Will Smith Says He Contemplated Killing His Father In New Memoir
Will Smith Reveals He Contemplated Killing His Own Father In New Memoir
Last month, an excerpt taken from Will Smith’s new memoir titled “Will,” detailed how his father’s abuse “defined who I am today.” He wrote, “My father tormented me. And he was also one of the greatest men I’ve ever known,” Smith shared in “Will.”
“He was one of the greatest blessings of my life, and also one of my greatest sources of pain.”
In another excerpt exclusively taken by ET Canada as his book is gearing up to be released, Will further explains the pain his abusive father caused him and his mother while revealing that he once contemplated killing his late dad.

Sharing a specific moment, Smith said, his father — U.S. Air Force veteran Willard Carrol Smith Sr. was sick at the time, with his cancer growing worse. While trying his best to deal with the trauma of his childhood, Smith considered killing his dad in order to avenge his mother.
“That when I was big enough, when I was strong enough, when I was no longer a coward, I would slay him. I paused at the top of the stairs. I could shove him down, and easily get away with it. I’m Will Smith. No one would ever believe I killed my father on purpose. I’m one of the best actors in the world.”
He continued, “My 911 call would be Academy Award level. As the decades of pain, anger, and resentment coursed then receded, I shook my head and proceeded to wheel Daddio to the bathroom.”
As the news site notes, Smith’s parents separated when he was 13 years old and finally divorced in 2000. His dad, Willard Sr. later passed away in 2016.
