After going through a journey to silence, Will Smith reintroduces himself in King Richard and reveals some secrets. Know what he says.

“I was reintroducing myself back to working more consistently”: Will Smith Opens Up About His Experience Working On King Richard

A publically open life gives you fame and glory, but at the same time, it can be
tiring sometimes. Dealing with your own self and processing takes time, and it
takes a lot of courage to do so. David Letterman in his Netflix show My Next
Guest Needs No Introduction has brought so many heart-wrenchingly honest stories
this time. King Richards star Will Smith appeared on the show and exposed
himself on a deeper level.

In My Next Guest Needs No Introduction
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/my-next-guest-needs-no-introduction], Will Smith
shares some inspiring stories about him struggling to cope with and control his
feelings. Towards the end of a one-hour-long talk, Will talked about how he took
some time off of work to introspect and how he came back to his glamorous life
again.


WILL SMITH OPENS UP ABOUT TAKING TIME OFF

Just after his father died, Will [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith]
realised he needed to work on himself. He went into isolation and stayed there
until he faced his worst fears and learnt how to control them. For 14 days,
throughout 2 years, 14 times, he stopped talking to anyone and introspected his
feelings and thoughts.

This helped him see the madness
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-it-helped-me-see-will-smith-opens-up-about-the-time-he-went-14-days-without-speaking-a-single-word/]
going inside his head. Because of this experience, he could confront his fears
and could overcome them. It made him see some really different aspects of
himself as well as life. And this helped him come back with a bang. Indeed, he
came with a bang with Richard Williams.


ACTOR TALKS ABOUT HIS NEW MOVIE KING RICHARD

As this experience took him to a deeper level of his feelings, Will said he came
back with a lot more energy and the side of himself that he also didn’t know
existed. When David Letterman
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-fans-highlight-the-awkwardness-of-having-to-add-a-disclaimer-in-the-will-smith-episode-of-the-david-letterman-show/]
asked him about King Richard, Will Smith excitedly said, “I was reintroducing
myself back to working more consistently” After a break, this was the first
movie that he worked in.

Losing his father recently and facing his own fears, he said, this journey had
helped him to develop trust and love for himself that he never had. When David
says he wants to talk about King Richard, he exposes, “My experiences, and my
life, and the writing of this book, have unlocked a part of me, as an actor,
that is nothing I’ve ever experienced.”

His experiences in silence made him look at his life and understand his father.
These realisations contributed to his understanding of the character Richard
Williams. What this character and Will’s father had common? Just like the
character in the movie, Will’s father was also a “post-World War 2,
African-American male with a dream and no support.” Being able to relate to the
character on a deeper level, on an emotional and psychological level, Will says,
after this, his life is so exciting and he is satisfied that he can reach people
differently, largely because of his pain.

An actor goes through extremely intense psychological changes as he/she plays
various characters. Their personal-life problems and needs are cherry on top.
Will’s journey is one such example. But he could make the best of it by coming
back stronger than before. Have you watched this inspiring interview on Netflix
