Will Smith’s mom, Colleen, joined Cat Toffoli and Julie Petry’s Never Offside podcast!
On the podcast, Colleen detailed her experience working in ticketing for the ’90s Chicago Bulls. At one point, she accompanied Dennis Rodman to Saturday Night Live.
“That series ‘The Last Dance,’ that was my life,” she explained. “That was the time I was working there. I have a championship ring, the fifth championship ring.”
Colleen also shared that she wanted her kids exposed to as many sports as possible growing up, and that Will hit a walk-off grand slam to end his Little League career.
Check out the interview to learn more about Will’s favorite movie and baking prowess, Colleen’s fashion, the Smith family’s packed travel schedule, and more!
