Will Smith reduced to TEARS on Hot Ones: Bad Boys 4 star struggles to see while eating spicy wings and reveals the ‘hardest he’s been hit’ on a movie set – two years after that Oscars slap
Will Smith is the latest celebrity to test his spice tolerance in Hot Ones.
The actor was reduced to tears as he tasted the most fiery hot sauces from the hit series.
Smith admitted he wasn’t ready for his performance: “I’m the guy least prepared for this show,” Will said.
“It makes my eyes water in a unique way,” he admitted after trying one flavor. “It had a reaction with my tear ducts.”
The star also talked about his Bad Boys franchise and the dog he almost adopted from his 2007 film, I Am Legend.

When discussing why he believes the Bad Boys franchise has been so successful, he said, “It’s like life is so hard. Everyone wants someone who says, “It’s any man. What do you need? I’m there.” You know? And I think that’s the core of Bad Boys that really resonates on a universal level.”
He also discussed trying to adopt the dog Abbey he worked with on I Am Legend.
“It was as if Abbey spoke English,” he replied. “You might say, ‘Yes, Abbey, see where I left my phone?’ She would say,” Will said, before mimicking the dog’s reaction to him.
Smith is about to return to the big screen with the release of his latest Bad Boys movie, Bad Boys: Ride or Die.
The film arrives in theaters two years after Smith found himself at the center of controversy in 2022 after punching Chris Rock onstage at the Oscars.
The film will also serve as Smith’s comeback and will work as an experiment to see his ability to attract audiences after the controversy.
“Bad Boys is not a risk,” a film industry insider recently said People. “It’s a good piece to see him rise. A talent as ambitious and financially successful as Will doesn’t leave with one mistake.’
The source added: “He needs to keep the box office success alive.”
A Hollywood insider also told People that the film could put the actor “back on top” if he “does well” at the box office.

The source said the actor should be “back on top and looking good for other films he’s involved with and working on” if Bad Boys 4 were to succeed.
Smith’s film Bad Boys: Ride or Die will be released on June 7.
While promoting the film, the actor turned spiritual as he discussed finding “lasting happiness” without depending on wealth.
“The material world is completely incapable of providing lasting happiness,” he said on the Full Send podcast.

“You just have to get to the end of the case and still be miserable to realize that.
‘People talk about the low point. I came up with a phrase that there is a corresponding place, I call it ‘clifftop’, where you wear out everything in the material world.
‘It is an absolute abyss when you realize that there is nothing left in this world that you can achieve to make you happy.
‘And then you realize that the final frontier is getting your inner house in order. Without women, without drugs, without money and without anything, can you cultivate a joyful spirit, only with you and you?’
