Will Smith details battling suicidal thoughts in new YouTube series

Will Smith came forth shocking his fans after revealing he once became suicidal.

The actor, in a new YouTube docuseries titled Best Shape of My Life, opened about his mental trauma in a clip released on Friday.

He stated, "When I started this show, I thought I was getting into the best shape of my life, physically. But, mentally, I was somewhere else. And I ended up discovering a whole lot of hidden things about myself."

The YouTube docuseries focuses on the Grammy award-winning actor's fitness and health adventures— but the actor confessed that there was a period in his life when he wanted to commit suicide during his darkest days.

At the end of the video, the multi-faceted tycoon seemed to read a personal piece from his memoir to his family with teary eyes.

He also took to Instagram and shared a video collection of his workouts with his fans earlier this month. "And to think Sundays used to be for muffins. #bestshapeofmylife," he mentioned in the caption.
