Get push notifications with news, features and more. On Wednesday’s Facebook Watch episode of Will Smith’s Bucket List, the 50-year-old star admitted he was “more nervous about doing stand-up than I am about bungee jumping out of a helicopter over the Grand Canyon.” Despite having a successful career performing in front of a live audience through his rapping career, Smith said the experiences were different. “When you do music, [if] you forget your lyrics, the audience knows them,” he said. “And they catch up, and they pick up, they go with it. With your stand-up, if you stutter [or] you stumble if there’s one moment where your heart jumps… they see it.” In order to conquer his fear, Smith seeks out the help of the “master” Dave Chappelle.

Chappelle didn’t disappoint, giving the movie star three tips to overcome his fear: “confidence is key, pick the right s— to talk about” and “be interesting all the time.” “The first thing I’d tell you is — confidence is key,” Chappelle shared. “The reason you should be confident is primarily because you’re Will Smith.” He added, “I’ve been watching you for yours. You’re actually a funny dude. You’re a good dude. You don’t have to put on any airs, being a good dude in comedy, that’s rare.” Will-Smith-2 Will Smith performing his stand-up comedy routine | Credit: Alan Silfen Smith succeeds at his attempt at stand-up comedy with a performance in front of a full crowd of people, including wife Jada Pinkett Smith, daughter Willow and his mother-in-law Adrienne Banfield-Norris. “What I’ve discovered is if you are comfortable you’re not comfortable. That’s real,” Smith said. “As I confront every little fear, it’s how I build freedom.” He added, “It’s what Buddha called sublime detachment. Life is so much fun when you don’t give a f—.”<doc-sep>

Smith’s show comes one year after Pinkett Smith’s highly successful Red Table Talk launched on the platform. will-smith-sharks Will Smith on Facebook Watch’s Will Smith’s Bucket List The couple has been outspoken about their relationship on Red Table Talk, with Pinkett Smith getting candid about the “deterioration” of “fantasies” within their marriage. “Let me tell you, nobody talks about the sacrifice, the deterioration and the dissolving of fantasies,” she said in a recent episode. “You, right now, have in your mind your perfect woman. And when you find that woman, she’s gonna be a goddess to you. We fall in love with the goddess, or the god, within that person, and then when we actually meet the human being, then we gotta learn how to love that one.” “The reason why it is so important to me to be able to stick it out is to really get to the true meaning of love, in my opinion, it is unconditional,” she continued. “It has to be, because we are all too flawed. No matter how much work we do! It never ends.”
