Chapter 2: How did Jacob Latimore start his career in acting and music?
Chapter 3: What is it like working on long-term TV projects like The Chi?
You know, we want to change this line right here and do this line. And you got Will Smith looking at you like, you can do it? And I'm like... You're like, yeah.
Yeah.
Like, no, why you changing my lines? I'm rehearsing all night. But it's just, it's cool. And it's a part of the process and it keeps us uncomfortable, you know, which is good for growth, right?
Absolutely. I wanted to ask you about working with Will. Will Smith is like everybody's icon, you know, in our North Star, especially in music and acting. We just, that's the place that we aim to go. What was it like working with him?
I was, you know, I ain't gonna lie. I was actually, I was fanned out.
I can imagine.
I think I actually took a picture with him and then posted it online. And I got an email from production saying, hey, you need to take that down. He's in costume.
Yeah, that's a thing. You know, my gosh, I almost lost a job like this. Yes. Jamie Foxx.
I learned a lot working with him. Yeah. And just watching him and also just seeing how it takes to be that level of a. of a brand and a celebrity. Like, you know, he's just, it was, he was like, we outside filming in New York and he's got to memorize his lines, but he got like screaming fans on the corner and you know, no telling what he's dealing with in his personal life and all these things.

Chapter 4: What was Jacob Latimore’s experience working with Will Smith?
Really?
I started off. dating young relationships. So I was in like back to back relationship for like 10 years.
Yeah. I was a habitual dater. Like I break up and somebody was like, I'm like, yep, next, next, next.
Cause one was public, but the other ones was private and long and no one's seen that. So I'm just like, I don't want to preach that. Oh, you should be single. You should never date. Like, that's not what I want to put out there. I just think, For me in this season, it's just good for me to enjoy my home. Yes.
And the silence of my career. Jacob's important.
Yeah, you know, and just take that time out before I share it with somebody.
And I'll tell you something, because I'm a lot older than you. Okay. When I had a season in my life where I didn't date as well. And I feel like when you're like us and we've dated so, like, frequently and you have all these different people and these different energies and just pouring, pouring, pouring. Because when you're in a relationship, it's all about your partner.
And there comes a time where you do have to be selfish or whatever you want to call it. But I think in those moments, you learn so much about yourself. You learn how to figure out what it is you like. Because sometimes we can be in relationships like, whatever you like, whatever you want to do, it's like, what do I like? Right.
You know, and I feel like in those moments of solitude and just not being with somebody, you learn exactly what you want. So I'm proud of you. Thank you. Yeah. Because a lot of people, they say, you shouldn't be alone. No, sometimes you need those moments.
