0:00 thank you [Music] so you guys know about we were talking about this earlier like sometimes parents pressure their kids into careers that they didn't want yeah Will Smith has shared that he regrets uh pushing his kids into acting really why did he push his kids or did his kids get pulled into acting so true I mean Jaden Smith is weird and he's probably like man acting did this ████ so I should have told him to be an engineer ████ him up so Jaden and Willow have admitted they were unhappy with their father for pushing them into this Spotlight at a young age although the kids careers were taking off the uh King Richard Starr confessed that his family didn't share the same sentiments as their father 2010 was like the greatest years an artist as
0:50 a parent Karate Kid came out in June with my hair came out in October if you remember Jaden Smith had Karate Kid Willow Smith had with my hair uh Smith shared on Kevin's heart and Kevin Hart's Heart to Heart series I'm building this dream of a family I've had in my mind I'm gonna do it better than my father did it and so maybe he overcompensated a little bit right with just those two projects probably set them up for life for real dude Willows she got a crazy uh song out that out I can't I love dude I whip my hair back and forth no not that one it's like there's a crazy voice yeah sing it sing it yeah really that's uh wait a minute yeah I don't hear the weight I don't hear any of it sounds like an Indian song I hear a I think no it sounds like that yeah
1:41 I swear to God the third time I was like yep that's it I swear to God every time I play it crazy in the gym everyone's like who is this you can play it from your phones but we'll get it we'll get it down yeah come on dude it's too sick I'm sure you guys heard it too it's very good so what was it so what was he supposed to do is push him into what they're in the biz you know well look I think this is one of those affluent guilt things yeah I think so too was he supposed to tell them to be a scientist or some ████ you guys ready yeah [Music] say something say something say something oh my God this is commentary blah blah blah we're commenting it's fair use it's gonna come on soon it's gonna come on soon you guys know this song yeah
2:35 I know it actually is really cool it's a very good song I love this song they're very talented I mean I came from um a music family so it's like wouldn't it be stupid for my parents to never even let me touch the instruments and like not even let me explore with that but I think they didn't career eyes you um they were trying to they were trying to but I just sucked at it they were trying to make your Prof they're trying to make you a professional at five years old they were trying to get me toward that route at five like at a really young age and me and my brother and we both resisted it I'll say this if you were if Will Smith was your dad I don't think he could make you go into acting Joe just called what was going to do with Joe whatever that is yeah that's true because that's the scary part yeah
3:25 the scary part too with us and Tycho where I'm like there's a difference between passing down the skill or craft versus career Rising them at that age or like giving them a job what's the difference for you well the minute that your your earner and you're trading your time for money like you're turning into employee like right away and I feel like you start losing out on your childhood like crazy you're not gonna explore the phase anymore and you only have this phase of your life to explore make mistakes and do all that versus like now Jaden and Willow are going to board meetings exec meetings got to meet with Studios you know like you have to meet with your client like there's all these other business really stiff things that it's like you kind of just take the fun out like maybe acting could have been really
4:15 fun and you just took all the fun away there's so much pressure being that one identity if you're not even sure that's the identity yeah yeah yeah hot take too I think that it's scapegoating I think I think when based on the kind of weird mantras that we've already seen Will and Jada have and the way they raise their kids and the ████ unrealistic Mansion they grew up in they're not going to turn out like normal people that's very true it's like it's it's already a given like they're not going to have normal interactions with other kids they're going to have a lot of ████ complications I don't think it can be uh I don't think it can be centered on whether they chose acting or not and just because they're willing Jada's kids they're already put on a pedestal or yeah like a star power that is not going to be like normal they've raised them to be anything but normal like whether they were actors or ████ botanists they're gonna be the weirdest ████ botanists at the place they did make them pretty weird so will says nobody in my family
5:06 was happy no one wanted to be in a platoon like they're at War together basically Willow was the first one to begin the Mutiny and it was my first realization that success and money don't mean happiness up until that point I really believe that you could succeed your way to a house and family and you could win your way to happiness I think that's a pretty like yeah vulnerable thing to say that's very vulnerable do you feel like it's conveniently vulnerable though I think he's not the most liked person right now and saying ████ like this helps she's not I think will is still likable yeah it just feels like what's going on in their marriage to where like she's she just doesn't like you so much like where did you ████ up but also it's like will what's behind like after that
5:57 slap I was like you used to be likable but you're also a little ████ man that's a lot yeah that was a lot and then that both that couple I'm just like I don't know what's under what's going on that's ████ weird I'm I grew up such a big Will Smith fan so I want to put all the blame on Jada and I'll take him exonerated yeah like she's the one messing with him she's messing with his brain and I think that's what the reason is so I'll stick with that do you think it's kind of ironic when someone goes yeah I learned this lesson about life but yet they've acted in so many episodes that taught that lesson and the shows they've been in that's such a unique take yeah I've never heard that thing because he should just re-watch the Freshman yeah oh ████ yeah learn from your own project yeah like Tim Allen one day going I should have improved my home his house is just ████ ████ it was
6:47 definitely not a method actor yeah yeah or or what if you just were to like watch all the episodes and then just take note of Uncle Phil because he seems like the best dad ever or Julia white going I think family does that I'm alone family it's like really okay because I learned that from you doing it that's crazy where the ████ did you learn it wow so in 2012 Willow shaved her head bald in the middle of her Whip My Hair toward the send a message to her father whoa she's over father halfway through the tour she wanted it out he insisted she continued with the plan shows prompting the then 11 year old to take drastic measures see that's tough when you're career rising and you're 11 yeah and you're on tour yeah that's a big responsibility the formula already yeah and you got like thousands of people buying tickets she's like oh I'll do this anymore I don't want to perform it
