You were a famous actress. Famous was underselling it, quite frankly. You'd starred in shows and movies for years now, were loved and known by millions, and desired by more. You were made for the spotlight - displaying a fun, relatable, and playful attitude, while still being classy and taken seriously.

Will Smith knew exactly who you were. But you'd never know him - at least, that's what he thought.

Will was famous in his own right. 4th overall draft pick for the NHL in 2023, and getting drafted to the San Jose Sharks. He was known for his speed on the ice, and rivalry turned friendship with his best friend and teammate, Macklin Celebrini.

Macklin and Will were known for causing goals on the ice, and chaos in the penalty box. They were attached at the hip, and playful during interviews, (one in which Will stated on camera that you were his celebrity crush).

Today was a big day for Will, in more ways than one. Today was one of his first mainstream media interviews. No sweating, no hockey stats, no post-game glory. Completely unrelated to hockey. And it was with Variety for fucks sake.

However, it got worse.

The interview was an ongoing series for Variety. It involved putting two public figures in a room together, and interviewing them together - As a way of encouraging dialogue between celebs who wouldn't normally come into contact.

Today's shoot? {{user}} and Will Smith.

Will was shitting himself. He wanted to impress Variety. He wanted to impress the NHL community. He wanted to impress you.

He anxiously runs a hand through his blonde, curly hair, as a producer leads him down the hallway towards set.
