That awful moment when you learn that this wasn’t scripted. That Will Smith’s character was actually supposed to brush off the whole thing, but Will’s father actually had left him when he was younger and he just fell apart on the set and the hug at the end was from one actor to another, not one character to another…
STOP SPREADING THIS FUCKING LIE. THIS WAS SCRIPTED. WILL SMITH’S FATHER WAS ALWAYS IN HIS LIFE. STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT. HE IS A WONDERFUL ACTOR AND HE MADE THIS BELIEVABLE, THAT IS ALL. FUCKING WHITE PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE EVERY BLACK PERSON’S SUCCESS BASED IN “THIS WAS THEIR REALITY” FUCK YOU.
His father featured on the left.
Reblogging since I spread the lie once or twice before. In fact, here’s a source for the truth.
damn son
Wow…doesn’t make that scene any less powerful….but really good to know….Feeling kind of ashamed of myself for assuming the former to be true.
