Will Smith has admitted that he is "terrified" at the prospect of daughter Willow Smith dating. The Hollywood actor has described how he is freaked out at the thought of his daughter going out with boys.

Speaking about his 11-year-old daughter, Will Smith has told People magazine, "It's coming, and I'm nervous about it. Having two boys and a girl, I realize that boys take trouble to other people's houses, and girls bring it home."

Talking at the New York City premiere of Men in Black III he added, "So, the thing we are struggling with is the rules, and setting fair rules for the boys and for Willow, but she's not having any of that."

"When Willow does bring a boy home, I'm going to screen him and find out everything about him," he vows. "And that's going to happen when she's 40, when she's allowed to go on dates!"

The actor has been in the media a lot recently as he tours to promote his new film. He recently was forced to explain why he slapped a reporter during a red carpet event in Moscow.

"I was in Moscow [and] we were doing an interview and [The journalist] says 'I'm your biggest fan, can I have a hug,'" Smith explained. "So I go to give this joker a hug and he tries to like lean in to kiss me […] it's just awkward Dave."

The video of Smith back-handing the reporter went viral last week, showing the Ukrainian member of the media attempting to kiss the actor on the mouth.

"What the hell is your problem buddy?" Smith asked the reporter before pushing him and following the action with a slap to his face.
