Will Smith aims to rebuild his career post-2022

Will Smith is making a strong effort to revive his career after falling from grace following the Oscars incident in 2022. The actor, who embarrassed himself by slapping comedian Chris Rock during the Academy Awards, has faced challenges since then. Many questioned if he could recover from the backlash. Recently, Smith announced his first-ever headline tour called "Based on a True Story." This summer tour will take him across the UK and coincide with the release of a new album, his first in twenty years. The album includes collaborations with artists like DJ Jazzy Jeff. Fans are excited, but some are surprised by the small venue sizes. In addition to his music plans, Smith has been active on social media. He went viral for a TikTok video where he recreated a classic dance from his show "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" with former co-star Tatyana Ali. He is also focusing on personal growth, stating he wants to "rebuild something beautiful" after the Oscar slap. Experts believe his tour and music will help him reconnect with fans. By returning to his roots and performing hits, Smith aims to win back public support. His close friends, including co-star Alfonso Ribeiro, are publicly backing him as he navigates this difficult time. Smith has also hinted at a sequel to his 2008 movie "Hancock," adding that Zendaya may be approached for a role. As he re-establishes himself, he has taken steps to appear more relatable and approachable, helping to slowly mend his reputation in Hollywood.
