Will Smith reveals challenges overcoming disability

[Dr Zaius]

In a big surprise to movie fans, action star Will Smith today revealed that he has suffered from a severe disability since birth. The actor is well known for keeping his personal life private and in avoiding the press, which has become increasingly difficult after his string of hit movies including Men in Black and I Am Legend.

"People don't think of me as a disabled person and that's great, because I've worked hard all my life to be treated like anyone else. I don't want anyone to look down on me; I just hope people still think of me in the same way they always have."
