Will Smith is touching fans over their family resemblance after sharing more rare photos of his siblings
More than ever, actor Will Smith is sharing parts of his often private world with his fans. While fans had mixed feelings concerning the news of his marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith, others enjoyed the nostalgic photos of Smith with his siblings.
In celebration of National Siblings Day, the Oscar winner posted a photograph of himself, his mother and his siblings. Now, to have a good time the birthdays of his younger brother and twin sister, Harry and Ellen Smith, Smith has shared more photos of his family from the past.
The “Pursuit of Happyness” star wrote, “Happy birthday to my little sister and brother, El and Hara (heart emoji) I love you.”
The first photo shows Will and Harry playing Monopoly.
Ellen responded within the comments writing, “Oh. Me (heart emoji) is!!! I’m kind of mad that Ion knows play Monopoly (crying face emoji). Do not judge me. One day.”
The next photo shows Harry and Ellen smiling like Smith earning money. The third and fourth photos show all three siblings, smiling as adults in a single, after which one with a pouty Will as a baby in between his lovable siblings.
Fans were shocked when the photos showed their striking family resemblance – an ideal combination of two parents.
“You and your sister look exactly the same,” one person wrote, while one other added: “It’s amazing isn’t it, that last slide in front of him is just a different shade.”
A 3rd comment read: “Happy birthday to your siblings, such a humble, honest family and show more love.”
Will has a big family that features two older sisters named Pam, twins, and a younger sister named Ashley Marie Pettway Smith.
Both parents, his mother Caroline Bright (formerly Smith) and his father, Willard Smith Sr., had daughters named Pam.
Through social media, his followers gain insight into the bonds and closeness of the Smith family.
During Easter 2024, the “King Richard” star shared a photograph through which the twins and Mommy (nicknamed Bright) are surrounded by family members Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, Jaden Smith, Pinkett Smith’s mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris (aka Gammy), Will’s eldest child, Tre Smith, and Tre’s mother, his ex-wife Sheree Zampino.
Family has been necessary to the artist over the past few years. Between the backlash to each memoirs (his and his wife’s), the connection between his wife and August Alsina, and the Oscars incident where he slapped Chris Rock, he was stricken by negative press for years, but he didn’t back down. The actor sought spiritual support and surrounded himself with family.
“People don’t realize that we’re dealing with real people. “Family is everything,” one sensible person added, emphasizing the importance of their core crew.
