Willow Smith On Growing Up With Famous Parents & Her New Pop-Punk Era | GLAMOUR Unfiltered

Willow Smith has been famous since birth due to her Hollywood royalty parents, Will Smithand Jada Pinkett Smith. She made her acting debut alongside her Dad aged 6 in I Am Legend and has been a rock star in her own right since the age of 11 when her debut single Whip My Hair ranked in the top 10 of the Billboard charts.
More recently the 20-year-old has also become one of the most outspoken and influential spokespeople of Gen Z thanks to her role alongside her mother and her grandmother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, co-hosting Facebook’s hit panel show Red Table Talk. On the show the three generations of women discuss everything from pop culture to polyamory; social justice to social media and mental health. It’s a powerful exploration of mindsets, changing attitudes and philosophies as well as a sharing of life experiences and lessons. To say it’s inspiring stuff would be an understatement.
Now as the new face of Mugler’s Alien Goddess fragrance, the extraordinarily brilliant Willow opens up in the latest episode of GLAMOUR Unfiltered about challenging convention, managing her mental health, the impact of Black Lives Matter and her desire to meet aliens: “If there are any extraterrestrials looking at this right now, beam me up because I'm down to meet your leader.”

Willow Smith On Growing Up With Famous Parents & Her New Pop-Punk Era | GLAMOUR Unfiltered

[@SerenaBalejaSocialitePR]

This is the very first conversation that really highlights how the same triggering issues and anxieties happen wether you are a celebrity or not. I am team Willow for life.

[@chestashreyam7575]

she is so beautiful i just cannot take my eyes off her

[@luisdiasgomes4013]

Yes it's true you .. I love her

[@justinbeau5913]

She's an actual goddess

[@evesjeanz]

i am in love with this woman

[@recoveringcatholic4130]

She seems way more confused

[@paullayfield]

Well she looks exactly like Will Smith with a different haircut

[@faisalkisambira7199]

So much intelligence and self-awareness at her age, am amazed!

[@TheLastDragon5]

She talks with the same cadence as her father

[@goenadus]

yes but she sings in a fake english accent and its cringe af, shes already arich girl out of touch with what normal people do and how they live but the fake accent makes my british ears bleed, its gonna end her career if she doesnt stop, she has such a beautiful voice what a waste. "caught a vooooooid, maybe we can hit the for-o-fooooive" omg its sooo bad why why why please stop

[@TravelerVolkriin]

@@goenadus Grow up.

[@jadeysimz]

@@goenadus oh please

[@cupocity303]

@@goenadus it's "caught a vibe", and I'd say sounds like a white girl more than british accent.

[@aeroenzo]

@@cupocity303 definitely a fake British accent. White girls from the states don't say "just cot a voibe" lol. She's a really good singer, but I agree it's kinda cringey

[@scldragonfisharmond9889]

She is a unique young lady, with a unique perspective because of how she had to grow up. When you see someone walk a different path, but reach the same destination of kindness, beauty and originality, it is a gift to see the process.

[@yvvonechepkoech1762]

She's inspired me to be my "weird" self and feel free. The world needs more people like her 🖤🖤

[@margaret3355]

I'm fascinated by this chickie.

[@Tashana61]

Same here. She inspires me to be comfortable with being different.

[@alexandracollins0807]

Love her comment about her music not being ingesting poison. So much popular, catchy music these days truly is poisonous.

[@SimplyCharlette]

Such a natural beauty 🖤 comes across really well, insightful and positive.

[@Tashana61]

I admire Willow because she is extremely smart cookie, fearless, determined, assertive and very expressive. The only thing that I admire her the most is her being different. For instance she makes rock music more than Rnb music, which is weirdly awesome, in my opinion. As I grew up listening to rock and pop music in my childhood, as a black person.

[@imveryfatalsoo9451]

As a black personality »on, fckn nobody says that. For the rest I agree witchu lol

[@orphanoforbit7588]

It took me a lot longer to figure out this stuff. I'm 42 and took a very long hard road but finally I'm somewhere.

[@saramatthews7159]

At 37 I can definitely relate

[@carolinevenables1065]

Me too at 41

[@eartha360]

Everyone's journey is different ♥️

[@ROHIT690THAKUR]

She so growing into such a smart, kind and lovely soul. Her smile is so contagious and pure. Wow! I'm mesmerised.

[@ronaldsmith1985]

She's such a beautiful young lady I like her positive attitude!

[@samanthahughes6669]

"i just want to be one of those things you can expose yourself to that will make you love yourself and the people around you more "..... What a pure soul.

[@selikagarcia6605]

Her heart is so pure and genuine.

[@PianoHits]

for someone born into privilege, Willow is extremely self-aware, she's living outside just her own experience to observe more than just her.

