Will Smith just revealed the four actors he considers the greatest of all time — and yes, he put himself on the list.
During a livestream with PlaqueboyMax on March 18, the Hollywood icon was asked who would be on his “Actor Mount Rushmore.” His top picks, in order, were:
- Marlon Brando
- Will Smith
- Denzel Washington
- Daniel Day-Lewis
Will didn’t shy away from including himself, saying:
“I’m not really saying this to be arrogant… I do think I’m one of the most prolific actors of all time.”
He added that his picks are a mix of true actors and movie stars, explaining the difference:
“An actor can deliver a role and transform you. But a movie star can carry an entire film. You go see a Denzel movie because it’s a Denzel movie.”

The project, which is creatively structured like a series of “episodes” instead of songs, features DJ Jazzy Jeff, Teyana Taylor, and his son Jaden Smith.
Will shared the news on Instagram, writing:
“It’s OFFICIAL!! My new album Based On A True Story drops March 28. TWO WEEKS!! Hit that presave. Been working on this project for a minute and I’m itchin’ to get it out to y’all.”
💔 Will Smith Shares Emotional Story About Prince Before His Death
In a recent appearance on the Broken Record Podcast, Will dropped a jaw-dropping story about his final conversation with Prince, just eight hours before the music legend passed away in 2016.
Will revealed that Prince called him to pitch the idea of starting an entertainment company with Will and JAY-Z.
“He said he had already talked to Jay, and he wanted us three to build something together. We talked that night… and by morning, he was gone.”
Will also reflected on another eerie moment — meeting The Notorious B.I.G. just hours before he was killed in 1997.
Although the trio never got to launch the company, Will and JAY-Z have since worked together on several projects through their individual companies.
