LOS ANGELES — Will Smith usually plays the hero in his summer blockbusters. But in "Hancock," he drinks, swears, mouths off — and goes to prison.
Smith's role as a superhero-gone-bad could be jarring to some moviegoers — but not his children and wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
"Fortunately, our kids are in the business so they kind of understand," the 39-year-old actor told Associated Press Television News at the red-carpet premiere of the film. "But it is such a bizarre shock for them to see daddy being mean. It was fantastic in our house."
The Hollywood couple's son Jaden co-starred with Smith in 2006's "The Pursuit of Happyness"; daughter Willow can now be seen in the family flick "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl."
(Smith's 15-year-old son, Trey, is from his previous marriage.)
Pinkett Smith, 36, said the children were unfazed by Hancock's in-prison therapy sessions.
"The unfortunate part is that they know all about rehab because of (our) family members, so it wasn't a foreign concept to them," she said. "They totally understand and got it."

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

It's going to be an elitist school that only the rich can afford. Big deal!
