- Will Smith trained for half-marathon in Cuba.
- He revealed that during his rise to stardom, he refrained from alcohol for over 10 years to stay in shape.
- Now that he’s older, he’s happier because he knows he doesn’t have to live up to everyone’s expectations.
Will Smith recently revealed that he didn’t drink for ten whole years. While training for a half-marathon in Cuba on his Facebook Watch show, Will Smith’s Bucket List, he marveled at how far out of shape he’s gotten in his old age.
“During my rise as a movie star, I was like, wildly disciplined,” Mr. Jada Pinkett Smith revealed. “So being in this place in my life, even something as simple as taking my shirt off while I’m out of shape, like, you know this for me now allowing myself to be seen less than optimally is new.” For the record, Will trained for three weeks and completed the race in two-and-a-half hours, which was slightly slower than his goal of two hours and 10 minutes.
The Oscar nominee reflected on how he was when he was younger. “I was willing to die to be the biggest movie star in the world and there was nothing more important than that,” he noted. “I’m really in a different place in my life as I’ve gotten older I don’t feel the pressure of living up to the billboard image of myself like I used to, and living with these imperfections and accepting my weaknesses has brought me so much freedom. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life.”