7:37 I already did like 37 cities yeah you got 12 more to do yeah almost there almost there sweetheart also you know what I didn't realize she was um Will Smith's kid in I Am Legend oh really yeah Willow was yeah she played his daughter and then his son his kid in Pursuit yeah yeah and he's yelling at him the whole time yeah that's tough man they were babies back then yeah they were so cute man another all weird and teenagers they are weird with Jaden that was their that was their box office bomb that was what killed Jaden Smith's career business really wait what killed his career after after Earth movie with him and Jaden and it was father son but like it bombed so they blamed Jaden basically is that the one where he's like will has like a CG version himself that's younger uh no that's a different one oh did that bomb
8:27 too that's Gemini man oh ████ bomb big time the hope for that movie was hilarious though it was like Will Smith like against himself in the mirror and like wouldn't everyone like to see this movie and I was like I don't give up it was like him versus his Fresh Prince self and you know to Will Smith he's like that's insane okay so that's tight yeah yeah but everyone's like I don't need to see this movie a lot of the movies that he did like with Sony you're just more like I don't know I remember in high school I saw seven pounds and it was like a really sad ████ movie but you're like yeah but you know at the time like when I was I was in high school when I went to go see with all my friends and ████ and I was like this is a bummer I know right you thought it was like a ████ things and you're just like what are you trying to say welcome to Earth I don't
9:17 want to hear him saying Hell No or something yeah do you guys think an insane amount of money makes parenting easier or harder I think just harder challenges different challenges that not a lot of people know how to handle I had an X was Rich As ████ parents never met more bored people in my life and they were so involved in the girl the girl's life that it was like it was like obstructive like it was like you are so bored and you go to the so the worst thing is to the community right they go to lunches with Rich doctors and dentists and ████ like that and then everyone has to compare their kids to each other like as a almost like sounds like an Asian family we all have the same watches and Status symbols and houses and square footage but how are your kids doing and how are they doing like on this the status true yeah yeah
10:07 yeah yeah that's everything oh my kid's a doctor he's a surgeon he's at Harvard or whatever if you don't have that then then you can't brag this one right she has to try to talk about your watch collection but everybody already has that it's weird right because it's all checklisted now yeah yeah that makes sense so I don't think what else is next um if you've already can if you can already get everything because I always wonder that too about people that are very powerful or very rich right they're like okay well what's next you're like 80 years old you're probably about to die what do you want and what kind of moves are you trying to make in the world you already have all this power influence money um I hope it's not Sinister but that's what I wonder because everyone needs purpose and like the next thing that they do usually turn into some sort of contribution yeah I hope so we'll give them back hopefully yeah yeah yeah
10:58 end up having purpose and fulfill from just that yeah like the Jeffrey Epstein Foundation yeah great Foundation great beautiful examples [Music] [Laughter] we'll never know what happened you're buying a ████ floor tile in the Virgin Islands with your name on it yes I got it can I see it no but it's there oh thanks that's that's the funny thing that's different too is that it depends what you want for your kid right like some people just want their kid to continue whatever Legacy that they are part of like yeah yeah we we're part of this family that has this business you're the next one to take it and they don't give a ████ how you turn out as a person but then if you're in the Limelight like Will Smith is he's expected to still be a good dad to the public so he has to say this or else
11:49 people don't want to buy his ████ that's why I don't really buy it because I'm like you're supposed to be a good parent yeah it's not that your kids are in limelights that you still are okay to push back what if like Will Smith had so much money what does he care if you buy his new thing what about that yeah what about that Ryan because his career going down whether it's money or not it's still Pride I'm sure he doesn't want to look like he doesn't want to be remembered as the guy who ████ ████ slaps somebody yeah you can't have that be your book end like it's pretty ████ rough man because if you have money what else do you want is probably reputation because you work so hard for Bill building a brand and reputation how do you like and in one moment dude it's a little bit yeah it's like it's a little unraveling because then people are like taking back how they felt about it you forgot he won Oscar yeah yeah until I heard this I I almost forgot that I don't want this guy's life so
12:40 like I used to think oh he probably has a really sick life because he's such a wholesome dude he didn't have to be corrupt whatever and then you go wait he's in an unhappy marriage his kids are ████ batshit crazy they don't care about him or it appears that way right and I'm like that I don't know there seems like there's something off yeah that doesn't seem like a good loving family to me or maybe they're just going through it no you're like turbulent I think you're right no the internet says he's a cook so he probably is yeah it doesn't seem like a great place weird isn't it they're like these articles have been popping up they're like oh what happened to this Hollywood star and I actually like those because it's they're the ones that like did a crazy one or two movies and then they just went back to a small town and and I think to the regular person they're like oh they fell off or whatever but I actually think that's the smartest move is you just now go back to
13:31 your simple life but you're just set now you never did that and you know I'm guilty of this because I love him Rick Moranis and earlier today we were talking about how much we love Rick Moranis off camera man yeah and but he his wife died of like cancer and he had to go home and raise his kids and he chose to raise him in a small town and this is like after all his success and stuff like that and the Honey I Shrunk the Kids franchise he tried it in a small town he tried in a small town and that's the thing and now he's a white supremacist in the face happy ending you gotta punch the face in New York no but he um he raised his kids he raises kids and like you know in a the way he wanted to right out of Hollywood out of all that ████ yeah and like yeah he's irrespectful and he's actually come out recently and said he has no regrets he's so happy to go for him yeah it's awesome is he gonna star in honey I tried that in a small town
