Will Smith Touched By God On Set Of Concussion + Smith Says His Grandmother Was His Connection To God

Christian actor, Will Smith, who portrays Christian Dr. Bennet Omalu in the film “Concussion,” was touched by the spirit of God on the set of the movie, and explains that  his own Christian faith, which was instilled in him by his grandmother, helped him to accurately portray Omalu. “My grandmother was really my connection to God.”

The compassionate story of “Concussion” is about Dr. Omalu, the Nigerian-born forensic pathologist who made headline news after discovering how concussions affect the brain. Dr. Omalu had nothing but praise for Smith:

“He spent time with me and he was very observant. And, in fact, he (Smith) had said what made him accept the role was meeting me,” Omalu told the CP. “The spiritual stuff is deep. We met, we shared, and we communed the love of God, and he also saw the light. The spirit of God also touched him.”

Smith said his own Christian faith, which was instilled in him by his grandmother, helped him to accurately portray Omalu. “My grandmother was really my connection to God.”

“She was my spiritual teacher, she was that grandmother at the church, the one having the kids doing the Easter presentations and putting on the Christmas plays and her kids and grandkids had to be first. She was the most spiritually certain person that I had ever met in my entire life. Even to the point that when she was dying, she was happy, like she was really excited about going to heaven.”
