Will Smith is one of the few actors who can switch up his narrative when he wants. From releasing his inner comedian to taking on some truly versatile roles, there is not much he can not do. However, after being put through the wringer by his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, it looks like the actor is already bouncing back. The 55-year-old recently surprised his social media following with another one of his hilarious posts.

While he is known for his meme-worthy posts online, this one came shortly after the star had gone off the grid. Although fans were not expecting it, he let his humor shine through.

Recently, Will Smith went through an emotional rollercoaster ride with the rest of the world. It all began with Jada’s sudden marital revelations before her memoir, Worthy. While that sent the online world into a frenzy, the Emancipation actor switched his notifications off and enjoyed some quiet time. However, he has now come back with a bang. In fact, he took to his Instagram to show off his basketball skills in a hilarious fail video, captioned “Ball don’t lie.”

The clip showed the star attempting a free throw which ended up going into some classic NBA fail moments and even edited in a Vine video and a Modern Family clip too. Before making his shot, Will joked that it had been 63 years since he played basketball. Although the Men In Black actor had turned off commenting on the post, fans were glad he was back after the month he had gone through.

Earlier this month, Jada Pinkett Smith came out with the news that she and Will had been separated since back in 2016. While that shook the actor’s fans, she did not stop there. After she was done talking about everything the couple had gone through over the years, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star came out in support of his wife. In fact, he even wrote a letter to her that was read on Jay Shetty’s podcast.

In the letter, Will said that his wife’s memoir had woken him up and he even wrote, “I love you endlessly.” While that may have only confused fans of the actor even further, he proved that the two still do love each other a lot. Thankfully, the revelations have reached their end after the memoir, Worthy, made its way to bookshelves all over the world.
