WILL SMITH

Willard Christopher Smith Jr. was born in the


American town of Philadelphia (Pennsylvania)
on November 25, 1968. From a young age he
was an awake child with a special ability to
sing, act and get out of all the troubles typical
of a teenager.

Attractive and funny, the story of Will Smith is


that of a young African-American who began
his artistic career as a rapper but whose
fluency and particular angel before the
television cameras allowed him very soon to
become an actor of overwhelming success.

Will was born into a humble home, located


in the Wynnefield neighborhood, as the
second of four children of Willard Carroll
Smith, a refrigeration engineer, and
Philadelphia school board administrator
Caroline Bright. His siblings are: The
oldest, Pamela Smith and the younger
twins Harry Smith and Ellen Smith. His
schooling was provided by Our Lady of
Lourdes Elementary School, a private
Catholic institution. In 1981 Will had to
witness how his p arents divorced, being
legally official around the year 2000.
Despite his parents' divorce, he continued
and finished his studies at Overbrook High
School. From a young age Will showed
talent for music and singing, so he was determined from a very young age not to apply
to university studies to dedicate himself to the world of rap. Thus, from their 16 years
of age in the company of Jeff Townes they formed a duo called DJ. Jazzy Jeff and the
Fresh Prince. They were characterized by a "clean" style of rap aimed at all audiences,
embodied in the five albums they produced between 1987 to 1993.

Will Smith married Sheree Zampino in 1992 and they had a son together, Willard
Carroll Smith III, better known as "Trey." Their marriage did not prosper and three years
later they decided to divorce. In 1997, Will Smith marry American actress, producer,
director, singer, songwriter, and businesswoman, Jada Pinkett. The actor's wife began
her career in 1990 and is best known for her character as Niobe in the films The Matrix
Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. As a result of their marriage, Will and Jada had
two children: Jaden Smith and Willow Smith. Born in 2000, Willow Camille Reign Smith
is the youngest daughter of Will Smith. She is known for being an actress, model, and
pop singer. Born in 1998, Jaden Christopher Syre Smith is an American actor and
rapper who made a name for himself in the film industry for his role in the 2006 film In
Pursuit of Happiness. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett's son also appeared in The Day the
Earth Stood Still (2008) and The Karate Kid (2010)
