“You’re not hallucinating. It’s like both realities are 100 percent present. So you know you’re in this room. You’re sitting in the room. You don’t lose sight. It’s not, like, superimposed on this reality. It’s totally separate. I’m drinking, I’m sitting there, and then, all of the sudden, it’s like I start seeing all of my money flying away, and my house is flying away, and my career is gone away. I’m like, ‘Ugh!’”
On the internet, this part of the Letterman interview with the Focus actor is being shared. Some online users criticized Smith for his failing career, while others pointed the finger at Jada Pinkett Smith.

“I’m like, ‘I don’t see you, baby.’ The shaman is like, ‘Relax, relax, relax.’ And she tells me, ‘Sit up. Then slowly I stopped caring about my money, I just wanted to get to Willow.”
