Will Smith seems so miserable. Him saying "ain't nobody doing better than me" was the saddest part of the interview. Like he was trying to convince himself. I wouldn't trade my life for his.

It's weird how Will Smith seems to both laugh and PERFORM an act of laughter at the same time.

I definitely feel compassion for Will. Sometimes we humans really get ourselves into big messes and have no idea what to do about it. As an imperfect person myself, I hope he gets the healing and direction he needs.

Ain’t nobody doing better than me - I love when people are in abusive relationships and like to normalise it like everyone is dealing with this and they’re just being honest. No most people don’t have their wife sleeping with their sons best friend and you’re physically assaulting someone. Nah that’s a you thing.

It's weird, but I miss loving Will Smith. He was my favorite celebrity/actor/entertainer. I know he's human, but so much of the veil came crashing down after the slap.

I think part of the reason he feels safe is because he’s a recognizable black man. He once said he got pulled over by police, and was feeling uneasy, black guy in a fancy car, but when the cop saw it was him he wasn’t scared anymore.

I think the expression of him feeling safe, is because I think deep down he feels so dehumanized by the whole situation with Jada, that he thinks it's weird for him to feel safe that "nobodies" will know who he is, whereas people that know him personally don't even seem to respect him. It struck me as a confused sadness.

I love how Hot Ones raised the bar for interview questions.

This is one of my favourite KZfaq Channels of all. I love the professionalsim. The explainations and neutralism and all that. Keep it up Spidey!

I have never recovered from the slap. As a South African, we adored Will, but for me no thank you. He needs to take accountability, first.

I think he does that gesture of “it makes me feel safe” bc he has many insecurities that he hides, but with the fact of being famous it makes him feel like he’s definitely worth it. He needs way to much approval to feel valuable, and he is very hungry for it.

I feel compassion for Will Smith. I think he's been through some hardships that I wouldn't want to have gone through in front of the whole world. He's not healthy yet but I hope he gets there.

notice Will scratching his leg and the nervous laughter later when he responds to the Jada and public affairs question

linguistically, i can't decide if jada sounds like him or if he sounds like her. these two are SO enmeshed it's wild to listen to

I love how Spidey is swinging his head left and right for “no” as he accurately and genuinely explains that doing so doesn’t mean deception. An example baked into the lesson!

He still sound and look like a Scientologist. I can even imagine him and Tom Cruise sitting and talking Lord Xenu.

The ‘makes me feel safe’ face, struck me as Will Smith having not really had this thought before and simultaneously realising that it’s not a standard reaction many people would have. He has spoken before about having therapy (I believe) and after a while people tend to develop an internal therapist. I wonder if, at this moment of his face scrunching up, if Will Smith was wondering what his feelings about fame making him feel safe might mean from a psychological perspective.

It’s good to hear that I’m not the only one that was confused and didn’t understand what he was trying to say. It sounded like gibberish aka word salad. That was certainly not a question he wanted to answer truthfully

I really appreciate how you approach analysis. It is done respectfully, honestly and professionally. It's informative and entertaining at the same time.

This is the only body language channel I watch these days. Spider is unbiased, he is honest and fair and points out observations that are both good and bad ... there is no conclusion bias. Other channels seem to only point out observations which put the person in a bad light as they know that the social media audience do not like that person... And thats something that make me question those channels character of the people who are on those body language panels.. So well done ... and thank u.

Word Salad! That’s all I got from this interview.

A little word salad with your meal, Mr Smith? Hmm 🤔

I really don’t understand what he was trying to do at all!! If he is trying to clean up his image this did nothing for him, it seems to me like he is trying to hard but not a single drop of honesty comes out, I’m still so disappointed of his behavior and since the Oscar’s scandal cannot tolerate him, the only reason I saw this video is because of you spidey and your true review. Thanks for the amazing content

I find these interviews so interesting. Would you consider doing OJ Simpson’s “hypothetical confession” interview?

