During a press conference in Tokyo to promote his new movie I Am Legend, actor Will Smith, who plays the lead role, accidentally revealed the ending of the film to the reporters and audience in attendance.
The unintentional spoiler took everyone by surprise, including co-producer and co-writer Akiva Goldsman, who was seated next to Smith.
Goldsman immediately reacted, shouting, “Don’t spoil the ending!” Realizing his mistake, Will Smith quickly apologized and asked the audience to refrain from reporting what he had just said.
Remarkably, the press kept their word, and no articles or information about the movie’s ending surfaced after the event. The incident highlighted both Will Smith’s charm and the integrity of the reporters who respected his request, ensuring that the film’s climax remained a secret until its official release.
