"Stop thinking about the damn wall, your job is to lay this brick perfectly, then move onto the next brick. Don't be worrying about no wall, your only concern is one brick." Wow, I love that!
it's kind of stupid out of context. Even if you lay your brick perfectly but the wall is going tin the wrong direction, it's no good is it? You need both - the detail and the vision
@@lechprotean ?? You already know you’re gonna build the wall, like you know what your end goal is. You backtrack the plan (blueprint/steps), then proceed to lay each brick (complete the task) perfectly. You want to be shredded while obese: you gonna look at Cristiano Ronaldo all day or complete your workout? If you can’t extrapolate, just say that.
Spoken like a true stone mason. I think I heard Will say that his dad was a brick mason one time. But the line can be heard every day on the line. It is what a mason lives by. I worked on a crew for two years. Only black man on a crew of Hispanics and it was the best job of my life. The views from a top of unfinished structures and to drive by them all the time and know you had a hand in putting that together. This by far was my favorite episode.
Will has motivated me to become the best version of myself physically, spiritually, mentally and financially. Now that I’ve typed it, I hold myself accountable! Starting now!
Very true. Praying that my boyfriend, family, and myself ofc push me enough to lose the weight that I know I need to lose. To be happy again with myself and love me more
@@shudanielle6177 If you want to be happy and love yourself why do you need motivation? Motivate yourself your mind is powerful. If you want family help fine..if they willing to help. But, if ppl are not look towards yourself
Entertaining as it is, I think the series is sending the wrong message. Too many ppl never get themselves to start, thinking is hard. It is not, the workout is the highlight of my day and i know im a lazy person. You dont need an army of nutritionists and trainers following you around all day, unless you have specific targets in specific timeframes, like when you are an actor. Ppl should know ALL you need is 30-40 mins/day and about 2-3 years, and everyone has 30 mins. You dont even need to go to a gym or buy expensive equipment, just free information you can find online.
Will.. never take these down. I must say they are very therapeutic. Every video brought a sense of nourishment, comfort, and accepting the things you can't change. Its when I'm alone with my thoughts that I really turn to these videos. Your life story helps me to grapple with mine. Thank you so much!!
Thank you Will. Your story is in so many of us. When you strip yourself of all that ego, your authentic self comes out. The real you. I think your so brave and show the amplified you and the human you.God bless you ❤🙏💙
This is what it sometimes looks like when parents push their children for perfection. It is a carrot that the horse will never catch. I'm glad he has the support system he needs to challenge and change what he feels needs to be changed. Very proud of him!
Umm 🤔 he’s famous, rich, idealized, and honestly more fit than many men his age. He has self-discipline and ambition. Doesn’t seem like a bad upbringing.
Give this man a round of applause! He's showing off his true authentic self at the age of 53, trying to inspire to love yourself overall while being able to create a attainable healthy lifestyle.
Now I understand why you referenced "Brick by Brick" in your lyrics on your feature with Joyner Lucas's self-titled homage to you. Dad was a super solid man; I'm challenging myself more now because of his advice, and you. Thank you, Will.
As someone currently studying to become a personal trainer I am heartbroken by all the mean-hearted comments and cruel criticism from self professed fitness "professionals." Self care, inside and out, is hard work. Period. I may only be a drop in a bucket and yet I am here to say: Thank you. For sharing your story, for sharing your journey, for sharing the truth of being the caretaker of a human body. I am enormously proud of you for having the courage to be real with not only the world, but also with yourself. Sometimes that is the hardest part. Your story has given me more motivation than can be measured to keep working hard so I can get out there and encourage those in their own personal wall building. Your fathers wall and the lesson it teaches is now etched deep in my heart. I will lay each of my bricks to perfection. Keep showing up for yourself, Will. Brick by brick.
I got an adrenaline rush just watching him climb to the top of the spiral. Motivation. This guy's been my hero since around age 6. Always feel I can do anything when I watch him. Got me through a lot of hard times growing up. I appreciate you man
@@vivek27789 why would you listen to a guy that's selling a lie about his dad as something truthful? anyways, Will is a 53 years old guy who knows how he's portraying himself and making sure people buy his book.. he's making of the whole thing a product.
