One unplanned scene in Emancipation took Will Smith off unprepared.
The actor, 54, discusses his makeover for the new film alongside Willow, 22, Jaden, 24, and Trey Smith, 30. Will portrays Peter, a slave who escapes in Antoine Fuqua’s Emancipation. Will remembers a costar “ad-libbing” by spitting on him in an exclusive footage.
“I’ve become more entrenched into these characters each time,” he said. “And it’s the story’s weight, the performers’ excellence. Emotionally, physically, and spiritually draining.” “One of the first days on set, one of the actors bends down in my face and says, ‘You a cold one, ain’t you?'” Will said, simulating spitting on Willow while his kids giggled.
Will laughed, “Makeup! Yes, but… Every performer on site was serious.”
Will claims he almost “lost himself” in a character for the first time in Emancipation. It has surprises from Fuqua, Foster, and Bright. Will Smith’s Red Table Talk Takeover with Willow, Jaden, and Trey is available Wednesday on Facebook Watch. Apple TV+ has Emancipation.
