8221; the Fresh Prince laughed out and replied, &#8220;<em>My mom&#8217;s fine!</em>&#8221; he even <strong>declared that his own personality mimics his mom</strong> more than his dad. According to Will, his mother is spontaneous and just &#8220;<em>can&#8217;t sit still.</em>&#8221;</p>

<p>Talking about his formative years, Smith revealed his mother shaped his<em> &#8220;emotional development.&#8221; </em>This <strong>differed greatly from his father, who would beat him </strong>&#8220;<em>into shipshape</em>&#8221; as a child. Smith spoke fondly of his mother and even revealed why it was difficult for him to talk about her.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>I don’t talk as much about her because it takes me to a real vulnerable space,</em>&#8221; shared the <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-watch-will-smith-iconic-performance-of-his-grammy-winning-men-in-black-title-track/"><em>Men in Black</em></a> star.</p>

<p>Will even narrated an amusing anecdote to better describe his mom. <strong>She raised Will and her other sons to be gentlemanly</strong> and hold open the car passenger door for her. Will Smith still remains very close to his mother. In fact, <strong>his mom, Caroline</strong>, is often outspoken about her son. She even expressed her views on the infamous <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-are-chris-rock-and-will-smith-friends-how-did-the-slapgate-affect-their-friendship/">Oscar Slap-gate</a> controversy between Smith and comedian Chris Rock.</p>
