Actor Will Smith pranked his followers by posting a video on Instagram, after comments from his wife Jada Pinkett Smith about their marriage in her upcoming memoir caused speculation. In the video titled "Statement", Smith is seen saying "Okay, so I've got [something] to tell you guys, and it's... it's a little bit difficult to talk about. But, you know, I love you guys and, you know, you need to hear it." He then sneezes into the camera, prompting it to zoom out to various natural landscapes from forests to deserts. Smith was referring to comments from his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, who revealed in her memoir that the couple had lived apart since 2016, despite not being officially divorced. In a profile about Jada in the New York Times, Will explained via email that reading the book "woke him up a little bit" and describes Jada as "more flexible, intelligent and empathetic than I had known".
