One of the recurring themes within the conversation is the ways in which Smith’s own father, Willard Carroll Smith Sr. (affectionately titled Daddio), has affected his approach to fatherhood.
“From the time I was six years old, I wanted to be a father,” Smith reminisces.
Daddio Smith raised his children with strict military precision and physically abused their mother, but despite the negative reflections, Smith understands that the unfettering discipline he instilled helped him become the successful man and father he is today.
Smith first became a father at the age of 24 with his first wife, Sheree Fletcher.