The issues I had with myself in my weight loss journey, was that doing cardio and lifting would mess with my mental because of the scale. I had to just stop lifting and do more cardio. 278lbs to 170lbs Drop the weight first then build my muscles. 170lbs to 184lbs currently. I love this series! Thanks for sharing all the hard work
Woah thats crazy man. Had a similar experience i got from 250 to 170 through cardio and strict diet within like half a year when i was 16-17 and was disgusted with the end result, just wobbly mass with no definition whatsoever. Since then hit the weights for 6 years and i‘m 185 for like 2 years now no matter if i diet or get bulky. Its dumb but still get slightly better by the day with weights etc. Anyways big ups man sky is the limit, it really changes you troughout when you accomplish things like that. A confidence and energy is left behind that noone can ever take away from you. From being aftaid to go out in a shirt to being pissed when you can‘t wear one because it‘s too cold. Enjoy the roots of your hard work bro.
I would make a heartfelt recommendation to do resistance training, even if you feel you want to lose weight at any cost it is not worth it to do so in an unsafe way. When our bodies are in calorie restriction, it will break down muscle, unless we give it the stimulus to keep it (and the protein to maintain it). Focus on health and fitness and feeling good, because that number on the scales includes water, muscle, and bone -- and you want those things! Take care, hope this helps.
I've grown a new level of respect for this guy, growing up I thought his perfection was easy and joy came every morning. This series humanized him for me, he is an amazing human being.
You’re human, and transparency takes great courage. As far as I’m concerned, you have been and always will be THE epic icon of our generation, Gen X. Thank you, Will!! 👏👏
I literally felt the height of that building when he was dangling his feet off the side of it. 😬 Will has always been such an inspiration to me. A true living legend.
Ok so many thoughts. Um first, yes Will always goes for the best of the best. So no surprise seeing you here Dr. Ramini. Love your work!! 2. So how real are we gonna keep it here in the comments? 3. 90% of the time i will be judging. But! Im trying real hard to like and believe this is authentic, genuine, real. So far this seems like a parody within a very well acted reality. 4. Since I am investing time in actually watching this I suppose I will have some reactions in support of Will's hard work. Yes, its undeniable that the man works hard. But i cant help but say to myself "really man? You are actually complaining about your workouts and food you are paying professionals bringing to you? At the very best locations in the world? With all the equipment, space and people catered to you?" So thats why in my kind i say Nah! This cant be "real". 5. Yes know Will is a real person with actual feelings and struggles and all that stuff. But I thought he was more in tuned and sensitive to the wants and struggles of people out there that have .01% of what he has. Money/privilege wise. So for those reasons, Im sorry but I dont buy it... so far.
I'm grateful to see the realness of this. It made me uncomfortable to see how he parents himself with his father's voice, because it sounds so critical and harsh. It's a mindset where you can't enjoy anything unless you hit the goal. All that matters is the destination, and not the journey. But it reminds me to be softer and gentler with myself in my own healing journey, so I'm grateful for this transparency.
This man is so hard on himself! Really makes me realize how we all can be sometimes without even realizing. So heart-warming to see him dangling off the top of the world's tallest building like it was the edge of a swimming pool on a regular afternoon 😅👏
Dr. Ramani through this whole thing is such a gift. The courage and vulnerability this requires is unimaginable. The production is second to none. Just stunning. And the way you honor your family and DJ jazzy Jeff is an example to all of us!
I have been losing 1.25 lbs a week for the last 7 1/2 months. It is heartbreaking when the scale doesn't move - it's always hard. Will was not obese when he started and it was definitely a huge challenge for him to lose 22 lbs. I want to give props to all the regular folks out there fighting this battle all on their own without being able to escape and have trainers and nutritionists. This was fun to watch - just know it's always hard and that he had so much help....I'm inspired to continue my journey on my own.
This has inspired me to get in the best shape of my life..I’m 34 and was in phenomenal shape in my teens and early 20s..now my body is similar to Wills..I battled through addiction and am 7 years clean..I’m about to start this battle
You truly gave DJ Jazzy Jeff the biggest bouquet of flowers by the level of the attention and the amount of adoration your choice of words showed. And if I recall correctly from others videos of hearing you speak of him, you had a strained relationship with your father.. in part due to the qualities that you picked up from him. All that to say, it is beautiful how important you made him and his lessons as 3rd party narration for this and your life. You have never stopped hearing his voice and you have never forgotten what DJ Jazzy Jeff made you feel to the point you made HIM the leading act. Each episode is inspiring. And to see you at the very top of that building, though another turn in your non defeatist cycle, to see you up there was worth the tribulation. Atop of the highest building ON EARTH. Wow Mann.
