When everyone avoids Will Smith, he wants to direct his biographical film: who is the star who wants to collaborate with “persona non grata”

Lewis Hamilton is not very successful in the start of the Formula 1 season. The Mercedes car is far from the competition represented by Ferarri and RedBull. However, the star has big plans, but in terms of cinema.

In a delicate context for the famous actor, when everyone seems to get rid of him, after the Oscar incident, Hamilton congratulated Smith for the film King Richard. Thanks to this film, Will received the Oscar for Best Actor – he plays Richard, the father of sisters Venus and Serena Williams.

Lewis Hamilton is delighted with the work done by Will Smith and said that he would like to work on something similar to the famous American actor, according to MotorSport.com.

“The stories are there to be told. There is so much to learn from them. It all started sleeping on the couch in my father’s apartment. There is someone behind every successful person. I understand that very well because I have a great family. I don’t know where I would be today without them, “said Lewis Hamilton.

Will Smith loses contract

He believes that “King Richard” is a film from which families in general can learn many positive things. The Mercedes driver says he sees himself doing something “similar”. He is planning a film directed by Will Smith, about the life of the 37-year-old pilot.

At the same time, Netflix and Sony no longer want Will Smith, after the scandal at the 2022 Oscars, an event that made the tour of the planet faster than the war in Ukraine. Specifically, Sony and Netflix have suspended the production of certain movies in which Will Smith should have played, after he slammed Chris Rock at this year’s Oscar gala.

Before the scandal, Netflix was in the process of finding a new director for “Fast and Loose”, a film in which the actor Will Smith was also supposed to play. He was supposed to play the role of a mob boss who, in parallel, is facing a memory problem. Netflix declined to comment on the decision to drop production.
