On Trump



“As painful as it is to hear Donald Trump talk and as embarrassing as it is as an American to hear him talk, I think it’s good,” Smith said. “We get to know who people are and now we get to cleanse it out of our country.”



On depictions of Middle East in the media



The Middle East can’t allow Fox News to be the arbiter of the imagery, you know. So cinema is a huge way to be able to deliver the truth of the soul of a place to a global audience.”

Oh goody, another Hollywood type who fancies himself a thinker.

ETA: I do wonder who these types think that they're speaking for. What's with this "we" crap?

Mr. Smith needs to keep in mind the need to "cleanse" his hosts, the UAE:

Will Smith is a very talented person from music to TV and movies he has certainly been successful.
He is of course allowed to have his own ideas and talk about them.

What I don't like is how much influence Hollywood stars have over people who should be using their own brains to think for themselves.

As far as his comments on the middle east I think they need to stop killing each other in barbaric ways and spreading fear throughout their region and the world then we might be able to look at them in a positive way.

Of course Mr Smith the same could be said for many of your fellow african americans who give your people a bad image.
Perhaps you know a good publicist?

Will Smith is entitled to express his opinion. What these celebrities don't get is that their importance has nothing to do with what they think about anything. It must be easy to forget that, when you spend your life having people hang on every word you say.
A smart celebrity would keep his opinions to himself. No matter which side a celebrity is on, he automatically alienates half of his audience when he gives an opinion.
