Will Smith wants to relocate to ‘magical’ South Africa

The former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, actor and rapper Will Smith, wants to exchange his life in sunny California for a life right here in sunny South Africa.

Will fell in love with our lovely homeland when he came here to film the biopic Ali a few years ago.

He told Britain’s Empire magazine: “We want to move to Africa. Actually, I found a house in South Africa, but it was before 9/11 and when that happened, we thought, being Americans, it was a time to be home. But I just loved South Africa.”

“I definitely felt like there was magic there and it was a magic I wanted my family to experience.”

Ah, but before you get charmed, our fellow South Africans, it turns out there’s a bit more to Will’s sudden desire to relocate here than just our homeland’s magical mystique.

He said: “I’ve been travelling around for the past year and the perception of America and Americans is not great around the world…”
