McCarthy?


WILL SMITH TALKED ABOUT HIS TRANSFORMATION TO DR. BENNET OMALU WITH KEVIN
MCCARTHY

In 2015, Will Smith sat down with Fox 5’s entertainment reporter, Kevin
McCarthy, to talk about his movie Concussion. During the interview, the film
critic asked the actor how he changed himself to embody the character of Dr.
Bennet Omalu.



In his response to the answer, the hip-hop star stated that he observed the
forensic pathologist. He spent time with the real-life figure and the makeover
did the rest of it. “We had the prosthetics that glued my ears back so that you
know,” explained the Grammy-winning singer.
