American actor Will Smith talked out about his `one and only date` with Pepa of Salt-N-Pepa, Page Six reported, citing an episode of his `Class of `88` podcast. He admitted that in the late 1980s when he took Sandra "Pepa" Denton out, he was scared. Smith revealed to the audience during the female rap duo`s participation on the show that while Denton had been in a relationship for years, he had been in love with her for years.
He recalled, "We were both going to be in LA at the same time, so I`m going to shoot my shot." "This girl was special and I wanted to impress her, so I rented a white Mercedes convertible just because I needed to floss a little bit," he continued. "I always faked like I had a game. I didn`t really have the game," he said. "I was always in this full-on, trying to give the wildest flavour of having a game, but that might have been the most terrifying I had ever been trying to shoot my shot with Pepa. And I didn`t believe I had a real shot."
