Will Smith

Will Smith was terrified his career was in tatters during an ayahuasca hallucination.

Speaking to David Letterman on Netflix's 'My Next Guest Needs No Introduction', the 53-year-old actor feared his career was over after the infamous Chris Rock Oscars slap once he took the drug.

He said: "I'm drinking, I'm sitting there, and then, all of the sudden, it's like I start seeing all of my money flying away, and my house is flying away, and my career is gone away. I'm like, 'Ugh!' And I'm trying to grab for my money and my career. My whole life is getting destroyed. My fear.

"I'm in there and I'm wanting to vomit and all of that. I hear a voice saying, 'This is what life is.'

The vision then changed as he heard his daughter Willow, 21, yelling out: "Daddy, help me! Daddy! How come you won't help me?

"I'm like, 'I don't see you, baby.' The shaman is like, 'Relax, relax, relax.' And she tells me, 'Sit up'. Then slowly I stopped caring about my money, I just wanted to get to Willow... I stopped caring about my house. I stopped caring about my career."
