Will Smith makes surprising appearance after being seen at spiritual retreat in India

Banned for a decade from the Oscars, Will Smith has seemingly stepped back from Hollywood, the press, and even his family. For several weeks, the actor has not been heard from, until this unexpected return to a big project.

Will Smith back on TV

After slappingChris Rockin the face, Smith stepped away from the spotlight. Some American media reported that he was on a spiritual retreat in India to recharge his batteries and refocus. After all these weeks spent on the other side of the world, the actor with a career spanning almost 30 years is making his big return to the small screen. According to Hellomagazine, Smith will be the first guest on David Letterman's new show.

The trailer for My Next Guest Needs No Introduction was unveiled on Netflix on Friday 20 May. In it, we (re)discover the face of the Prince of Bel-Air actor. However, those who think they will hear some juicy anecdotes and information about his violent outburst at the Oscars, will be disappointed. Indeed, this footage shot with Smith was filmed 'in March, well before the ceremony started,' the American media details.

Will Smith's family in turmoil?

Since the slapping scandal, Smith and Pinkett Smith have been the centre of attention. Their intimate lives and extramarital relationships have been revealed. For example, Pinkett Smith is said to have had a crazy love affair with a young rapper, who dedicated a song to her. The tense relationship between Smith and Tupac, Pinkett Smith's ex-boyfriend, has also been revealed.

This exposure of the couple's private life and their two children may have had a negative impact on their relationship. According to the American tabloids, the two actors are on the verge of breaking up. For the time being, neither of the two has responded to these rumours.
