Strict look, honest words, wet eyes: 50-year-old Hollywood star Will Smith made a detailed wedding confession on his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's talk show "Red Table Talk" (45) on Monday!

What happened?

For the show, the Smith family sits at a table, along with his daughter Willow (17) and Jada's mother, Adrienne (64). First of all, a lot of laughter Will Smith does it jokingly as always. But after a few minutes, it becomes serious. Will and Jada remember their relationship of more than 20 years.

▶ ︎ The first surprise comes at the very beginning.

Jada Pinkett Smith recalls meeting Will Smith on the set of his series "The Prince of Bel-Air". She was in favor of a role, but casters found the actress too small for the role (Jada measures 1.52 meters) and got a cancellation. But Will Smith loved the delicate beauty and tried to go out with her.

With a friend, he then visited the television set of his series, sat in the audience and met his future wife Sheree Zampino (50)! There was no meeting with Jada.

From 1992 to 1995, Will Smith was later married to Zampino. They have a son together. But when Will Jada again went on a trip with friends and talked to him for hours, he realized that he had made a mistake.

Will Smith: "Sheree and I were eating the next night, I had to get up and go to the bathroom, there I cried and I could not stop crying, I knew that Jada was the woman with whom I had to be, but divorce has never been an option for me. "

It is only when Zampino separated from him that Will was released to Jada. In 1997, he married his great love. Jada Pinkett was three months pregnant at the time. In her show, she tells us that she cried on the way to the altar – not with happiness, but because she did not want to get married!

Reason: Jada had ended his career in Hollywood before his relationship with Will Smith and wanted to live on a farm in Baltimore. Then Will Smith's call telling him he wanted to be with her. Two years later, she was pregnant with her first child.

Will Smith: "We just got married because their mother wanted it, and for me there was not a day when I doubted I wanted to get married, but Jada never wanted that."

"I never believed in the construction of marriage, and do not do that today," said Pinkett Smith. "Until death separates us, I believe it, but the rules for the woman and the paradigm – not her."

▶ ︎ Twenty-one years later, the couple now summarizes its worst years. And Will Smith particularly regrets his travels in the ego.

Will Smith: "Jada cried for 45 days, every morning I had to start keeping a journal, I was a failure, but externally, I looked like a winner, I built him a house and l & # 39; called her "your lake." I told her, "I built this house for you and I dedicated it to you." She replied, "You built the house for yourself," which destroyed me.I dedicated it to him, but everything revolved around my ego.I tried to put the perfect picture together. "

The relationship began to collapse. And although the divorce was out of the question for both, the couple split up. Will and Jada Smith will talk about how they met in the second part of the series next Monday.
