The actor shared footage of himself skydiving, which he described as the "most fun you could have in your life."
Smith also said he aims to make movies that make an impact but doesn't have a favorite genre.
"It's important for me to make movies and music ... that helps the people," he said, switching between English and Spanish. "I'm a big fan of the directors of 'Focus,' they previously worked on the movie 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.' They make films that are action, comedy; they combine all of the genres in one. I want to make movies of all the different colors."
Smith explained that he hadn't yet been in a scandal because he grew up in a religious household. He added that his grandmother and parents wanted him to meet the world with "positive energy and positive attitudes."
"I also had a period before coming into my real fame, where I was 16, 17, 18 years old," he said. "So I did a lot of things before Twitter, before the Internet and all that, so I was able to work it all out by the time I was presented to the world. In that way I had done the thing that I wanted to do."
Smith said that it's difficult, on the other hand, for Justin Bieber, whose whole life is being documented for the public. The actor said he doesn't know how he would have turned out if he had been in Bieber's shoes and added that his own children do not have privacy.

In another segment, Smith played charades with the "Despierta América" group. The hosts split up into two groups, where the men and women went up against each other, and gave Smith clues so he could guess the names of his movies including "Hancock," "Enemy of the State" and "The Pursuit of Happyness."
Although the teams were pretty even, Smith declared a winner.
"In my heart, the ladies won," he said.
Smith also promised that he would practice Spanish more so that he could be even better next time he was on Univision.
