Will Smith, 53, and Stockard Channing, 77, worked together on Six Degrees of Separation back in 1993. In a new interview, the actor revealed how he found himself “yearning” to be with his co-star, despite having a wife and child at home.
He said: “Sheree and I were in the first few months of our marriage with a brand-new baby and for Sheree, I can imagine that this experience was unsettling to say the least.
“She’d married a guy named Will Smith and now she was living with a guy named Paul Poitier [his character in the film].
“And to make matters worse, during shooting I fell in love with Stockard Channing.”
After filming wrapped up, the father-of-three said he, Sheree and Trey moved back to Los Angeles and admitted their marriage was “rocky”.

With this, he said he was “desperately yearning to see and speak to Stockard”.
However, he added nothing came of his feelings.
Will made the confession in his self-titled autobiography, according to People.
In 2015, the Grease star, who has been with long-term partner Daniel Gillham since 1990, reportedly said she was “flattered” after learning her co-star’s feelings.
He opened up about their split on current wife Jada’s Red Table Talk last year, revealing: “I’ve been hurt a lot in my adult life, but I don’t think anything touches the failure of getting divorced from my 2-year-old son’s mother.”
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star moved on and tied the knot with his current wife Jada Pinkett Smith in 1997.
They are parents to 24-year-old Jaden Smith and Willow Smith, 21.
Last year, the couple hit the headlines following claims she had a relationship with R&B artist August Alsina.
