Before this Hollywood A-lister headlined blockbuster films such as Men In Black, Ali, and The Pursuit of Happyness, Willard Carroll Smith Jr. was a good student who could charm his way out of trouble; hence, earning him the name, “Prince.” He had high SAT scores and could’ve been admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but he had no plans of going to college because he wanted to rap.
In the late 1980s, Smith found modest fame as half of the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. Their debut album, Rock the House, made it to the Billboard charts, and their second album, He’s the DJ, I’m the Rapper, won the very first Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance. In the 1990s, Smith starred in his first major roles in Bad Boys, Independence Day, Men In Black, and Enemy of the State, all of which became high-grossing blockbusters.
Smith’s success continues with his portrayal of The Genie in Disney’s 2019 Aladdin, and he has also returned to rapping, participating in the soundtrack’s singles.
