Jada Pinkett Smith Regrets Taking Will Smith Away From Work 9/10/08

Actress Jada Pinkett Smith regrets asking husband Will Smith to take a break from acting - because he has become a do-it-yourself fanatic.

Pinkett Smith admits she "might have made a mistake" when she begged the 39-year-old star to take a one-year hiatus after he finished promoting his latest action flick Hancock this year (08).

She says, "It's been tricky. We just moved into the new house not too long ago and he's basically knocking walls down, he's digging up stuff. He's beating it to death... I told him, 'Going back to work after Thanksgiving may be a good idea'.

But the actress insists Smith's added time with the family could lead to some promising new projects for the pair. She adds: "He decided he wanted to focus on developing projects for the family... so now it's all of these excruciating meetings about these movies and projects for the family that he wants to develop. But, you know, that's a beautiful thing that he wants to do that."
