Alas, Smith had to face humiliation and pain from his relationship with Jada Smith even after becoming a huge Hollywood star

Do you know the tale of Will Smith’s ascent to fame as a significant figure and prominent Hollywood actor? What is the key to his success? He did, however, once make a startling confession that clarified his rise to fame. The actor, 55, once ironically claimed in an interview for Variety’s Actors on Actors special that his rise to fame was due to a girlfriend who, regrettably, cheated on him when he was only 15.

As a result of this unanticipated turn of events, one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars developed a distinctive perspective on life that ultimately shaped his acting career and contributed to his success. From that point forward, in a strange psychological twist, he wanted to be the most well-known entertainer on the planet because he thought his girlfriend could not possibly betray him.