You are a creator I feel compelled to thank before I even watch. 💖😌

My first concert was DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince in about ‘90. I met them backstage and they were big kids. ❤❤❤

I am so glad you analyze without bias. It is interesting how much personal bias makes everything sound and look completely different.

Not sure how I didn’t find this channel before today considering it’s everything I ever wanted 😂🏆

I’m so glad you said you were confused by Will’s response to the question of his and Jada’s relationship playing out in public bc I was lost 😳 I couldn’t figure out any of it at all. I thought of him sitting at the red table and Jada asking him about how he felt about her “entanglement” with their son’s friend and that was where he got “bitten”? I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ and what was the gift? Maybe doing things more artfully was in reference to the slap? 🤷‍♀️ Isad bc I used to really love Will Smith. But since he slapped Chris Rock (and he didn’t truly apologize IMO) and then the lies have come out about his and Jada’s relationship and all that, it all just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I feel like he has been protected not just by Jada but by Hollywood for far too long. Thank you for your analysis Spidey. Always look forward to your uploads! ❤ Edit to say that I so agree with the last part. The advice about living life NOW. Be in the moment. I learned that when diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that doctors don’t know much about at all. It is a tick borne disease that attacks my organs. I also have Lyme but this one is the latest one discovered. It is about 25 years since the discovery and it was only 10 years discovered when I was finally diagnosed with it. The specialist I see knows how to kill it. But it cannot be totally eradicated and it’s one of those where the “cure” can kill the patient. Much like how cancer treatments were way back when. So, I learned to live in the moment with my own children and husband. We are now raising our granddaughter and I’m present every day for her. I have a grandson as well. I just want to be here long enough to get her raised. So Will is right. LIVE TODAY. Your life is NOW. No one is promised tomorrow

I'm so glad you decided to cover this Will Smith interview. I really think Will & Jada have one of the most dishonest public relationships but looking forward to seeing if you're analysis changes or reinforces my opinion. Thanks Spidey! Edit: This reinforced my opinion & it absolutely seemed disingenuous when Will said the meaning of life was unfathomable then proceeded to give step by step instructions of how to find it.

I think the scrunching is ‘I don’t know why fame makes me feel safe’. Like he’s acknowledging that it seems counterintuitive. Thanks for another fantastic video! Really enjoyed this one x

Wow, that was some few minutes of distancing language, from one sentence to the next. I agree with you, I couldn't work out if he was talking about his relationship or the slap 🤷‍♀️

Hey Spidey caught your show in Ottawa was fantastic love what you do!! great flow, charisma, intelligent, genuine and at the end encouraging local magicans!! always kind and respectful! If you get a chance go see Spidey!! Thanks!

Would love if you would cover the Prince Andrew Emily Maitlis interview now that it is brought to light again through the Netflix film

I love how positive this video is. Analytical and uplifting ~ the best of both worlds for my weekend. Thanks Spidey 💕

He and Jada thought that being open and talking about their relationship ‘agreements’ and ‘issues’ would help others. That is what he thinks the “Gift” was that backfired. And in the future they would need to be clearer with what they were saying and how they said it. And most importantly tell everyone that He is OK & Jada’s OK and still together and stronger .

Spidey, I agree with your assessment of Will scruntching his face when talking about fame making him feel safe...it's his look when he is serious.

John Lennon said....life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

I want to personally thank you for teaching me so much in just a few videos. Its really tough nowadays to find genuine people like you. Just by talking about how you view the world through goggles of of your own bias perception has taught me so much. Theres way too much horror, worry and cynicism in our world today. From the bottom of my heart, i thank you. And please, keep spreading that love, humility and knowledge over this troubled little blue ball we call home.

“Word Salad” is quickly becoming our nation’s secondary language. 😂

Hey Spidey your videos are always what I look forward to every single week xx

I’ve just paused after the ‘it makes me feel safe’ bit; what struck me is the way he looks across at the host on ‘safe’ & what I feel like is almost the tiniest hint of a smirk at the end. On an instinctive level it feels like an ‘isn’t this weird’ moment that he is sharing with the host.

