Despite all the drama from last night, WillSmith's performance in 'King Richard' earned the actor his first Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Revisit the time he spoke to his on-screen daughter DemiSingleton about how they both pulled it off.
. Not only was she starring opposite Will Smith, but Singleton was making her film debut as a young Serena Williams. The movie follows Richard Williams as he perseveres to give his daughters Venus and Serena a shot a tennis greatness, which meant Singleton had to figure out how to portray a global icon before the world knew her name. She recently talked to Will Smith about how she pulled it off.SMITH: I remember that.
SMITH: I was impressed by your steadiness and certainty. That’s a hard thing. I’m sure you really wanted to do the movie, but you hadn’t lost yourself. You had full and total calm, cool, and collection. How was it playing Serena at that age, before she becomes the Serena we all know? SMITH: When you’re playing a real person, you’re trying to find a balance between the images that people think they know, those main personality qualities, but then you want to find an authentic core. But that’s also difficult, because different family members have different impressions, right? Someone’s mother will have a different impression of them than their sister. So it’s always like trying to balance that multifaceted thing and then coming to something that is still uniquely yours.
INTERVIEW: What is it about performing that keeps you coming back? What do you get from it that you can’t get anywhere else?when I was so little, I just remember having so much fun every day. It’s something I’ve always loved doing. So being able to entertain a few thousand people every night, that was pretty incredible for me, and that’s where my professionalism started. I’ve been told by a lot of people that I come off as professional.
