Will Smith’s children, Jaden and Willow, admitted they were unhappy with their father pushing them into the spotlight at a young age.
Although his kids’ careers were taking off, the "King Richard" star confessed that his family didn’t share the same sentiments as their father. "2010 was like the greatest year as an artist, as a parent. ‘Karate Kid’ came out in June, 'Whip My Hair' came out in October," Smith shared on Kevin Hart’s "Hart to Heart" series. "I'm building this dream of a family I've had in my mind.
I'm going to do it better than my father did it." Despite the success, Smith added that it tore his family apart and his kids resented him during their early rise to fame. "Nobody in my family was happy," Smith continued. "No one wanted to be in a platoon.
Willow was the first one to begin the mutiny and it was my first realization that success and money don't mean happiness. Up until that point, I really believed that you could succeed your way—to a house and a family… and you could win your way to happiness." The father of three came to the realization that having fame and fortune doesn’t always result in happiness. "Material circumstances do not equal happiness and, in a lot of cases, they can be the reason you're not happy." He noted, "You can have so much stuff that it makes you miserable… That was my first pull-back, and I was like, 'OK, what am I missing?'" Smith’s comments come after his daughter Willow said it took her a "couple of years" to "forgive" her father.
