Down-And-Out Will?

Will SmithWith stars flocking to rehab like flies, nothing really surprises us these days.

But the idea of Will Smith going off the rails is a little difficult to envisage...

The Kingdom's producer Michael Mann revealed a thing or two about Will to Sky Showbiz last night, telling us:

"He's a drunk, he's alienated.

"He gets no gratification, he's slack - he does a lot of damage.

"LA would like to get rid of him but they can't. And he doesn't like people in LA very much."

Um, hello?

Is this the same Will we know and love?

Well - not quite.

In fact, it's Will's movie character, Johnny Hancock,which Michael is actually referring to here.

Michael MannWill is set to star as the tortured superhero in an upcoming comedy flick which Michael is co-producing.

Michael told us: "It's hilariously funny. Will can pull off anything."

We're glad to here it - so long as it's all in good humour.
