Will Smith, 51-year-old, let his soft side of fatherhood revealed when he and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, 48-year-old, joined on the Father's Day episode of Red Table Talk. The couple showed up to discuss parenting kids.
The Men in Black actor has shared about his devastating feeling when seeing Willow, 19-year-old daughter decided to shave all her long hair off the head.
“She destroyed all of my belief systems,” Will said about Willow in the conversation before joking about the roots behind his issues. “It was so devastating to me when she shaved her head bald,”
“Because her record is Whip My Hair! I’m like, ‘That’s a protest against me!' Whether it was or wasn’t that is a brilliant thing to do. I took that as a sign from the Gods that I was like, this little girl is rejecting what I’m trying to do for her. She doesn’t want it.”, Will continued.
“She made you have to fall back on your military style,” Jada then joined in the conversation.
“It was like she made music, she enjoyed it and she was finished,” he elaborated. “And she was hard with it. She was crying. She was scared. But what she wasn’t going to do is do something that she didn’t want to do.”
"My desire for her was overriding her desire for her," they both said.
Since Willow was given birth, Will Smith has had quite a magical feeling about their bonding which leads to his act of over-parenting sometimes. However, he shared that Willow is the one who allows him to take a step back and watch her instead.
"I stopped and I just started watching my kids and with Willow I started seeing that there was a higher value about how she feels about the situation versus how to fix the situation and it became the new thought process for me." he said.