Because it doesn’t matter 🤷♀️ he needed someone to record him while he was climbing UP it. Because It’s too dangerous to climb with one hand on the ladder & the other hand holding a camera 📸 lol
Just imagine being able to travel to one of the most expensive places on earth and taking your entire team with you, Unplanned. Will may not have the body he had when he was younger but I'm sure he has the life that he dreamt of at that age. Kudos. Shalom!
The hard bit is laying the brick ‘every day’ and deciding if you do or don’t, is the rest or the wall worth it, and processing the decision to give it up without self shaming. In that space you learn more of who you are and compassion for self and others. Other bricks and walls come along or have existed in the past and those successes are not diminished by other choices not to complete a task. The story behind the bricks is one of a father teaching his son to keep going and thrive especially when the history of the ancestors is one of struggle and survival.
I didn’t love you for your appearance in the first place it was more for the way you carried yourself and the role model that you are and have always been for me growing up. ❤️ keep going Will

Man as a professional hard surface flooring installer I can’t even begin to express how relatable the opening of this video is. Felt like I needed to hear that message.
The first man ever in my hometown that is the realest inside and out. To strip yourself to the raw and show it is amazing to me. I gained weight on top of just having another baby December 2019 . COVID did nothing but help me become the worst version of myself. I then lost my mother December 2020. I have never felt this low in my life. Watching you on this journey is helping me. I started to work out.. slowly. But it’s better than sitting on my but all day. I look forward to seeing the rest of the episodes.
This dude has a team of people having MEETINGS about his weight loss and mental health this is completely nuts. Good for him, I wish we could all have that it's amazing
He built and put himself out there. He made those connections. The only difference between you and him, him and us - is that we don't have to blame someone at where they are now and how they can get those resources.
It’s really interesting to see how much his fathers demands affected how he gets his self worth from other people now. He’s being very honest and vulnerable about where he is in life and that’s wonderful, I mean after all he’s a human flesh and blood and there is nothing wrong with that. I hope he gets to the point in his life that he feels valuable with or without other peoples approval of him, I think that would be an amazing next step in the Evolution of Will Smith
@@gorgeousbrandent.9224 WTF kind of bs comment is that. Will portrayed the best scene ever in Fresh Prince when his weak deadbeat dad left him he was determined to be a better man than his father could ever be. As a single mother of a weak pos dad who left my son at birth, he's not in the LGBTQ community but certainly respects it, as do I, he's grown up to be one hell of a man.
After all these years of watching Will on TV and movies now watching him in a reality-based way talking about things I've struggled with my whole life makes me admire him more .. good luck you have always seemed to find away to be inspiring
I teared up seeing you on top of that building. When you return back to God, and you're asked, "did you enjoy your life?"...moments like that will have you answer, "Not exactly. I made sure they enjoyed my life as well." Thank you Will.
Will. That wall vs. brick analogy resonates. I learned that fast when I joined the armed forces. Keep your world small. One thing at a time. Most people burn out thinking about the larger picture. Keeping the larger picture is good but focus on ONE small thing at a time and progress. It was an invaluable lesson.
When Will get to the top of the Burj I starting crying of joy to see him over there! Please Lord help me get over my mental health and be able to be strong again as I was before. Even more stronger than before. Thanks you for motivating us. I know I can do it. I will overcome what is wrong with me and I will rejoice again. I will feel better 🙏🏼🙏🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼. Thanks Mr Smith
GAGAGAGAGAGA! I will now count to 3 and then I am still the unprettiest RUclipsr of all time. 1...2...3. GAGAGAGAGAGA!!! Thank you for your attention, dear mario
I myself, now at 55, can truly relate to everything that we see Will going through in this journey. It's such a psychological Battle to find your Zone when we're older and trying to physically Snap back into shape. Lower Testosterone makes it So much harder to get the right headspace and power through. Keep Diggin! It comes.
