…and yes, he’s still spiraling about it in 2025.
So picture this: It’s 2010. The world is wearing skinny jeans unironically. Christopher Nolan, king of brain-melting movie plots and questionable sound mixing, walks into a room and is like,
“Hey, Will Smith. Wanna dive into dreams inside of dreams inside of more dreams and probably get an Oscar nod while you’re at it?”
And Will Smith—Fresh Prince, Men in Black icon, slap deliverer of the decade—goes: “Nah, I’m good.”
💀💀💀
Fast-forward to now: 56-year-old Will is on Kiss Xtra radio basically trauma-dumping to the entire planet. He admitted (with full chest) that he didn’t “get” Inception when Nolan handed it to him like a free cheat code to Hollywood immortality.
“I’ve never said that out loud,” Will whispered, clearly in emotional agony. “Now that I think about it, it’s those movies that go into alternate realities… they don’t pitch well.”
Sir. What do you mean “don’t pitch well”? It’s literally dreams with explosions and Leonardo DiCaprio running in slow motion with a briefcase! That’s not a pitch, that’s a cinematic protein shake!
Let’s recap the damage:
- ❌ The Matrix? TURNED. IT. DOWN.
- ❌ Django Unchained? “No thanks.”
- ❌ Inception? “I don’t get it.”
At this point, Will’s film career is basically the ghost of roles past.
And yes, he confessed all this on live radio like it was group therapy with Nolan as his ex.
Honestly? We love a man who admits his delusions. Manifesting that he accepts Barbie 2 when Greta Gerwig calls.
