Will Smith's Easy Math For Breaking Into The A-List
If you missed 60 Minutes's fawning profile of Will Smith last night—"This charming kid's just charmed!" seemed to be the main thrust of Steve Kroft's piece—we've included an outtake, in which the I Am Legend star describes how early on in his career, he and his manager looked at the top ten grossing films of all times, found some common themes (creatures, special effects, and love stories), then used those findings to map out a blueprint with which to conquer Hollywood.
We think, however, that Smith underestimates just how much unadulterated X-factor is contained in his DNA, for if a plan that deceptively simple were to work on every actor, we imagine we might be seeing Stephen Dorff running around an abandoned, post-apocalyptic Mahattan in a $150 million Omega Man remake.
