Will Smith's New Memoir Reveals He Thought About Killing His Abusive Father “I’m Will Smith. No one would ever believe I killed my father on purpose.”
He also talks about the complicated relationship he had with his father, William Carroll Smith Sr., during his childhood and adult life, until his dad died of cancer in 2016.
“My father was violent, but he was also at every game, play, and recital. He was an alcoholic, but he was sober at every premiere of every one of my movies,” he writes. “He listened to every record. He visited every studio. The same intense perfectionism that terrorized his family put food on the table every night of my life.”
Smith said that he didn’t intervene after he saw his dad hit his mom, and that that has impacted everything in his life since. “Within everything that I have done since then — the awards and accolades, the spotlights and attention, the characters and the laughs — there has been a subtle string of apologies to my mother for my inaction that day,” he writes. “For failing her in the moment. For failing to stand up to my father. For being a coward.”
