Interview about Will Smith

For my interview I, chose to interview my roommate/teammate Adrian. Adrian and I have known each other since senior year of high school were we competed against each other. Although being teammates and roommates has gave me a lot of information about him, we never really get into much about the entertainment side except for Lil Wayne and things like that. So I plan on finding out some things that I never knew before, and knowing Adrian im in for a few surprises.
So in walks Adrian, and it was time to get down to the fun stuff. All he knew coming into this interview was that I had to interview him for class. He did not know anything outside of that. So it was kinda funny looking at the expression on face. So I asked him, off the top what is his favorite type of movie. He takes a minute to think, and says “Romantic Comedy” . As soon as he gave me that reply I was just thinking about Will Smith’s Hitch. I did not say it out loud, but it was on my mind. That is what made it funny when I asked him what his favorite Will Smith movie was, he said Hitch. So I just knew what kind of person he was, the lovey dubby type. So I asked him who his favorite actor was, he said it was a tie between Morris Chestnut and Denzel Washington. I asked him why not Will Smith, since he enjoys Hitch. He told me that Will Smith is very talented, but he just prefers Washington and Chestnut.
So after finding out about what actors he liked and what type of movies he is into, I decided to take it back a few years and find out a little about his childhood. So I just asked him about it. I asked him if he had any, role models on TV while he was growing up. He took the time to think, which was about 3 or 4 minutes, I was really surprised at how long it took. He then said not really a role model as much as it was favorite character on Keenan and Kel. For some reason Kel was his favorite character. He claims he doesn’t know why, but I was still in shock. I asked him what shows he was into growing up besides Keenan and Kel , he said he watched a lot of Martin and Fresh Prince. As soon as he said fresh prince, I said who was your favorite character ,on fresh prince. He said it was the same as everybody else in the world Will. I asked why do you think Will was so popular on the fresh prince. He told me it was because it was because of his troubled background, and his sense of humor. I could almost tell that if he were a young kid answering this question it would not have been the same. My guess is that because we are older we can see a lot of why Will was so popular.
My next question for Adrian was if he was writing an autobiography what would each chapter would be called. The first chapter according to him, was “the beginning” this chapter would contain information on him up until he was 5 years old. The second chapter, “Wake Up time for school”. This chapter would contain information on grades kinder garden- eighth grade and things of importance that happened along the way. The next chapter would be titled “Lost and Found” chronicling Adrian’s journey to find himself through high school. His next chapter is “Grown Man” it is the chapter which he talks about college and life as it is now. I asked him about chapters after that, he said he did not want to title parts of his life that have not happened yet.
Since we were rapping the interview up, I asked him what movie he felt Will Smith should not have made. He told me Wild, Wild West was pretty bad. I could not do much but agree. I asked him if Will Smith was a legit actor or still living off of fresh prince hype. Adrian said “are you serious?” “Will is as legit as they get he and Jamie Foxx made a transition that is not easy, and making that transition alone makes Will a great actor.” I told Adrian thanks for his time, but I had run out of questions, and he went on about his business.
