There aren’t many real, long-lasting friendships in the entertainment and sports businesses that get across the lines of their fields. On the other hand, Rodrygo Goes and Will Smith have been close friends for 10 years and have a really interesting bond.

This special bond began in the early 2010s, when Rodrygo was a growing star in the youth soccer system in Brazil. While in Brazil, Will Smith was blown away by Rodrygo’s amazing skills and charming attitude. Both of them were very interested in doing their best, growing as people, and helping others. This made them feel extremely close.
