Actor Will Smith said in an interview that Hitler set out to do what he thought was “good.”
“Even Hitler didn’t wake up going, ‘Let me do the most evil thing I can do today,'” Smith told Scotland’s Daily Record in an interview. “I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was ‘good.’ Stuff like that just needs reprogramming.”
Smith is currently starring in the new movie “I am Legend.”
