With the Whitney Houston song, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” blaring in the background, Smith sings along as his mother lovingly dances with him.
Smith has been celebrating many things recently. According to Deadline, the Wild Wild West actor was honored as this year’s AAFCA’s (African-American Film Critics Association) best actor for his work in King Richard.

Green (emerging director).Smith also won his first Golden Globe for the same role earlier this month, taking home Best Actor in a Motion Picture-Drama award.

film.Westbrook Inc., which Smith owns with his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, announced two weeks ago that a minority stake was invested in the media company by Candle Media, which is a media company backed by industry executives Kevin Mayer, Tom Staggs, and Blackstone
