[@tannhauser5399]

Depends. If you look at the body movement, eyes, whole shift in the body of Michael... Pure pro. But it is also obvious, that sometimes the other guy doesn't let him talk, finish the sentence, whoever is doing this interview, and break some of his responses. Pretty obvious if you are good at this. Whoever it is, wouldn't pass any modern corpo interview (top level here, talking about top level engineers and pros - where you would have to know if they break under a certain conditions), and apptitude tests at modern corporations. Definitely somebody witthout any modersn psychology degree and training. It is just Michael is a pro, you can see that he is actually seeing it at some points, but is stil being a pro (maybe due to his martial art training, beining involved in the movie business and dealing with various agents, and so on) - and that part I understand. Pure pro. Yeah... I guess I agree with you too, but it is "sad" to see the other guy talking. Completely different level. Good interview, but it could have been better.

One day, he may hit a person that looks like they can't or won't retaliate. If he's that sort, he better change his ways. There are people that look meek and have black out temper issues. That was me much of my life. I can't swear that I wouldn't knock the taste out of someone's mouth even now, if I were hit out of the blue. I'm a red head and my Dad was a Golden Gloves champion. He got tired of me not dealing with kids hitting or biting me, so he taught me what I needed to know. I've had boys, girls, women and even men start pushing or hitting me over the years. I was a nerdy straight A student and am a nurse that just wants peace. Except one girl, I've defeated everyone that screwed with me. He might've put me in the floor, but he'd have carried some serious marks after me getting up. I've never gone looking for a fight in my life and tried forever to avoid them. if someone actually manages to drag me to the ring and throws me in, they're going to regret climbing in with me. Will, and everyone that chooses victims based on appearance, need to know what can happen when they go too far with some pretty unassuming people.

@@principedeldesierto6057 🚫 But Chris Rock didn't really insult Jada. Watch that video clip, and think about Chris's joke using its proper context. It wasn't a personal attack on Jada at all. Besides, Chris didn't know about her minor health issues anyway. So it was in no way personally disrespectful towards her. Will Smith actually LAUGHED at Chris's joke! But then he looked over at Jada, and she flashed him an angry, arrogant look. So Will immediately leapt out of his seat and pretended to be angry over the joke. Here's the real reason why Will slapped Chris: He felt like he had to act like a tough guy in public, to make up for the fact that Jada had been making him look like a bitch on her recent podcasts! She publicly said that Will doesn't really turn her on anymore, so she'd been out f**king some younger rapper, which she rubbed into Will's face! That's some messed up sh*t! 50 Cent even called out Will, and said that he would never tolerate the sort of public disrespect that Jada put had Will through. That was only a few weeks before Will slapped Chris Rock, and I'm certain he was doing it because he was trying to compensate for his wife making him look like less of a man.... The proper thing for Will to have done, was to break up with Jada IMMEDIATELY after she publicly disrespected him, then he could've gone to the Oscars and laughed his ass off at Chris's joke! 😉👍

@@thedarkking32 thanks man. Idk these men these days have become cowards. Calling chris…. The little guy? Come on. You don’t talk about someone’s wife having a medical condition idgaf if its a joke or not. Its SO funny to me how most of these idiots can road rage, listen to angry music, and love watching violent movies….. but a man….. slapping another man…. Offends them. It’s disgusting to me how pretentious and fos ppl can be. They do this crap to deflect from their own bullcrap cuz it’s easier to collectively clown celebrities

I love how he pointed out his past of negative actions/opinions towards women, owns it, and mentions how it's the only way he's able to have a meaningful, true relationship with his wife. He recognized his baggage, has done his best to put it down, and looks so comfortable with himself you can tell that his quality of life is all the better for it. What a gem.

[@tonydamiani8029]

Great point about getting sorted before power.

[@daxramdac7194]

Michael actually made a very good point towards the end talking about people who reach a certain level of power or respect and there are no people/mechanisms left in place that occasionally put you in check, and so you end up feeling like you can just play out any sort of emotions you want etc. Like how he said his friends will agree with anything he says even if its something they probably shouldnt be agreeing with and thats because of the power hes projecting, that kind of power can be incredibly difficult to tame or control.

[@slXD100]

that's why you need to check yourself. I am sure that e.g. people like stalin had others who could've checked them and still do so, but stalin grew his power to a point where it was too risky to do so, not because they drank his kool-aid. it's good to have people to check you but it's far better to be stoic and check/hold yourself accountable.

[@hubster4477]

Like prince, michael jackson, etc.

[@Ownyx]

Tyson comes to mind

[@AlexKunstar]

You know at the ststt of this video, I thought the whole thing was gonna be something like 'he wouldn't be dumb enough to slap me, I'd have knocked him down in two seconds ect ect ect." The deep, thorough, thoughtful answer he provided is something that wouldn't have even crossed my mind from thst question. It is actually them perfect explanation in my opinion of what happened. Will literally thought he can go up there, slap the shit out of Chris Rock, and then get a round of applause because he was "standing up for his wife". Gtfo of here. Unchecked massive power combined with the added benefit of being a minority (and yes thst absolutely factors in).

[@jacobr4558]

Actually it's good to have both. Finding the right people to have around you is vital. You can't always check yourself because your scope is very limited. Also if you leave it up to yourself you can justify your own actions. You can't hold yourself accountable for something you don't think is wrong.

I met Michael, when he came to Stafford, Virginia years ago. He was located at the Marina area in Stafford and I met him and he's the nicest guy that you could ever meet. You can tell that he knew he was powerful, but he kept himself in check. I love the fact that he doesn't watch negative things that could seep into his mind and cause a reaction that would have never been caused had he simply avoided the negative things. He knows what brings peace to his mind and he knows that watching negative things or reading negative things isn't the road he wants to travel on. He reminds me of myself 🤔

And, lastly, no need to travel to any other part of the united states to get what you want; because the East Coast is the wealthiest(being that Maryland, D.C & Virginia are in the top 5 wealthiest states in the nation), because everything you can dream of having is all on the East Coast !
