In a recently released trailer for his six-part unscripted series for YouTube Originals, actor Will Smith opened up about his mental health.
For his new fitness docuseries ‘Best Shape of My Life’, where Smith sets out to lose 20 pounds in 20 weeks, he shared that at one point, he contemplated death by suicide.
In the trailer, Will said, “When 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”. Also in the trailer, Will can be seen sitting around a table talking to his family when he says, “That was the only time in my life that I ever considered suicide”.
The docuseries is produced by Smith and Pinkett Smith’s production company, Westbrook Media. The first two episodes of ‘Best Shape of My Life’ will air on Monday, Nov. 8, one day before his memoir hits shelves.
