| "Will Smith's Height Missed in 'Independence Day: Resurgence': Vivica A. Fox Vivica A. Fox, who starred in the original "Independence Day" alongside Will Smith, has recently spoken out about the sequel, saying it lacked something with the absence of the popular actor's presence. In an interview with Fox 5 Atlanta, Fox relayed her opinion of the 2016 movie, saying that there was something missing without the iconic actor and his significant height. "In the sequel we didn't have the advantage of having Will Smith in the equation, he's tall, he's 6'2," Fox said. "So that was one thing that was lacking." Fox also spoke about the significance Smith's absence had on the movie, saying that she felt it did not measure up to the original film. "The sequel wasn't good without him," Fox continued. "Let's be honest. I feel like it was missing something." Despite her critique of the sequel, Fox also elaborated on the admiration she has for Smith and his incredible presence in the film. "Will Smith, he just has that magical touch," Fox said. "He was able to carry that film and it was a huge hit.” It is clear that Fox misses the power that Smith added to the original "Independence Day" and felt that his height was a great contribution to the blockbuster movie. It is obvious that Fox believes that without the Will Smith height, there was something not quite right in the sequel. |
