Will Smith, known for million-dollar movies like “Independence Day<\/em>,” “Hitch<\/em>,” “Bad Boys 1-2<\/em>” and “I Am Legend<\/em>” and “I, Robot<\/em>” was nervous. Who would think that the star of the ’90s TV sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air<\/em>” could be nervous in front of a camera? But he was nervous last week during a meeting, even with his wife at his side. Why? Because he was interviewing President Barack H. Obama.<\/p>\n

Will Smith stated, “This is the first time I’ve been nervous in front of a camera in a long time.”<\/p>\n

Obama’s response? “Just think back to Prince of Bel-Air, man.” <\/p>\n

Jada Pinkett-Smith, most popularly known as Lena James from “A Different World<\/em>,” the voice of the hippopotamus on “Madagascar<\/em>” and the star of the show “HawthoRN<\/strong>e<\/em>,” seemed at ease. Check out the Smiths’ interview with Obama on a Nobel Peace Prize speech comment “expanding our moral imagination,” Internet communication, putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and First Lady Michelle Obama.<\/p>\n
