Will Smith: Oscar winner, music superstar, dynasty patriarch…and little stinker?
I say ‘Roll camera, and I hear Will Smith go, ‘Oh, Jesus.
Tommy, so sorry.

Baz, get the ladder!'"
Sonnenfeld said that Jones reacted to Smith calmly.
“You hear Tommy saying, ‘That’s fine, Will.

No worries, Will.
Don’t worry, Will,'” he recalled.
“I don’t know what’s going on.
So we race the ladder over.
Tommy reaches his leg out as the ladder is coming over, races down the stairs.”
The source of the emergency: “Will Smith is a farter,” Sonnenfeld said.
“Some people are.
You don’t even wanna be sitting next to him at the Disney ranch.”
The stench was so potent that the cast and crew cleared the area.
“We evacuated the stage for, about 3 hours,” Sonnenfeld recalled.
“He’s, you know, a lovely guy.
Just, he farts.”
I’ll tell you that.
Sonnenfeld also took the opportunity to share a memory about Smith’s house.
“I still make fun of Will.
Will said, ‘Oh, that’s my accolade room.'”
