I wouldn’t. He’s always been a cocky prick. You could see it come out in interviews sometimes.
He basically physically threatened Colbert while being interviewed on his show for his role in Ali. Will Smith is charming, so he’s gotten away with a lot. The mask is off now though.
Edit: the Colbert interview was for Hancock, not Ali.
So when he made a comment about how Stephen must have been beaten up at some point? I mean. That’s reaching. it was awkward, but imo really doesn’t rise to “basically physically threatened.” Especially since Colbert has had him on his shows repeatedly afterwards, you’d think that if Stephen didn’t feel safe around him, probly wouldn’t have him back on.
On another note, god I miss the Colbert Report. That was peak satire.
That’s how veiled threats work. There was nothing wrong with Colbert’s face. Smith brought up someone kicking his ass out of nowhere. Colbert understood and even said something like “I hope nobody kicks my ass this interview”. Smith later states how he’s handsome and strong. Etc.
Do you not understand how banter works? Have you never had a conversation with friends before? I mean the guy is a douche but you don’t need to just make wild shit up, there’s plenty of ACTUAL things he’s done to not like him before you start lying
Perhaps you just didn’t pick up on the threat, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. It was obvious enough for me to notice it and remember it 16 years later.
You think I just kept that interview in my pocket that long waiting for the right opportunity to… lie about Will Smith? And that seems to make you angry?
This is Jaden isn’t it? I just found Jaden Smith on Lemmy.
I mean, he also broke into his Muhammad Ali act around the same time, so it could have come from there, but I guess I see your point? I’m just not prepared to judge the guy based upon that.

Ali came out in 2001, while The Colbert Report didn’t Debut until 2005. link?
You’re right it was an interview for Hancock.

You’re an idiot.
Feel better?
How can eyes be real if our eyes see no real eyes

I watched the whole thing, no where in that does he threaten anyone. He’s a pompous douche promoting his movie but he doesn’t remotely threaten anyone
