Paul Rodriguez deserves better. The actor/comedian was on San Diego radio station Rock 105.3 when he dropped a bombshell: Will Smith was a jerk on the set of Ali. Okay, that’s not really the bombshell but let’s just imagine for one-second that Will Smith was the kind of guy who belittled others simply for not refilling his bowl of Oreo crumbs when he demands and deserves Oreo crumbs dammit!
Rodriguez has two theories as to why Smith was a jerk. The first one — the real Ferdie Pacheco (Rodriguez’s character in the biopic) showed up on the set hammered, and said some pretty disparaging things to Mr. Independence Day. Smith obviously took offense, and directed his anger towards the fake Pacheco.
The second — perhaps Will Smith was on the juice.
“Maybe it was the steroids he was using to beef up,” Rodriguez said.
Now, before we start speculating, it’s highly probable that Smith has never used illegal muscle enhancers in his life. It’s not like…heh, heh… he has a paycheck riding on the look of his body. In all seriousness, it’s is possible that Smith was a jerk on the set of Ali, but we cannot say that he was on steroids just because he gained, like, 75 pounds of muscle in a few months. Normal people doing normal stuff do that all the time.
