Even celebrities like Will Smith have crushes on celebrities. The Bad Boys actor once opened up about having frequent dreams about some of Hollywood’s most prolific female superstars. But his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, only let her husband fantasize about celebrities he didn’t know.
This presented a problem whenever Smith worked with one of his celebrity crushes.

There was a point in time when the hitch actor dreamed of dating not just a celebrity, but a group of them. The megastar built fantasies in his head where he had a list of Hollywood’s biggest stars. It was an idea he once explained to his intimacy coach.
“I don’t know where I saw it as a teenager, but the idea of traveling with 20 women that I loved and cared about and all of that seemed like a really great idea,” Smith once told GQ explained. “And then, after we played it through a bit, I was like, ‘That would be awful. That would be horrific.” I said, ‘Can you imagine how miserable?’”
He went on to share how he envisioned Oscar winner Halle Berry in some of those fantasies.
“What she did was essentially clear my mind and let it know it was okay to be me and be who I was. It was okay to think that Halle was fine. It doesn’t make me a bad person to be married and find Halle beautiful. While in my imagination, in my Christian upbringing, even my thoughts were sins,” Smith added.
Will Smith could only fantasize about celebrities he didn’t know
Jada Pinkett has been very open with his wife and was aware of the celebrity crushes Smith had. Jada Pinkett had no problem with the superstar dreaming of being with other women. But she made it clear to him that he could only do this on one condition.
“Part of the deal is that it can’t be women that I know,” he explained to Der Spiegel (via Free Public Library). “It has to be women at a distance, so I have to give them up as soon as I get to know them.”
That meant he got to go on fantasy dates with the likes of Mel B, Alicia Keys, and Beyonce. But he could no longer fantasize about Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, or Rosario Dawson. Smith worked with Hayek in Wild Wild West and he co-starred with Dawson in Men In Black II.
“I think I really like Latin women,” he joked.

However, Will Smith wasn’t the only one to have crushes on celebrities. Speaking to Your Tango, the Gotham actress shared that she has her own list of fantasies. At the same time, she also confirmed that of her husband.
“For me it used to be The Rock, but I don’t have any new ones anymore. For Will, it was Salma Hayek and then Beyoncé for a while,” she said.
Though she might not want her husband to fantasize about women he worked with, she didn’t mind Smith engaging in love scenes. In fact, they even spoke to each other about their on-screen romances.
“Alicia [AliciaBraga, Smith’s costar in the 2007 film I Am Legend] was the first person Will had kissed in a long time. He said, ‘It was so weird. It’s been 10 years since I’ve kissed anyone outside of you like that!’ But it’s not bad at all. Trust me, I’ve kissed countless guys on screen,” said Jada Pinkett.
