Will Smith is many things: actor, writer, director, and rapper. But the superstar has one more hyphenate to add to the list: practical joker. Will been open about his love of pranks in the past, and even spoke to host Graham Norton on “The Graham Norton Show” about how much fun he had playing jokes on his “Collateral Beauty” co-star Naomie Harris. “What’s funny is that Naomie is so serious and so focused on set that she never sees the practical joke coming. I mean I had a thing where I had a little bit of an injury I had ‘dog jaw,’ you ever heard of it?” Smith asked Norton. After Graham confirmed he had not, Smith leaned in and barked in Norton’s face.
Smith played a much more elaborate joke on his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith in the early days of their relationship. Per Tiktoker @CelebrityMemoirBookClub, Jada had recently filmed a graphic sex scene in the movie “Jason’s Lyric” shortly after she and Will began dating. Naturally, the first time that Jada went to meet Will’s grandmother, he arranged it so that he and his grandmother would be watching the sex scene at the very moment his then-girlfriend walked in. “When [Jada] walked in, my grandmother was in the middle of the scene and she looked up and said to Jada, ‘When I was growing up people didn’t have to take their clothes off to make a movie,” Smith recalled, per the Independent.
