#WeLoveWillSmith Collection
He first burst onto our screens in baggy pants and a flat top hair cut as the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. His full name is Willard Carroll Smith Jr, and he’s 51 years old (we can’t believe it either).
Now, enjoy some of Will Smith’s biggest hits in this collection celebrating his diverse talents – from action man to serious dad to comedy genius.
Gemini Man (2019): Will Smith plays Henry Brogan, an ageing hitman pursued by a mysterious young operative who seems to know Henry’s every move.
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006): The inspiring story of salesman Chris Gardener. Broke and unemployed, he nonetheless takes custody of his young son and embarks on an ambitious new career. One of Will Smith’s most moving performances.
Hitch (2006): A man who helps hopeless single men win the hearts of the women they’re in love with is exposed by a reporter as a scam artist. He sets out to prove her wrong.
Men in Black (1997): Will Smith plays a rebellious New York cop recruited to join a top-secret alien policing agency. With some nifty weapons, they have to save Earth from an intergalactic terrorist.
