“#Will Smith Reveals He ‘Considered Suicide’ In Surprisingly Powerful Documentary Trailer
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Will Smith<\/strong> got candid about his mental health, revealing that he once contemplated suicide.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the 53-year-old actor dropped the trailer for his upcoming YouTube<\/a><\/strong> docuseries<\/a>, The Best Shape Of My Life<\/em>, which follows his journey as he attempts to lose 20 pounds in 20 weeks while finishing up his first memoir. He said in the video:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I started this show, I thought I was getting into the best shape of my life physically, but mentally I was somewhere else. I ended up discovering a whole lot of hidden things about myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The trailer then cuts to Smith sitting beside several of his family members \u2014 including his children Trey Smith<\/strong>, Jaden Smith<\/strong>, and Willow Smith<\/strong> \u2014 and talking about how he struggled with suicidal thoughts:<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the only time in my life that I ever considered suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s unclear when the Aladdin<\/em> star was experiencing this \u2014 but we assume that he plans on opening up more about that time of his life in the documentary and possibly his memoir. Towards the end, Smith went on to read a powerful excerpt from his book to his family that expressed:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat you\u2019ve come to understand as Will Smith, the alien-annihilating MC, bigger-than-life movie star, is largely a construction, a carefully crafted and honed character designed to protect myself, to hide myself from the world. To hide the coward.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It seems like everyone will be seeing a whole new side of Will Smith based on this vulnerable and emotional trailer. You can take a look at the clip (below):<\/p>\n
