I cry every time I see this! I know how it feels to have a dad leave then come back just to leave again. Shits fucked up!A little backstory to this clip before you watch it:
Will Smith’s father abandoned him and his mother when he was a child, and when Will was finally getting into show business and making a name for himself, he tried to sneak his way back into his life like nothing happened. Will co-wrote this episode, and James Avery (Uncle Phil) said “this scene was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to shoot in my life. Every emotion, every word.. that was Will”
Will was actually supposed to play it off and then walk away, and there was originally an alternate scene that was supposed to happen, but he actually completely cut out what was supposed to be said, and did all of his own dialogue. The hug at the end of this scene is completely genuine, and this was a stepping stone in Will’s career where he started to take on the “do what feels, sounds, and looks right” approach to his acting.
Always reblog!!Ugh this is so hard to watch every time…
Shit like this always fucks me up. Haven’t heard from my mom in almost 4 years. My little sister has no idea who her dad is. Shit like this always hits kinda close to home. It’s always cool to see someone like an actor put themselves out there like that. Mad respect.
Same^^^
My dad has never been in my life even though he’s always lived a couple blocks away. He lies and tells people I live in another state to make himself seem like he isn’t the shittiest person in the world. He won’t be at my wedding and I won’t be at his funeral. He could fall off of the face of the earth and I wouldn’t even blink. Fuck you, “Dad”, go work out some more, get real juiced up, go to more bars and fuck more nasty 40-50 year old white woman, continue to a “conservative republican”…. you think republicans give a shit about you? You’re not even a citizen of the United States. I hate you so fucking much.relevant :(
I have no idea why I watch this everytime it pops up on tumblr. Absolutely slays me every time.
