Will Smith is always one of the best-dressed men on the red carpet. But with a big birthday approaching, he’s going to start dressing down- way down. “I’m turning 40 this year, so I’m going to be naked as much as possible before it’s too late,” Will says.
The actor, who is married to Jada Pinkett-Smith, believes now is the perfect time to be proud of his birthday suit. “I’ve been in pretty good shape for the past couple of years,” he admits. “When I’m 42 or 43 years old, I’m going to start letting go!”
Besides stripping down, do you have any other plans?
I’m going to start being mature and saying smart things. I’ve been telling the kids, “As soon as I turn 40, you have to do what I say, because now I’m in charge.”How do your children (Willow, 7, Jaden, 10 and Trey, 15) react?
It’s not going over too well.Why not?
My kids don’t listen at all. I tell them all the time, “When I was your age, parents were allowed to give kids spankings.” They think it’s hilarious, like it’s such a foreign concept to them.

It’s nice to know that men worry about their physique as they get older, too. Still, men have it a lot easier in Hollywood when they hit 40. Look at all the over-40 actors who still headline blockbuster films, starring with actresses half their age. It’s also comforting to know that Will Smith has the same problems with his kids as the rest of us. I’ll be he’s a fun dad, though. Jada definitely strikes me as the disciplinarian in that family!
