<p>Will Smith, who was with his daughter on tour, spoke about when she decided she was done performing and said he'll "never forget" that moment.</p>
<p>"We were in Dublin, Ireland. Willow comes off stage, she was on tour with Justin Bieber," the actor said in a new documentary, "Number One on the Call Sheet: Black Leading Men in Hollywood."</p>
<p>"Hit record, 20,000 kids whipping their hair in Dublin, and she comes off stage and is like, 'I'm done, Daddy,'" he recalled. "And I was like, 'Yeah, baby, that was a great show!' And she was like, 'No, no ― I mean I'm done! I'm ready to go home!'"</p>

<p>"I was like, 'Well, no ― you can't go home, sweetie, you promised Mr. Jay-Z that you were gonna do these 30 days of this tour.' She said, 'No, Daddy, you promised Mr. Jay-Z, '" the "King Richard" star said. "And I was like, 'Sweetie, I get it, but we promised as a family and you have to finish.'"</p>
<p>"She looked at me ― I'll never forget the look in her eyes — and she was like, 'It doesn't matter to you that I'm finished, Daddy?' And I was like, 'Well, yes, sweetie, it matters, but you can't be finished. ' And she was like, 'Oh, OK.'"</p>

<p>Will Smith wrote about the incident in his 2021 memoir and recalled that Willow came skipping into the kitchen as she said, "Good morning, Daddy."</p>
<p>"My jaw nearly dislocated, dislodged and shattered on the kitchen floor: My world-dominating, hair-whipping, future global superstar was totally bald," the actor wrote. "During the night, Willow had shaved her entire head. My mind raced — how was she going to whip her hair if she didn't have any? Who the hell wants to pay to watch some kid whip their head back and forth?"</p>

<p>Willow Smith later asserted that she took drastic action because she felt she had no control at the time.</p>
<p>"I was super young, and I had a dream, but all I really wanted to do was sing, and I didn't equate that with all the business and the stress that ended up coming with it," the now-24-year-old told People magazine in 2019.</p>
<p>"I was just like, 'Whoa, this is not the life that I want,'" she said at the time, adding that shaving her head was "the perfect way to rebel."</p>
