Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “The Nutty Professor”

Jada Pinkett
Though Jada had been on our radar for a long time, many in mainstream America considered The Nutty Professor to be her breakout film. Pinkett doesn’t necessarily see it that way. In an interview with MovieLine, she said,
“That was a fun movie. Even though my character didn’t do much–she basically smiled and looked pretty–that was very different for Jada. I think people are really starting to see me in a different light and I need to start seeing myself in that same light. Leading Lady. Whoa, OK.”
They really were. During the same time she was offered a role in Independence Day with her then boyfriend Will Smith. But she was already committed to The Nutty Professor.
