Keke
Palmer
is
thankful
to
this
man—Will
Smith,
that
is.
The
Nickelodeon
alum
recently
shared
that
she
considered
getting
emancipated
from
her
parents
at
17
years
old
while
working
as
a
young
Hollywood
star.
However,
she
changed
her
mind
after
an
unexpected
phone
call
from
the
Hitch
actor,
who
gave
her
a
ring
while
she
was
on
the
set
of
True
Jackson,
VP,
which
ran
from
2008
to
2011.
“I
get
a
call
from
this
really,
really
obscure
number,”
Keke
shared
on
the
Nov.
19
episode
of
The
Toast
podcast. “And
I’m
like,
‘What?
This
is
weird,
I’m
not
answering
this.’”
After
missing
the
call,
the
Nope
actress—who
shares
son
Leodis,
21
months,
with
ex
Darius
Jackson—realized
she
had
a
voicemail
from
Will,
who
encouraged
her
to
power
through
after
learning
of
her
situation
from
her
lawyer.
“Hey,
Keke.
It’s
Will,’”
Keke
said
while
impersonating
the
Oscar
winner.
“‘We’re
over
here
doing
Karate
Kid
with
[my
son]
Jaden.
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
I
talked
to
[your
lawyer].
He
let
me
know
everything
you’re
going
through,
and
I
want
you
to
know
sometimes
it’s
hard
being
the
first,
but
you’ll
get
through.
Just
keep
staying
focused,
love
on
your
family,
and
y’all
gonna
be
good.’”
