Will Smith transitioned from action blockbusters to romantic comedies with 'Hitch' in 2005, a move that marked a significant change in his career. The film, which featured Smith as a dating coach, faced creative tensions during production, particularly between Smith and director Andy Tennant. Tennant expressed doubts about the film's outcome but was pleasantly surprised by its box office success, leading to 'Hitch' becoming a beloved rom-com that grossed over $371 million globally.

One iconic scene was written on the spot at Smith's last-minute request.
After gaining fame as a Grammy-winning hip-hop artist, Smith added TV star and then movie star to his résumé.
