Why Is Will Smith's Men In Black Trending 28 Years After Its Release
Last Updated: Originally released in 1997, Men in Black saw Smith alongside Tommy Lee Jones, both playing Agent J and Agent K. Will Smith's iconic 1997 sci-fi comedy Men in Black is enjoying a surprising resurgence in popularity, nearly three decades after its debut on the big screen. The renewed interest in the beloved film comes at a time when the Oscar-winning actor continues his 26-date European tour. According to the reports, its 2002 sequel, Men in Black II has surged into the top 10 movies on US streaming platform Starz, months after also appearing in the top 10 on Peacock. The resurgence in the popularity of the Men in Black franchise leads to a face-off with its contemporary hits like Flight Risk starring Mark Wahlberg, Tower Heist featuring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy and Kevin Hart's action-comedy Ride Along. Originally released in 1997, Men in Black saw Smith alongside Tommy Lee Jones, both playing Agent J and Agent K—members of a secret government agency that monitors and regulates alien activity on Earth. The film was a runaway success, earning a stellar 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, three Academy Award nominations, with a massive collection of $589 million at the global box office. Although the sequel Men in Black II didn't quite match the original's earnings, it still pulled in a respectable $441 million. The third instalment, Men in Black 3, released in 2012, outperformed its predecessor with a worldwide haul of $624 million. The 2019 reboot Men in Black: International, headlined by Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, struggled to make an impact and minted just $253 million. Earlier this year, in March, Will teased the possibility of another Men in Black iteration. During an interview on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, he said, 'I told myself I was done with sequels. I was like, 'I've made enough sequels. I got some new things I want to make." 'This morning, an hour before I came down here, they just threw the bag for another man in Black. I was like, 'Ah, I'm supposed to be going on tour this summer," added the actor. Will Smith, the father of three, is currently busy with a Europe tour where he is performing hits from his new album, Based on a True Story.

Anupamaa's Sudhanshu Pandey Says He Grew Up In A 30-Room Haveli: 'We Were Middle Class'
Last Updated: Sudhanshu Pandey shares how growing up with middle-class values in a 30-room mansion in Gorakhpur shaped his journey in showbiz. Sudhanshu Pandey has been part of the entertainment world for decades, trying his hand at modeling, music, acting, and even reality TV. While he was recently seen in The Traitors on Amazon Prime Video, where he made it to the finale, Sudhanshu says it's his upbringing that's kept him grounded all these years. In a conversation featured on Varinder Chawla's YouTube channel, Sudhanshu was asked how he manages to stay humble despite his success. He pointed to his upbringing and background. 'I think the biggest strength for people like me is the background we come from and that background is a very simple, middle-class background. I have always felt that has been my strength because I have known my reality. I know where I come from and where I belong," he said. Sudhanshu also shared that although his family lived in a large home in Gorakhpur, their lifestyle remained simple. 'My parental house was in a place called Gorakhpur. We are originally from Uttarakhand but my parental house was in Gorakhpur and it was a 30-room haveli. We used to have cows so I came from that background. Yet, we were all middle-class simple people," he revealed. The actor believes the way his parents raised him played a huge role in shaping who he is today. 'The simplicity that came to me from my parents and our life, was so basic and simple that that is what my foundation was. And I think because that foundation was so strong, it never let me get shaken up at any given point in life." Sudhanshu Pandey began his career as a model before transitioning into films and television. He made his Bollywood debut in Khiladi 420 (2000) and went on to appear in movies like Singh Is Kinng, Dus Kahaniyaan, Siyaasat, and Bypass Road. He was also part of India's first boy band, A Band of Boys, known for hits like Meri Neend. On television, his most notable role has been Vanraj Shah in Anupamaa. He also featured in web series like The Empire and The Traitors on Amazon Prime Video, where he reached the finale.

Will Smith Discovers His Roots In Wales, Jokes Renaming Himself ‘Welsh Smith'
Will Smith's old neighbourhood, Wynnefield, was named after a Welsh doctor named Thomas Wynne. Will Smith has always known how to steal the spotlight—but this time he is doing it by celebrating his surprising connection to Wales. After learning his home state of Pennsylvania has several ties with Welsh culture, the Men in Black star is contemplating changing his name to reflect his roots. During an interview with BBC Radio Wales, Smith came to know his surprising ties with Wales when host Lucy Owens pointed out how Smith's old neighbourhood, Wynnefield, was named after a Welsh doctor named Thomas Wynne. The actor's mother's hometown, Bryn Mawr, also shares its name with a village in Wales. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum seemed to be amused by the revelation. 'So I'm Welsh! I'm Welsh, basically. That's what we are saying," Smith replied while breaking out in laughter. 'Yes, Will! This is what I'm trying to say. You are Welsh, and we are claiming you," host Lucy Owens joked. The witty exchange left fans laughing when Will Smith was contemplating changing his name to Welsh Smith. 'That might be my new name," Will joked. 'Welsh Smith. I'm going to be Welsh Smith," he said hilariously. The BBC host later noted that Bryn Mawr, where the actor owns a home, means 'big hill" in Welsh, to which Smith laughed and said, 'Big Will lives in Big Hill. That is crazy." Smith's connection to the UK did not end at the names of his hometown and mother's town in Pennsylvania. The actor and rapper also revealed during the show that he and DJ Jazzy Jeff recorded some of the music for their first album in the UK. Smith has been focusing more on his music career in the past few months. He is currently touring his latest album, Based on a True Story, which dropped nearly two decades after the release of his first studio album, Lost and Found, in 2005. Smith's global tour kicked off in Morocco on June 25, and he is all set to tour five UK cities between August 24 and 30. Smith will also make a stop at Wales' capital, Cardiff, on August 25 before wrapping up the tour in Paris. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
