MODEST movie star Will Smith has revealed his own key to ‘happyness’ – working hard and making love.
And the Grammy award winning rapper and actor, who says he has never thought of himself as “particularly talented”, says the secret to his success is a “sickening work ethic”.
Smith, 39, is set to star in new Hollywood blockbuster ‘I Am Legend’, in which he holds the screen alone for over an hour as the survivor of biological outbreak that has wiped out most of the world.
One of the most popular actors in Hollywood, he has two Oscar nominations and Pounds 2,250,000 million box office receipts to his credit.
Asked what he thinks his appeal is, he said: “I love living, I think that’s infectious. It’s somethin’ that you can’t fake.
“And I think that the camera can feel that I’m happy doin’ what I do. And it’s somethin’ that gets inside of people.
“I’ve never really viewed myself as particularly talented. I’ve viewed myself as slightly above average in talent,” he told US TV.
“And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy’s sleeping? I’m working.
“While the other guy’s eatin’? I’m working. While the other guy’s making love, I mean, I’m making love, too. But I’m working really hard at it,” he laughed.
LA-based Smith, who is married to actress Jada Pinkett-Smith, stars in the new movie alongside the couple’s daughter Willow. Their son Jayden also hit the silver screen in Smith’s last film ‘The Pursuit Of Happyness’.
