Will Smith has found a fresh perspective.
The Academy Award winner recently shared how he’s spent the last few years working on himself, and where that has led him.
“In the last couple of years I’ve been really deep-dive soul searching more than almost any point in my life,” Will said at his An Evening with Will Smith event in Los Angeles Oct. 3, per People. “And I’ve found a new well.”
And the 56-year-old—who is dad to kids Jaden Smith, 26, and Willow Smith, 23, with wife Jada Pinkett Smith as well as son Trey Smith, 31, with ex Sheree Zampino—explained that he may have unlocked the most genuine version of himself yet.
“There’s like a well of authenticity that I’m trying to tap into the most honest and authentic space within me,” Will—who made headlines in 2022 after slapping Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars—added. “And things are coming out that are very different than anything I would’ve done in the past.”
