Will Smith has had the opportunity to visit Saudi Arabia numerous times, with each visit taking him to a distinctive city.
His first visit was to Jeddah, and he afterward returned to Riyadh twice. During his time in Saudi Arabia, Will Smith communicated his cherish for the nation and the Middle East in general.

The interview was interesting and touched different points in Will Smith’s life, both acting and personal .
The Episode itself witnessed a huge trend on Google Search and other Social Media sites.
I will mention some of the fascinating topics
that took place between the star Will Smith and Amr Adib on the show .
One of the questions the host ” Amr Adib” asked Will Smith was,
‘Do you think the United States was better 10 years ago or now?’
Will Smith then shared his opinion by saying, ‘ Truth is being eclipsed by the interest of clicks and comments. Plus, there used to be a necessity for demand and truth, but now it has been dissipating dangerously.’
Another question asked was,
*‘What has your opinion on happiness been like?’
Will Smith gave an interesting viewpoint, expressing that happiness isn’t just about pleasure but about finding peace.
He would rather have 30-20% of what he has gone, knowing that will allow him to feel peace throughout his life.
Also, he mentioned that he wants as much as he can handle but still be peaceful.
The following question was,
*‘If you don’t care a lot about your financial ability, what do you do with your money and fortune?’.
Will Smith answered this by saying, ‘At this point in my life, it’s almost like the first half of my life was accumulating, and the second half of my life will be me giving it back.
This isn’t necessarily only about me giving back money. Rather, it may also be by me teaching others.
I would want to teach them from my experiences and knowledge. I feel like I can reach people’s hearts more easily when others know that I have also survived issues which have occurred throughout my life.
It is easier to connect with others on a deeper level once they recognize resilience in your eyes’.
A further question was,
*‘Do you think a younger black actor will have a good chance today in Hollywood?’.
Smith replied, ‘ I think Hollywood is as open as it’s ever been for the world.
It is more inclusive than it’s ever been, there’s always work to do, but I have been very pleased the last few years with the development and creation of African-American artists across the spectrum.
The following question asked was,
*‘Do you think that we have free will in our life?’.
Will Smith responded by saying, ‘That’s a hard question. I’ll say yes; I think that, in general, life is a blank slate that you paint with your beliefs, and if you believe that there is free will, you will experience it.
Although, if you think there isn’t, you won’t experience it. I believe in the power of consciousness and the power of your thoughts and your beliefs to create infinitely’.
One of the most important questions asked was about the Holy Quran. The host asked,
*‘Knowing you have read the Holy Quran one year ago, what are your thoughts about it?’.
Will Smith responded with, ‘I was shocked by how much Mousa was mentioned.
I related to Mousa and his experience. I loved the simplicity.
The Quran is so crystal clear it’s hard to walk away from a misunderstanding.
The spirit of it was so beautiful and clear. I’ve read the whole book of Ibrahim’.
