Though he grew up a major Philadelphia Eagles fan and has participated in several Super Bowl festivities, Will Smith acknowledges that he has tried to avoid watching football since making Concussion, his new film about the tragic link between the violent sport and life-threatening brain injuries.
“I haven’t seen a whole game,” he told Yahoo Movies this week. “I walk through the airport and I’ll see something, or I’ll see a play on the news. It’s really stressful now. It definitely created a conflict for me. It’s still beautiful, it’s still America’s favorite game. That doesn’t change at all. It just has another side, that once you see and once you know and once you understand, you can’t not see.”
