Will Smith’s filmography is so vast that remembering all the films he starred in or starred in is almost impossible.

However, there is one film that he just can’t get out of his mind and which he even defined as the worst of his career: Wild Wild West . The film in question, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and which dates back to 1999, is inspired by the Wild West TV series and was actually a real flop at the box office. With a budget of around $170 million, it only grossed $220 million. Yet, at the beginning it seemed like it was a film ready to top all the charts.

Will Smith says Wild Wild West is his worst film ever

In fact, during a video shot for GQ , the actor found himself answering questions posed by fans on the Internet. As for the best and worst films of his career, he said: “ As for the best, I think they are Men in Black and The Pursuit of Happyness. For different reasons, but I think they’re almost perfect films. The worst? Wild Wild West is a pain in the ass. Seeing myself dressed as a cowboy… I don’t like it!” . Furthermore, according to what was reported by GQ, the actor found himself on more than one occasion talking about Wild Wild West and how he also gave up the role of Neo in the Matrix to take part in it. In essence, Will Smith said that he took part in the film for the wrong reasons: “ I became so successful that I began to want more and more, shifting my focus from my artistic ability to the desire for success. I wanted to win and be the biggest movie star.

 I found myself promoting something I basically didn’t believe in , just because I wanted to win .” But that’s not all. In fact, the actor continued, stating that films like this could not exist today: “In the 80s and 90s, if you made a shitty film, you could create a trailer with lots of explosions and it took a while for people knew that your movie was actually bullshit. Now what happens is that ten minutes into the movie people are tweeting, ‘This is bullshit, go see Vin Diesel. ‘
