Will Smith, has proven with hard work and a great attitude you too can become one of Hollywood’s most sought after and respected actors.

Sunday night (April 11) the 47-year-old accepted MTV’s Generation Award, or as he jokingly called it “the old-ass dude” award for his continuous contributions to music and movies.

After co-host and fellow Philadelphian Kevin Hart introduced him followed by medley of his famous songs by The Lonely Island, Smith hugged and kissed his sons Trey and Jaden as he made his way to the stage to accept his golden popcorn.

“This is funny, because I was in Brooklyn the other day shooting and these women came out. They’re like 35, 40 years old and they’re screaming ‘Oh my God! Will! Will! Will!’ and I was like c’mon, you want to do a little Snapchat or something,” Smith said. “And they’re screaming, and then there’s this one kid and he’s like 8-years-old and he’s wrapped up and he’s all like ‘Oh my God! Oh my God! I don’t know who you are. I don’t know who you are.’ and I was like ah man. So I leaned down to him and said ‘I’m the Karate Kid’s dad’ then he’s like ‘Oh, that’s Jaden’s dad. That’s Jaden’s dad. So this is coming at the right time for me.”

#BBB NEWS| Will Smith’s ‘Concussion’ Inspired Teen To Decline Football Scholarships

Will Smith’s latest movie, Concussion, may not have hit the box office as hard as expected, but it left a lasting impression on one high school senior.

John Castello, a student from Pennsylvania, said that the film, which showcased the traumatic brain injuries that some NFL players experience, prompted him to decline 12 football scholarships at a dozen universities.

“The head injuries were a huge reason for my decision,” he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I’ve liked both football and basketball for some time. I wasn’t totally sure what I wanted to do. Then, that movie Concussion came out and some interviews came out. I watched one interview with Dr. Omalu where he was talking about [former Steelers center] Mike Webster. After watching that, I said it’s not worth it.”
The movie, which was released this past Christmas, saw Smith star as Bennett Omalu, a Nigerian doctor who approached the NFL with information about the damaging effects of football. Castello said the possibility of dementia, confusion, memory loss, and aggression as a result of the rigorous field activity in exchange for a full-ride through school just wasn’t worth it.

#BBB NEWS| Hill Harper Talks Playing The ‘Intellectual Villain’ Opposite Will Smith In ‘Concussion’

The wool will be pulled from over the eyes of football fans all over the world when Concussion—a film about the long term effects of repetitive head trauma football players experience, and the NFL’s attempts at keeping it under wraps–hits theaters.

Academy-Award nominated actor, Will Smith plays Dr. Bennett Omalu, an African-born forensic pathologist who, while doing the autopsy on 50-year-old Mike “Iron Mike” Webster of the Pittsburg Steelers, discovers what will later be known as Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy or CTE.

One of the many men working against Omalu is Chris Jones played by Hill Harper, who describes himself as the film’s “intellectual villain.”

#BBB NEWS| Will Smith Reveals The Real Reason He Turned Down ‘Django Unchained’

The Fresh Prince Will Smith once said that the starring role in Quentin Tarantino’s spaghetti western Django Unchained wasn’t “big enough” to be considered the lead. Now, almost two years later, the entertainer is changing his tune.

Smith, who will embark on a world tour with his friend DJ Jazzy Jeff in the future, said during The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Actor’s Roundtable that the film was too violent for him to consider being a part of. The role of Django went to Jamie Foxx instead.

“We can’t look at what happens in Paris and want to f**k somebody up for that,” he said in reference to the recent terrorist attacks in France. “Violence begets violence. I just couldn’t connect to violence being the answer. Love had to be the answer.” Tarantino’s films are known for their over-the-top violent scenes, and Big Willie wanted the film to be much more than the gore.
