Tribute July 2004 www.tribute.ca 23 cover 2 Smith Hollywood power couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith juggle fame and family
all it the summer of Smith — Will and Jada that is. The Tinseltown twosome has films battling for supremacy at the cbox office this summer — I, Robot for him and Collateral for her. The sci-fi thriller I, Robot marks Will Smith’s 13th feature film. “It’s a big Fox blockbuster, robots fighting, blowing up, it’s beautiful,” says Smith, who describes himself as a true science-fiction fan. “I play a detective who’s investigating the first robot on human murder.” In Michael Mann’s Collateral, Pinkett Smith is also on the right side of the law as a federal prosecutor opposite Tom Cruise, a hit man aiming to rub out four of her key witnesses (and has her marked for death as well). With successful film careers, and by all reports one of the strongest marriages in Hollywood today, the Smiths are a showbiz super couple who are just as happy snuggling on the red carpet as they are spending time at home with their kids. The charismatic Smith began his climb to stardom as half of the Grammy-winning duo D.J. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, and later rose to fame making his acting debut starring

It was a leap for the singer — but one he was ready to make. “When I came from rap music, I wasn’t trying to use the fact that I was a rapper to become an actor. I started at zero as an actor. Even with the Fresh Prince, I was like, ‘I’m not rapping on this show.’ They talked me into the opening credits, but I said, ‘When I do this show, I’m strictly an actor,’” he explains. The role allowed him to present a squeaky clean image of hip-hop culture, which proved non-threatening to primetime values. The show also led to a fortuitous meeting with a young actress from Baltimore named Jada Pinkett. The petite brunette auditioned for the role of Smith’s girlfriend, but didn’t get the job, with producers figuring she was too short (5’2”) to play opposite Smith, who is a foot taller. However, Pinkett was busy making her own way on television, landing a role on The Cosby Show spin-off A Different World. She made her feature film debut two years later in Menace II Society. Later, she caught Hollywood’s eye opposite Eddie Murphy in the l996 movie The Nutty Professor, which led to roles in Scream 2, Kingdom Come and most recently, as Niobe in The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions. In the years after their first encounter, the two remained friends and were married on New Year’s Eve, 1997. The couple now has three children, son Jaden, daughter Willow and son Willard Smith III (Trey), from Smith’s first mar- riage to Sheree Zampino which ended in divorce in 1995. The couple and Zampino are still friendly for the sake of Trey (who Pinkett Smith lovingly refers to as her “bonus child”). “Sheree and I have done such a good job trying to Affter huge success on TV, Smith made the leap to overcome differences like two grown women,” Pinkett movies.
