Will Smith recalls the most stunning hit literally he ever received was in the biopic of Muhammad Ali in 2001. Appearing on First We Feast’s Hot Ones , the Oscar winner said, “the hardest I've ever been hit on a movie set," adding, "My trainer was trying to get me to get the angle of my spine forward.
