Will Smith credits hard work for success

Will Smith has insisted that he is not a "particularly talented" actor.

Smith claimed that his continuing success on the big screen is the result of a strong work ethic, rather than his acting abilities.

"I've never viewed myself as particularly talented. I've viewed myself as slightly above average in talent," Smith told the Daily Record.

"Where I excel is with a ridiculous, sickening work ethic. While the other guy's sleeping, I'm working. While the other guy's eating, I'm working. While the other guy's making love, I mean, I'm making love, too, but I'm working really hard at it!"

Will is currently promoting his new movie I Am Legend, which sees him take on the role of apocalypse survivor Robert Neville.
