“Quoicoubeh!” Will Smith takes up French
Who would have imagined the Bad Boys star coming out with such an expression?
When it comes to promoting their latest release, distributors have to work extra hard – even more so in the age of social media. “buzz” is synonymous with additional entries into dark rooms.
