I love Will Smith...always have. Loved him from the start, way back in the days of
"Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"
to every single movie I've seen of his... "Pursuit of Happyness," "Hitch," "I am Legend..."
I even have some of his CD's!!
He is amazing at everything he does, and I think he is a good role model.
He is just a positive guy, and exudes life! I have one more reason to add him to my list of favorites now, because we share the same beliefs.
(see article below)
People.com article with Will Smith:
On Monday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, DeGeneres noted that Will and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, have been married for 10 years, unheard of in Hollywood.
"It's like dog years when you're married here," she said. "That's like 50 years, right?
"What I found is divorce just can't be an option,"
the actor explained.
"It's really that simple. And I think that's the problem with L.A. – there are so many options.
So a huge part of the success for [Jada] and I is that we just removed the other options."
The secret to their success?
"We're like listen, we're going to be together one way or the other so we might as well try to be happy," he said.
Amen. I agree!! That is how I view marriage as well! Thanks Will. Thanks for standing up for what you believe and being an example to the world!!!
(I know this can be a sticky subject, and I do not wish to offend anyone. I know there are exceptions to divorce...but I am only sharing my belief on marriage and that I believe divorce is not an option(for me).)

LOVE LOVE LOVE Will Smith, and Jada is just gorgeous!
I thought you were going to say he converted to our church! :) That's way cool. He is a super cool guy and I feel the same way about divorce too. I like your post. :)
I'm with you 100% Jill! And don't ever apologize for YOUR beliefs. I feel the same way, but it doesn't mean that I think any less of my brother, brother-in-law, and friends who have gone through the heartache of divorce.
I heard about that on "The View". Of course, the ladies laughed at it, except for Elisabeth. I love her!
I agree. I love him too. I saw that episode of Ellen and I loved that comment. What a good guy!
I agree...way to go Will!!
Isn't that SO refreshing?!
I "Heart" Will Smith! He is a total Stud! Thanks for sharing his insights on marriage!
"In West Philadelphia, born and raised...." haha--love Will Smith too, from way back in the day! =) So with you on the perspective, it's all about the attitude & I've seen way to many unhappy divorces.
i totally agree with you. he is so great! i love his "big willie style" album...totally great workout music!! and can he be cuter to his wife? always "making sure she is happy" what a novel idea huh?!! yep, they are tops.
That is awesome! I so agree. It just isn't something that is even on the table
AMEN brother!!! I love it too!! And I think it is part of the answer for sure.....as long as were in this together we might as well be HAPPY. SO TRUE!!!
Not to rain on the parade or anything but I have have heard from several sources that Jada and Will have an "OPEN" Marriage. I don't know if it's true but it's a vigorous rumor, sorry if it is true and I shattered your ideal of him but I thought you should know!Let me know if you confirm or deny! Love Ya. Charissa
Char, I've heard them say before that they have crushes on other people...like she thought some guy was hot and he was okay with it. I don't know if it is any more open than that...I hope not.
That's awesome. I wish more people had views like that when things just get hard. Justin and I have always loved Will Smith, His movies, songs... etc.. I was just talking about him the other day with someone about how long he has been popular and is still going! Way back from DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, And Fresh Prince of Bel aire to now.

Jill, SO I got super curious if the rumor I told you about was true so I did some research to find out where it came from. The links are above that "supposidly" confirm that it's true. Take a look and let me know what ya think about the statement he made! I was suprised to hear that he actually made that statement but when he was on Oprah he made a silly comment that I thougth pointed to them having an open marriage as well. Crazy HU.
