Will Smith Explains How Ang Lee Made Him Younger in 'Gemini Man'

Will Smith appears alongside director Ang Lee at a Microsoft fireside chat event on Thursday (October 3) in Redmond, Wash.

The 51-year-old actor received a surprise visit from Seattle Seahawks player Bobby Wagner at the event and he was gifted with a jersey.

Will recently discussed how Ang made him appear younger for his dual roles in the new movie Gemini Man, out in theaters October 11.

“What Ang did is he looked through my filmography and he created takes of things — Fresh Prince, Men in Black, Independence Day — I was like yo, this is great, this guy’s a real fan. And he went through and he’d grab these things and he sat me down and was like, ‘This is great, look at how your eyes communicate, it’s the essence of innocence.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, that’s what I was doing.’ Then he’d go, ‘This one is very, very bad. Do not do this in my movie,’” Will said (via SFGate.com).

“I knew scientifically in my head it should work,” Ang added. “I called it a leap of faith. I was extremely nervous, not for myself, but for investors. It’s a privilege to imitate God’s work and to play with animation.”

Ang Lee & Will Smith's Film 'Gemini Man' Gets 2019 Release Date

Ang Lee‘s upcoming Gemini Man has officially been given a 2019 release date!

Paramount Studios announced that the upcoming clone assassin flick will hit theaters on October 4, 2019.

Will Smith is set to star in the film as “an aging assassin who tried to get out of the business but finds himself in the ultimate battle: fighting his own clone who is 25 years younger than him and at the peak of his abilities,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Gemini Man has been pitched around to studios for decades, but visual effect technology couldn’t allow an actor to realistically play two different ages.

Now in 2017, studios can now “de-age” actors just like how they have with Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Robert Downey Jr in Captain America: Civil War.