[@Gabbyislimitless]

says alot about those that raised her!

[@DigitalDaffodil]

I mean, it’s easy to if you don’t have to worry about money / food / security / etc

[@tomzjamz]

Born into privilege but guarantee she didn’t have an easy childhood. I feel like their family is dysfunctional, and it wasn’t an easy ride for her or Jaden.

[@kc_h7h]

I don't think she has the right to say: "were tired of being pushed aside" as somewone that is privileged her whole life. She doesnt experience racism like other people. I am sure she countered some racist comments and that but she never got obstructed in life because of her skin

[@koalaed]

@@kc_h7hare you saying that she doesn’t experience racism because she has money? That’s a very disturbing and worrisome comment. What do you think the money can do for her, take away her emotions? I’m curious. That’s the thing to say about your message. The second thing to say is, of course she has a right to speak up about what effects her, just as any other human being in this planet is allowed.

[@BanjoGirl101]

So, today is the day I have enlightenment. I thought her words would scare me and that I would have to make drastic changes in my life but she reassured me I am on the same path as her or see things similar. We are all stifled to be our pure self. I feel like she's spent a lot of time on her own getting clarity and wisdom. Everyone should be able to express themselves clearly and openly and be their true selves. I'm on a path to be a life coach or mentor and I feel this lady gives me inspiration.

[@CelestiallMusic]

I AM SO HAPPY WILLOW EXISTS! ! ! I LOVE YOU, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO! ! !

[@4usprosperity]

Love 💘 😻 💜

[@luvvdenise]

Willow is so effortlessly beautiful, I love her Sm

[@Stranger_In_The_Alps]

It takes a lot of effort. Just not her own.

[@goenadus]

sure but she sings in a fake british accent and she should stop, shes from LA and you hear her speak normal in this...

[@angelmichelli9824]

@@goenadus I think she tries to sing like she’s black it doesn’t sound like she tries to do a British accent

[@4usprosperity]

Love you 😅😅🤗🤗🤗

[@user-wl2md5kz7k]

She’s very well spoken especially for her age, most young kids are out there these days 🙏

[@goenadus]

shes a private school, private tuto girl whos private school costs more than a Drs salary, and also i call bs because she sing in a fake british accent, its the worst

[@cupocity303]

@@goenadus dude you're in every comment section. You seem dedicated to take her down. It's cringe.

[@AA-mi4zg]

She's a real Charles Darwin in terms of influence, yeah.

[@teekeciagaskin]

I wish there were more like her for my kids to look up to

[@RachelTeeKae]

I love that she understands the concept of putting poisons in our mind that comes out later in life. And that she wants to put beautiful things out for us to ingest.

[@alison2878]

I didn’t realize she did rock music and the first song I listened to I was blown away. I grew up playing and listening to rock and it’s so fresh and exciting to see a talented artist who breaks the realm of the traditional white male rock stars. Actually inspires me to tune up and dust off my univox

[@handypicker]

i dont like hyping celebrities, but this is a hella great lady. thoughtfull, caring... lots of thinking and ideas. thank you goamour for the good questions and Willow for beautiful answers. keep on shining 💖✨🌸

[@4usprosperity]

😅😅🤗🤗🤗😇😇😇

[@jessellis1523]

I love her so much she is so mature and wise for her age plus incredibly talented if anyone says that she is only a singer because of where she has got famous parents they can go away and don't deserve to listen to her music because even if she didn't have famous parents she would have probably still become a singer because she is naturally talented there are alot of kids who have got famous parents that have chosen to stay out of the limelight keep being you willow your such a beautiful young woman as well as inspirational

[@cheycl293]

Ehh, she is inspiring, and right on different levels. She lightly shocked me, (a few times), with how smart she came across, no offense. She is inspiring me to wanna help my lady friend, even take a bit of influence from her style. I love Willow. I respect her braveness in the Rock n' Roll world, cause even I, a brown man, have been questioned for being different. Ciao.

[@r.katiekane252]

8:39 I am so glad you added more to the sentence after "....expose yourself to", but I almost fell outta my chair. 🤣🤣 I don't know if you ever even look at comments Willow (no one would blame you for not wanting to for sure!), but it isn't that we don't care about BLM. Sometimes we want to, but just don't know how to help. I know that sounds like a cop out, but you know it can be rocky terrain to navigate. 10:50 I find it interesting that our scientists seem interested in looking for life ONLY in the way we find it on this planet. Why should we assume that an alien species would require water to live, or needs oxygen to breathe. Why would we assume they aren't capable of phasing through matter or swimming through lava. Shouldn't we at least be capable by now of admitting that beings COULD exist all around us ALL the time, but because they vibrate at a frequency much higher than our own, our human eyes do not detect their movements? We need OPEN minds in scientific exploration!
