If more actors viewed marriage this way ...

I've had a crush on Will and Jada Pinkett Smith for a while now. From time to time I hear stories about their marriage or things they've said, or advice Will got from his grandma, and I like them even more. Today I was catching up on shows on the DVR, and saw her on Jimmy Fallon (I already told you I like him). This put them over the top

Happy to! THIS is the kind of thing I wish shows like ET would cover :)

Argh! My computer is disagreeing with me today. I can't get the clip.

Is your flash current? When I went to Hulu to get the clip, the first thing it told me was to update Flash. Maybe that's you too?

I want you to get to see it :)

So utterly crush-able, aren't they?

[antof9]

And I just heard that she and Will produced it! I've also heard it's surprisingly good :)

This was great and yes, very hopeful! It is great what she said about knowing you BELONG to someone. I think it does change the rules a little - for the better. Doesn't mean you can't talk or admire or hug others but the way you do it and the feelings you bring to it are very different than the non-married. I like what she said about Michael Vartan is like a brother to her. I do that too because in brotherly category it's really hard for the guys to cross that line - "Dude! She's like a sisterto me! I can't say that to her! and you better not talk that way to her either!"

[antof9]

Yes. That.

I am totally frustrated at not being able to see this! Do you know if there is a transcript online? Am a huge Will Smith fan. His wife is not so well known in Europe I think, well, not here anyway, but I have sensed a good vibe from pictures I've seen.

I'll attempt :)

She's talking about her character, Christina Hawthorne (a nurse) ...

JPS: ... so this year you're gonna see Christina challenged with really getting this hospital up to par. She falls in love w/ Michael Vartan, which is gonna be very challenging, considering she's still a widow ...
Jimmy: and that in real life you're married ... to Will Smith
JPS: and in real life I'm married (laughs)
Jimmy: that must be awkward, right?
JPS: you know what? It was interesting because ... um, you know, I had to kiss Michael... and I've been with Will now for 15 years (audience cheers). I stopped doing love scenes once I got married, so I haven't been touched by another man in a very long time.

So ... it's interesting to know when you belong to someone. Like, when you belong to someone, 'cause when another man is touching you, your body is like, (makes alarm sounds) Signals go off -- Invasion, Invasion! alarm, alarm, alarm alarm!

That hardly does it justice, and she is SO lovely, but you get the idea :)
