In 2016, during a trip to promote his superhero flick “Suicide Squad,” Smith revealed that Dubai was one of his favorite cities in the world.
“I feel like Dubai dreams the way I dream,” he said.
“When I landed, I was like, that’s how I would build the city if I were building a city. The emirate really flows with who I am,” Smith has previously shared. “I love the energy of progress here. It’s the way the people and the royal family, how they have the design and the ideas. Everything wants to be the best and I love that energy.”
