On his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's Facebook Watch series Red Table Talk, Will Smith opened up about his weight and health, revealing that he reached his highest weight ever: 225 pounds during their summer vacation.
Smith also shared that he can go three days without passing a bowel movement, a conversation that arose from his family making fun of him for his weight gain.
His wife, Jada, and daughter, Willow, had started calling him 'Pudge Muffin' due to his weight gain, which Smith used as an excuse to talk about their family's health and wellness.
Smith's willingness to open up about his health and urging his family to do the same is a positive example of health reinforcement.
As noted by Decider, Smith's comment about not passing bowel movements often was met with a humorous response from his son, Jaden, who said, 'That's why your farts smell like that.'
Smith's conversation about his weight and health is not unusual, as people's gastrointestinal habits can change and differ for various reasons, including location, stress, and more.