Cutting to your face after the 30 seconds clip,…… “Ok” wide eyed, and chin back got me!❤. My face & thought exactly.

Really good analysis, Spidey. You've helped me look at this interview in a more nuanced manner.

I feel like the eyebrow scrunching around the topic of safety in the public eye analysis was spot on, in the sense that it shouldn't, but it does make him feel safe. For me, he's revealing a vulnerability around the subject of safety that he might not otherwise feel was guaranteed without his recognisable name.

Hi Spidey! Just wanted to say thank you for always trying to keep morals and values in all you do! The good humans appreciate it.

I really enjoyed you contextualising everything at the end. As someone who reads a wide range of biographies, I think there is something to be learned from everyone. I just think we have a problem where we either love someone and put them up on a pedestal, or hate them and ignore all their advice. Thank you for your balanced approach.

I think this is an authentic yet more mature version of Will Smith. A man who has experienced life's challenges and is now trying to reconnect with that youthful version of himself so he can bring a bit of that back to be integrated with the man he is now. I get the impression he knows he f-d up and he's trying to reconnect with his fans/former fans. He seems to be working on rebuilding his public image in the present moment with mistakes clearly in mind, which leads me to believe he is trying to find the right balance between humility and wisdom. That 30 seconds eye contact is so incredibly uncomfortable for people who haven't yet realised that we are all connected. Those people are living lives unconsciously and avoid vulnerability like that. If people are open, there is meeting of hearts and the energy is quite intense yet beautiful, warm and very reassuring. It is a very intimate experience. Will was clearly comfortable in that space, but the interviewer was not. I do believe that experience could give people a glimpse at understanding the meaning of life. The only way to really get a sense of that first hand is through an initial awakening. But it's different for everyone so its hard to say. But personally, I experienced a "mind blown" moment that changed me forever and I want nothing more than for every living soul to experience that gift.

Hey Spidey! Love your show. I took the instruction “look at you while you look at me” as a metaphor for “do right by yourself while doing right by all others”. Never to lose sight of yourself but also never to lose sight of all else. And in this sense, he’s showing why the meaning of life is unfathomable…. Because we cannot simultaneously consider and understand how to fully live our lives this way but we still have to try. Therefore, I didn’t feel the exercise negated his assertion that the meaning of life - this - is unfathomable.

Thanks for this spidey! Running some errands and this is perfect timing ❤

It’s really nice to see that this interview clips seemed really genuine

I wish I lived closer, I’d love to see your live show! Your content is fantastic! This was another great analysis!

I am glad you did this video b/c I was wondering about his demeanor behind his answers. I do think that he’s trying to MAKE hisself be ok with his life and relationship being in the public eye. I know he said he meant for it to. But I think he just learned early on ‘this is your life now so become ok and accept it b/c you can’t do anything about it’. And I think he’s mixed with emotions in how he feels about the uncomfortableness of him being on display for so long.

I'm getting "mentally manipulated" by Jada and her culty tendencies. She has had a clear interest in "religions" that tend toward mental manipulation and control. That's what I got out of his weird diversion tactics. The real honesty I saw was when he said fame made him feel safe, and the first time I heard it, I wondered what hurt him as a child that fame made him feel safe. That was clearly an honest statement that confuses even him, and I wonder if he's talked about it in therapy or with Jada-- who would likely ridicule or use it against him, for the control.

Can’t wait to see your show on Saturday !!!

~13:00 in, when you're talking about "moving the head 'no,'" methinks some of your head shaking was subconscious, thus proving the exact point at the exact time! Much love dude! Psst: don't forget to like the video!

I'm really appreciate your education Spidey. I know in the past I've disagreed on some of your stuff with will smith, but I have really had to back up, stop and analyze myself. I put my emotions in the way, which is the number one No-No in profiling someone. So thank you. Thank you for all of your help in educating my ass, and helping me take my emotions out of the process. Enjoy your day.

