As if the world needed more glimpse into the relationship of Will and Jada Smith, Will Smith now has a memoir available to the masses.
It’s only fair. Jada Pickett Smith hosts her show, “Red Table Talk,” where she airs her dirty laundry. Now Will Smith has a book to do the same.
At this point, I feel like the fans know too much about the couple, but here we are savoring every new headline.
The memoir entitled “Will” has gotten the star a lot of press, including interviews with Oprah, reviews and even reading some chapters to his children on Smith’s YouTube series. Will Smith is many things: an actor, comedian, and musician, all of which are explored in his memoir. But “Will” goes further than that — it takes what we know on the surface then nose-dives into the gritty details of his life before fame, during and ends on his 50th birthday celebration — a journey through time.
This nose-dive shows Smith’s fans a new side of the successful man we know and love; Smith shows his fears and cowardice, bringing perspective to his marriage, the way he raised his kids and his relationship with parents as well as with himself.
“Will” was co-written by Mark Manson, author of “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck,” so I expect there to be some witty if not eye-opening realizations throughout the memoir that demonstrates Smith’s willpower. The memoir, according to Oprah, is the “greatest thing [she’s] ever read.” While it’s with the reader whether you’re a fan or not, you can’t deny that Will Smith has led an interesting life.
The memoir is sold in all bookstores. There is also an audiobook version narrated by Smith himself.
