Will Smith stopped by BBC Radio 1Xtra and talked to A. Dot about his parenting techniques and the upcoming Bad Boy movie.
After jokingly saying he may have gone “too far” in the amount of freedom of expression he gives to his children, he revealed he was unable to star in the upcoming Independence Day sequel due to scheduling, However, his encounter with fellow bad boy Martin Lawrence sanctioned their involvement in Bad Boys 3.

And in that moment, we both knew we were making another Bad Boys. So, we’re definitely doing another one.