Great breakdown Spidey 💯👍

Spidey, i was listening to the radio in my car earlier this week, and there was an ad about your show in Montreal. Needless to say, i was very excited 😄

CONGRATULATIONS on a MILLION subscribers!!!!

Will Smith needs to understand if he wants back into mainstream Hollywood and entertainment he has to accept being constantly roasted rather than being defensive or emotional.

Got tickets to your show! I am SO excited! It's like a dream come true, I just adore what you do!

Spidey, this was one of your best and most nuanced analyses. Will Smith makes a good subject for your work. My son does that nose scrunch, and after you described it and hit on "confusion," I thought, that's it. Like, "It shouldn't make sense, but that's what I'm feeling." I could almost hear the inner dialogue. Very astute.

I believe what he’s trying to express is the spiritual understanding that all is one and one is all. He’s saying look at me but see yourself in me. Because we are all one life examining itself through different perspectives. It’s about empathy. This is what I’m assuming.

❤ Loved this analysis. And Spidey please continue to share future performances with the channel i would love to attend one of your shows if you're ever in my area.

Sorry for the extra long comment but I hope that it brings value to the discussion. Every time I watch one of your breakdowns, I’m blown away by the depth of the analysis. I’ve been a subscriber (on my older channel and then this one) for a long time (in KZfaq time 😂) and have always felt like I should be taking notes. No shade on anyone else, but yours is my favorite channel of all the body language/behavior analysis channels. In my very humble opinion (but not really because I KNOW I’m right😂😂😂) the quality of the material and the fact that you almost always keep it neutral (or at the very least are upfront and honest when you are expressing a personal opinion), just make this channel heads and shoulders above the rest. I also love that you have a background in psychology and understand how people really work. I don’t believe you can successfully read people without understanding what really makes them tick, including how different backgrounds, experiences (traumas etc), and neurodiversities, affect a person at their core. I wish I could just sit down and chat with you and pick your brain for a few hours or (even better) be in a position to be in a mentor type program. My brain loves to go deep, but to really learn, it needs the freedom to ask tons of questions and to be able to practice until I get it. But this channel is the closest I’ll get to that sort of thing, so I’m very grateful! Until I am able to support monetarily, I’ll continue to support via the algorithm by “smashing that like button” and commenting. Thanks again! Through all the ups and downs and changes in life, this is one of a very few KZfaq channels that continues to be relevant to me.🥰 And please, no matter what success you find in the future, stay loving and humble, man! They are your most endearing qualities. I believe that is the real reason that you have as many followers as you do! I’m not a “like my comment” sort of person but if anyone reading this agrees, please do like it so it can be seen. I only ask because I think there are many others that also want Spidey to “Keep on keepin’ on!” 🥰🥰🥰

I love when Spidey illustrates the emotions he’s explaining to make us understand 😅

I would love to see you break down some of the video game L.A. Noire. You play as an LAPD detective and It's all about figuring out if someone is lying or not. They put an emphasis on observing the suspect when questioning them. I'm curious to see what you would say about the body language displayed in the game.

I"m so glad that you mention the confusion you had when Will was responding to his personal life because I tjhought that I missed something. I's like he felt he had to say something but didn't know what to say so he came out with that jumbled jargon. It was great hearing your thoughts on it.

Interesting choice of jacket 🌈

Great vid! Again! I love your channel so much! This is the only YT notification I am looking forward to, to be honest. 😊

Great video! I agree with everything you said. And I really appreciate how you consider the different “goggles” people might be wearing and their viewpoints or conclusions they might make. Very neutral and everything was so well articulated and well thought out. Big props to you!

It’s called word salad, Spidey 😂 Thanks for a great video!!

Great video. Wish I was closer to see you live. 🎉

SPIDY! You are awesome! I love your videos. Just wanted to say, we also shake or move our heads left and right when we scan an area or landscape. Will as a performer has stood on stages and scanned his audience many times.

Such a good show Spidey!! We went to go see his show in Oakville and it was incredible - highly recommend it!

