Will Smith Gets Emotional Discussing 'Terrifying' Birth of First Son Trey: 'I Just Fell Down on My Knees'


Will Smith got tearful talking about the arrival of his first son, Trey Smith, 32, while introducing his track, 'Just the Two of Us,' during 'An Evening with Will Smith,' at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on Thursday, Oct. 3.

Ahead of his rendition of the song, Smith also recalled that Trey had arrived when he'd "just bought a picture-in-picture television," and compared the guidance he got for the TV to becoming a parent for the first time. In the clip he posted, which seemed to be video footage filmed of himself creating his audiobook for his 2021 memoir, Will, the actor discussed the day Trey was born ahead of reciting lyrics from "Just the Two of Us." After sharing some of the lyrics, which he said described the "public depiction of Trey's birth and my introduction to fatherhood," in a voiceover, Smith explained that he had been "overwhelmed with the immensity" of the responsibility ahead that came with being a parent, and revealed that he prayed to God on his knees to him be "a good daddy."
