Will Smith Plays It Safe

Actor Will Smith fancies a sure thing. He steers clear of films that are not big-budget blockbusters, as he is dubious of the chances such films have of succeeding financially, WENN reports.

Smith has remained comfortable in the action and sci-fi genres. Films such as Men in Black and Independence Day have grossed at the box office and made him a mega star. However, such successes have also made Smith unwilling to push the envelope, fearing a flop.

"I fear that if I don't do that 'Will Smith' thing, then it won't be successful," the 39-year old actor admits.

However Smith is aware of such fears and perhaps will conquer them. He predicts that he still has plenty to do in the industry. "I think the next four or five years are going to be my innovative prime," he plans.
