Jada Pinkett Smith Opening Up About Drug Addiction In Her Family – Magic Mike XXL

Jada Pinkett Smith: “Will and myself, neither one of us had easy upbringings. And I think there is just a state of gratitude that just never leaves. Even though we are here, there are still a lot of people that have been – I wouldn’t say left behind – but haven’t come on this journey with us. We still have to deal with family members who are falling to drug addictions, to being incarcerated. You know, we are still dealing with real wordly problems that people think because you are in Hollywood, that you are immune to the hardships that people are dealing with on a daily basis. And you are not. You are not immune to it. So when you have that kind of juxtaposition, you have your cousin who almost OD’d on heroin and you are going to a movie premiere… it kind of keeps everything on the level. (…) All this is nice, but this ain’t everything.”
