Will Smith Stays Grounded

"I Am Legend" On Screen, Family Guy At Home

(CBS)  Will Smith lights up the cover of the December issue of "Men's Vogue" with the honest expression that is a reflection of his down-to-earth personality, a rarity on the Hollywood scene.

He also makes a frank admission that he's counting on the success of his latest film, "I Am Legend."

"It's gonna be real scary if "I Am Legend" doesn't work, because I got everything I wanted [in a film]," Smith told the magazine.

Will Smith Causes A Scene

---

Smith's new film, due in theaters Dec. 14, is a post-apocalyptic thriller about the sole survivor of a man-made incurable outbreak that swarms New York City.

While working in Hollywood, Smith has stayed grounded and under the celebrity radar, due to his solid marriage with actress Jada Pinkett Smith and, he says, his friendship with fellow actor Tom Cruise.

"We push one another to be better…There's a comprehension of what each of us goes through that everybody else can't understand," Smith said. "I've studied Buddhism and Hinduism and I've studied Scientology through Tom. And nobody's saying anything different!...I don't think that because the word someone uses for 'spirit' is 'thetan' that the definition becomes any different."

Smith admits that it's not easy to maintain a happy marriage in Hollywood, and that you have to invest all you've got into making it work. "Counseling, individual learning, books, conflict resolution," Smith confided. "It is a full time job to try and be happy. People tend to think that they can go to work for 50 or 60 hours a week and then come home and their relationship is just supposed to work."

The couple wed in November of 1997, when Smith was 29 and Pinkett Smith was 26.

He is not much of a figure on the party circuit. "Will literally takes three sips and he's buzzed," says his "Hitch" co-star Eva Mendes. "It's not even like three sips of whiskey; it's literally a piña colada or a daiquiri--he loves girly drinks--and he's down."

Other Hollywood stars have taken notice of Smith's one-of-a-kind demeanor.

"I don't say this kind of stuff about people, but he's godly," says Smith's "John Hancock" co-star, Charlize Theron.

I wonder if this good funny actor Will would react, if he knew that Cruises - as a scientology brainwashed guy- thinks Will Smith is inhabited by thousands of "Body Thetans" that psychiatrists (yes yes, 75 million years ago!) inserted in his body...
The story must be taught: it''s what Hubbard called the Wall of Fire, and is described in tens of languages here, as well as some of the scientology cult characteristics:

I wonder how Will would feel if he knew how hubbard viewed Africans? Scientology is steeped in racism, and is all too evident when you read hubbrads own words. LRH even wrote to his wife Polly Grubb and suggest she get herself a ni@@er to scrub her floors because it is what they are for. Hubbard praised Sth African PM Verwoerd (find the Kotze Report) and praised the aparhied system. Google scientolo+racism and read hubbards own words where he ridicules all non-anglo cultures/races. No wonder Hubbard was thrown out of Rhodesia after trying to make it a scientology run/controlled Government.
