Presenter and actor
Pablo Motos and the Hollywood actor have known each other for more than a decade
They tried to create a program together and at the last minute they ran into a problem
To understand the origin of the friendship between Pablo Motos and Will Smith We have to go back 15 years, when the Hollywood actor visited the set of The Anthill and he was fascinated by the business that exists around the presenter. Pablo Motos welcomed him with open arms. It was the beginning of a story that continues today.
Despite the incident that Will Smith had at the 2022 Oscars, he has not stopped working and his career continues to rise, so much so that a week ago he returned to Antena 3 to present Two Rebel Police, his new feature film. «Look at me, I am the happiest man on Earth»Pablo Motos told him when he entered his recording studio. The truth is that there is a special chemistry between them, but not everything has gone well for them.
Despite having great harmony between them, they were unable to make the professional project they had in common come to fruition. The presenter and the artist They created a company that they tried to take to a well-known American media outlet. The idea was goodalthough unfortunately it did not come to fruition.
The failed project of Pablo Motos and Will Smith
He was the leader of The Anthill the one who took a step forward to tell about his professional adventure with Will Smith. “He was fascinated by the program and was fascinated by the idea of very crazy entertainment, seen from the American show that is always a monologue, interview and musical performance,” he declared in this regard. That’s why they thought about working together, so they created a program that promised to be the revolution of the season.
«We were about to sell it to NBC, before the Saturday night Livebut they had many reservations because the muppets (the puppets of the Trancas and Barrancas ants) are related to childhood and that’s it. The presenter encountered a great obstacle that he could not overcome: American culture. The public was not going to fully understand that two dolls were part of an apparently serious program.
The ants were what differentiated them from the competition, because from one moment to the next the programs in the US began to make content similar to the idea that Pablo and his partner had. «There was an element that they liked a lot, which was science. Suddenly all the programs in the United States began to do science and our differential fact went down the drain and that was where the project remained.
A lasting and sincere friendship
Nonetheless, Will and Pablo remained friends. According to what they say, they connected as soon as they met, which is why they have seen each other many times outside of television sets. In 2021the presenter of Antenna 3 He explained: “He has come seven times and we have seen each other sometimes in other places, we are true friends.”
The chemistry between them was evident a few days ago, when the artist of hollywood Return to The Anthill with a formidable smile. In 14 days, Smith planned to be in eight different countries to publicize her project, but her stop in Spain was special.
«It seems like I always say the same thing, but I think this is the best film of the entire saga so far. It has a lot of comedy and the chemistry between Martin Lawrence (the other protagonist) and I is almost as strong as the chemistry between you and me,” the actor told his partner.
Years have passed and they have not lost contact, even though they both have very demanding schedules. Each one in his profession, but both are stars loaded with commitments. Of course, there is always room for a good chat between friends.
