we're rolling Hayden rolling ask Uncle
Will that's what this is this is a
session you're the first person that
gets to ask uncle will anything okay
would you rather have a normal life or
like you up now that's a very very very
deep quest the light that I have now is
a life that I've always dreamed about I
built and struggled and fought to have
it be just like I love when I moved into
acting I was like I want to be the
biggest movie star in the world
so Fresh Prince was out so everybody
would call me well well well that Monday
morning after the box office receipts
came out for Independence Day was the
first time somebody called me mr. Smith
right so I was like mr. Smith
[Music]
some people feel unsafe being famous I
feel safe right if something were to
happen and we had to go to the hospital
I know that we would walk in and the
people would put us to the front because
men in black was populated you know so I
feel safe I know people would help the
perfect example that was driving and I
realized I was on eat so I pulled into
the gas station and I didn't have my
wallet and I looked over on the other
side and I saw a dude he was like 36
years old I was like that dudes a Fresh
Prince man roll the window down
[Applause]
hey man can I get a picture say yeah man
I need about ten dollars
[Applause]
but then there's definitely the other
side I get sued probably fifteen times a
year I have lawyers on a monthly
retainer just because you get sued so
much when you're when you're famous
there are absolutely painful aspects of
this life try to get my nephew to walk
race where it's just that there's 10,000
people here right now
like how it's just hard in a public
place because of what people start to do
[Applause]
in my mind I just refuse to allow myself
to concentrate on drawbacks you have to
learn how to fight and defend yourself
from predators without letting your
heart go dark and that's an extremely
difficult difficult balance but I
wouldn't I wouldn't trade this life for
anything I love being me
[Music]
