A murit tatal lui Will Smith - ce spunea actorul despre el

Willard Carroll Smith Sr, tatal lui Will Smith, a murit.

Vestea trista a fost data de Sheree Fletcher, fosta sotia a lui Will (cu care a fost casatorit intre 1992 si 1995 si impreuna cu care il are pe Trey, 23 de ani).

Sheree a pus o poza cu Willard, Will si Trey, in dreptul careia a notat:

We're gonna miss you Daddio! You lived & played by your own rules... You truly were 1 of a kind! You instilled discipline, and a work ethic that has created a legacy in your honor!

Smith inca nu a confirmat vestea.

Willard a lucrat in US Air Force, iar in cartea Will Smith: A Biography scrie despre cum el este cel care l-a indepartat pe fiul sau de droguri - cand era tanar, l-a dus cu masina in cartierele din Philadephia pentru a-i arata cum traiesc oamenii care folosesc acele substante.

Will Smith a vorbit mereu despre influenta pozitiva pe care a avut-o tatal sau in viata lui:

Dad was tough but not tyrannical. He kept me in line. He'd get this look that said, 'One more step, Will, and it'll get ugly. 'He was an independent businessman - he set up refrigeration in supermarkets - and he always provided for us. He's a steady and positive figure in my life.
