...in Six Degrees of Separation:

The Six Degrees scene in Will is not the first time he's opened up about his feelings for Channing. In a sit-down interview with Esquire in February 2015, Smith talked about the "dangers" of method acting.

"With Six Degrees of Separation, I got a taste early of the dangers of going too far for a character," he told the magazine. "My character was in love with Stockard Channing's character. And I actually fell in love with Stockard Channing."

"Will Smith the human being did?" asked Esquire reporter Scott Raab.

"Will Smith. So the movie was over and I went home, and I was dying to see Stockard. I was like, 'Oh no! What have I done?' " Smith told Esquire. "That was my last experience with Method acting, where you're reprogramming your mind. You're actually playing around with your psychology. You teach yourself to like things and to dislike things."

He continued: "It is a really dangerous place when you get good at it. But once I had that experience, I was like, No more Method acting. I was spendingfor Six Degrees, I wanted to perform well so badly that I was spending six and seven and eight days in character before shooting, and you have to be careful with that."

When it said Channing, I was assuming Channing Tatum, not the beauty school dropout from Grease.
