An Ode To Will Smith... 9 Reasons Why You'll Always Be My Hero

They say you should never meet your childhood heroes. They say that meeting your childhood hero can sometimes be a massive let down Why? Because idols aren’t perfect, and meeting one in real life can quite often be an illusion shattering disappointment.

Well, I met my childhood hero last night, and I call BS on all of the above. See, my childhood hero is Will Smith, and he was (without trying to sound too gushy fangirl) the dictionary definition of perfect.

Sitting down to the press screening of Suicide Squad last night, the last thing I ever expected was to cross paths with the Fresh Prince. I mean, I wasn’t prepared. I had a mouth full of Pop Chips. So when lo and behold, Will Smith came out to introduce the movie (he’s the best thing about it by the way, sorry Margot Robbie, I tried SO hard to like it), I kind of lost my mind. Not in an embarrassing ‘Jesus, get this lunatic out of here’ way, but in a complete wide-eyed ‘is this really f***ing happening’ kind of way. So imagine how fast my heart was racing when this (below) actually happened.

An actual #WillSmithSelfie
Yes, it was the briefest of moments, and yes, he smelled like an absolute dream, but there I am (looking like a big shiny, smiley idiot) having a cuddle with my childhood hero.

And, it was amazing.

So, because Will Smith embodies everything great about being a man (it’s weird, I want him to be like, my dad, my husband, my brother, my BFF), here are some of his greatest ever moments.

Thanks Fresh Prince for being all I’d hoped you’d be….

If the end scene in this film doesn't give you all the feels, then you are (quite frankly) dead inside.
