What political views does he or she hold. Etcera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will Smith is no exception. He might in fact, be the rule. If you are a 90s child, you will especially remember Will Smith&#8217;s stunning performance in Men in Black &#8211; the sci-fi movie which deals with aliens from outer space invading earth, and a special task force called &#8220;Men in Black&#8221; whose duty is to monitor and contain them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that&#8217;s not all. Will Smith lives in the heart of countless fans as the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. He&#8217;s also a sucessful rapper, producer, writer, comedian and media personality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in the year 2019, Will Smith is making headlines for something even more shocking and revolutionary: his conversion to Hinduism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smith was raised in a Baptist household and attended a Catholic school. In a 2013 interview, he said that he did not identify as religious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, after having participated in several Hindu rituals, the blockbuster actor said he feels a deep connection with Hindu Spirituality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019, a Hindu organization officially welcomed Will Smith to Hinduism via their Facebook Page while the world cheered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t believe me?
