The Color Purple actress then commented on Smith’s ability to “see the energy of himself.”
“You see how the energy of yourself, everything you were doing, created that exact moment,” Winfrey said.
In the same interview, the Bad Boys actor also admitted to feeling “failing every woman I interact with” and outlined his desire to “tell the truth.”
“I want to tell the truth. I want to let people have it. I’ve carried, most of life, the sense of failing every woman I interact with. I haven’t talked about that publicly.”
He also said that he felt “fearful” about falling in love with his wife actress Jada Pinkett-Smith, the mother of his two youngest children, musicians Willow, 21, and Jaden, 23. Previously, he was married to actress Sheree Zampino, with whom he has son Trey, from 1992 to 1995.
“Love [is] the most fearful place you’ll ever try and step into – real love, that unconditional love … to be able to open a broken heart again,” he added.
