“If you’re not dead, you still have a shot.” That’s just one of the lessons Will Smith is taking away from playing Serena and Venus Williams’ father in KingRichard.
"All I can do is my part, so it's always an honor and a pleasure for me to do my part, and everybody put in brilliant work. It was the COVID shutdowns, people really stuck with us," Smith said about doing his part to make sure the cast and crew were fairly compensated after it was revealed that the film would be released both in theaters and on HBO Max."It was a much more difficult process than anybody thought they were signing up for. I just felt that it was fair.
"He predicted it. Two years before they were born. He is savant-level parenting. He had to learn tennis himself, he and Oracene learned how to play tennis, then they learned how to teach it to their kids. It's one of the most amazing stories," Smith said of Richard's commitment to his daughters' success."He did it all without pushing and forcing his children.
"When I heard he wanted to be a part of the project, like, long before it was even being shot, I just died, I was like, 'Oh my god.' So, he should be everyone's daddy if you ask me," she said.
