Will Smith passing through Belgium for the Ronquières Festival: “I went through a period of deep reflection after the Oscars”

“I went through a period of deep reflection after the Oscars (Editor’s note: Will Smith experienced a real bad buzz after slapping Chris Rock during the ceremony in 2022. Consequently, the humorist joked about his wife’s alopecia). For example, I was forced to take stock of myself and my career. Nevertheless, But instead of collapsing, I found a new energy, a creativity that materialized in music, in songs. In addition, It’s a new chapter that starts, and I’m really enthusiastic because the challenge is enormous. Meanwhile, The music actually brings me back to my roots. Meanwhile, My acting career had somehow drowned this part of my life “he confides to Adil El Arbi.

It must be said that music is a family story. since Will Smith’s children, Jaden and Willow, also lead a full -time career. “”It puts pressure on me to be as good as them. to be able to offer new things that may surprise “, he confides on this subject. “Since I have been in Europe. I have been taking the time to go see artists at the festivals where I play. I see the effect that live music produced on the public. Again, it’s totally new for me because I have never seen the reactions that my films provoked. There is direct and immediate contact that is incredible”he continues.

But it’s not just local artists that Will Smith takes the time to discover during his European tour. The singer also takes the opportunity to feast on himself. He said he wanted to absolutely taste one of our specialties: Les Liège waffles. “”My mother never managed to do them well when I love it. I hope to be able to taste good people with you “he explains again. There is no doubt that he will manage to taste delicious in our country!
