Williard Carroll Smith Jr. famed as Will Smith is a famous American actor, producer, comedian, rapper, as well as a songwriter. Newsweek called him "the most powerful actor in Hollywood" in April 2007. He has been nominated for five Golden Globe Awards, two Academy Awards, and has won four Grammy Awards till the date. Forbes has ranked Smith as the most bankable star worldwide. His films have grossed $7.5 billion at the global box office. For his performances as boxer Muhammad Ali in Ali (2001) and stockbroker Chris Gardner in The Pursuit of Happyness (2006), he received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor. In December 2019, social media users began encountering a post proclaiming that actor Will Smith and his son, rapper Jaden Smith, had “died in a crash after a “car and truck collision”. This post was a hoax, as neither Will nor Jaden Smith had died or been seriously injured in an automobile accident.