Thank you for educating is the public. You are appreciated

The response to the question about Jada makes perfect sense to me. Up to this point Will Smith has rarely if ever discussed he and Jada's relationship outside of her being with him at the time. He, from what I have seen will never say anything that can be perceived as negative about their relationship and certainly not about Jada. I wouldn't expect his response, including being bitten, to have anything to do with Jada. Will, in my opinion, was talking about himself and the Oscars debacle and the bitten statement was a generalization. Will has, in the public eye, always given the impression that he wants his life to be open and teachable for others. Over the years of watching his interviews, at one point he sounded like a psychiatrist,( after reading his book I found out why) that was an annoying phase in my opinion. As far as the "feeling safe" eye crunch, I think the expression was the perfect example of "if that makes sense?" I do think his "look at me" exercise was an attempt at, as some say your mind is not you. Meaning, as you said Spidey, possibly referring to something spiritual. However, the "..look at you while you're looking at me" sounds like something some people used to say that means whatever you see in me, (usually the good because the one being looked to was well respected) to look at yourself that same way. From that perspective I would say he got a partial answer to the question from Will if, that was Will's intention. But mostly it appeared to me as if Will was just making it up as he went along trying to sound deep😆 The host was hilariously uncomfortable but I'm unsure that he didn't speak up out of respect. I say this because he pinned Will on whether he liked the theme song and his "diplomatic" answer. It's possible though, his level of being caught guard seemed extreme😆. Yes, this is long but I had time so....😊 Spidey, I enjoy your channel so much!

I love the new editing style of your videos!

Another great breakdown. There were a few gestures that I missed. Montreal and a Spidey show would make for an awesome weekend!

He said he was Big Willie Before he got discovered, but then he says After he was on the radio he was no longer "Little" Will. Seems like a contradiction.

😂😂😂 your “ok what!?” makes me laugh every time! And yea this whole answer is the side of Will Smith I can’t take 😑

❤ Loved this entire video! You are an excellent analyst. Keep up the good work on the channel here, please.

Great analysis, thanks spidey 💜from 🇦🇺

I found your channel just about a month ago, but it's already helped me so much in my daily life. Thanks, Spidey (not Speedy😂).

That wiggle head thing Will did was SOOOOOO Cosby!

Spidey, you're awesome keep doing your thing ❤ 🙏🏼

You are so inciteful Spidey - love your analyses 👌

I love your channel, Spidey. Of all the body language channels I have seen, this is the one that seems the most like a class. I also agree with your takes 99.9% of the time (and let's face it, I'm probably wrong about the other 0.1% 😂).

I think Will Smith doesn't realize how loved he is. I hope he has an epiphany real soon about how much people admire him and how much he has been given in this life. Because once he feels that personal power for himself I think he'll have the strength to actually apologize to Chris

I want to see a behavioral analysis of a dissociative identity disorder system. (I'm a system myself, I still struggle with believing I have it because I was gaslighted so much after I was adopted) It's so interesting watching these videos! Thank you for them!

Our family loves you, Spidey!

I think confusion about feeling safe makes sense. When you reach a level a fame, you'd generally need bodyguards, have to worry about stalkers, people breaking into your home, etc. So feeling safe SHOULDN'T make sense.

I love the analyst you do!

Wish I could get to the show in Montreal! ❤ Keep killin it, Spidey!

Smith seems to be putting an effort to be honest, trying to really think before he speaks...it must be difficult for him to be this truthful. Proud of him for the effort. Good to see the therapy us working!

I agree that the face he did ( 24:07 ) was his face when being serious. I know that face from him and I am pretty sure he does the same thing in his movie roles when delivering a serious moment/ emotion

Spideeeeyyyyyyyyyyy!! You didn’t talk about that weird synchronized “ Mr smith” moment…..and when he does that uncomfortable look at me looking at you thing, I saw that as Greg Hartleys famous “chaf and redirect” ❤ you

Love all your videos! Thank you.

Had to stop and say I’m loving you hair !!! Now on to the video !!
