I've noticed Will Smith has like slowly ceased to be this cool guy and just started turning into this meme man. Like he used to like one of the coolest dudes in the 90's and now he's just like this totally oblivious meme man.

The shocking truth is…Will Smith was always a fucking dork. He was just charming enough to pull it off, and was involved in so many indisputably good projects that people loved him mostly because of the stuff he was in rather than for himself.

Wild Wild West pretty much shattered that image and it's never recovered. It's only gotten sadder over time with flop (MIB 2) after flop (Shark Tale) after flop (After Earth) ad nauseam. Will Smith hasn't starred in a movie most people agree was good in over 20 years, and he hasn't changed an iota since he was big in the 90's.

Will Smith hasn't gotten any less cool, he just WAS NEVER COOL but was involved in cool stuff enough he captured a lot of second-hand cool.
