Piers Morgan claimed that actor Will Smith warned him before an interview with Jada Pinkett Smith not to upset her, or he would become angry.
"I interviewed Jada Pinkett Smith a few years ago at CNN and Will Smith actually turned up unexpectedly, and he sat in the corner watching. But before the interview started, [Smith] came up to me, and he said, 'Mr. Morgan, don't upset my wife. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry,'" Morgan said Monday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
Morgan said, "And I thought of that last night because he's right. Nobody would like him when he's that angry. So there's clearly another side to this guy. He's clearly a very emotional … [and] he looked quite disturbed. I don't know what's going on in his life, but it certainly came out of nowhere."