My father put in 20 yrs with the Air Force. He wanted a son but his only child..was born on his bday. I understand the toughness of a military dad. Keep It Pushing Will..🤠💜💯
Except, he's no longer working with proverbial "bricks" - he's working with gold bars. Real motivation for me is to see people overcome obstacles with bare essentials on their own, digging real deep within. Not with a a whole paid team of doctors, nutritionists, chefs, personal trainers, and taking trips around the world for workouts and inspiration. This is an exercise in narcissism.
@@issy0613 Yes, and he had much more humble beginnings. My point was that he’s not reflecting those values in this video, making it unrelatable. How can you inspire the average person when you’re using resources unattainable by the average person? it’s ironic since he’s referencing those humble beginnings at the core of this video. I’d rather see him climb one of the Colorado mountains instead of fly to Dubai and climb a building to pad his own ego. At least he’d not be harming the planet in our current climate crisis. He may be an agent of change, but acting in bad faith.
@@charliep9066 You make a valid point. It's uncommon for the average guy in his fifties to do what Mr. Smith is doing. If I'm dissatisfied with my persistent weight gain despite hard efforts to tamp it down (and I am), I can't jump on an aeroplane and fly to Dubai -- with a team of people to boot -- for inspiration. It makes me wonder if my own attempts to lay that brick right IS futile, given my limited resources. Still, It's 11:46 PM, 14 minutes to midnight, and I feel like going to a nearby park to jump rope and do my pushups...
I love that you put this entire journey of your weight loss in here. Not everybody has enough $$ to have trainers, doctors to guide them through the weight loss process. Your journey to weight loss with rich nourishment would help us and guide to achieve our goals.
Glad to see you being yourself. I'm 47 and climbed the highest mountain of Austria this year. I wasn't sure if it's possible for me, but it was. Never to late to look into new realms of improvement, awareness and fulfillment. Greetings from Germany :)
Must say, I commend you for taking this journey publicly. I got a little emotional when you admitted that you didn't tell the truth when you first weighed in. Will, you are human, mortal, and imperfect, but you are also blessed, fortunate, and highly favored. Our imperfections are was make us perfect! I wish you success and healing in this journey.
I see and talk to a lot of folks that get discouraged when watching a celebrity take on this type of challenge because of the resources and team the money can buy them. HOWEVER, look at how many people you see every day, either at your small neighborhood gym, in the grocery store, or maybe they are a friend of yours, that maintain a healthy lifestyle and look incredible. I bet they don't have these resources. So perhaps you can be even more satisfied with your accomplishments knowing you don't need all that extra stuff. Everyone has their own journey and are motivated differently. This series is just a highlight of sometime who has entertained us for years, and I'm happy to see him maximizing the opportunities around it.
He is always going to be a legend. For his honesty. For his perception of the world. For how he helps others every day wether it be through laughter OR his story and truth. Vulnerability is what makes you whole. To be human you need every emotion. That’s what makes us unique. That’s what makes us survive. 🥰
I understand how it is loosing 30 lbs myself this year there was times I just was pissed at myself that I let myself go. But I had to remember I gave birth to a beautiful child 4 years ago and stress played a huge factor in my weight gain. But, I am truly glad I did something about it and I still have a ways to go. I am totally proud that he is showing is journey and being completely vulnerable.
You're not sharing your story but also the key to success, and that is the power of willing (like your name) and consistency. Excited to see you in the end of the challenge and and I'm one of the people that believe in you and I'm sure you can and you will do it. Proud of you will Smith
I’m going to try to do this as he goes. Depression has set in on me and I’ve gained a huge amount of weight. Will can do anything I have no doubts he will do this. ❤️
Seeing will Smith saying he quit, just made me see,he is just human like everyone one us,the will Smith we used to see, perfect gentleman,loving father,all around perfect life,the super hero we all look up to.and watching this just gave me a whole nother perspective about life. documentary just show's..these celebrities are human just as everyone of us. Keep going will,we got u brother
As a Trini I feel a weird sense of pride when I correctly recognize a Trinidadian accent before its explicitly confirmed on the show I'm watching. Big up Scoty!
I look forward to this book gracing my bookshelf and inspiring me to continue on my own journey to full body fitness: body, mind and soul. You are a beautiful man, Will Smith. You are even more irridescent when the humor escapes you and the real you peeks through. SUCH an inspiration, thank you.
Wow 160 floors that's next level determination. I have a feeling this show is going to motivate a lot of people. I love the Smiths they are a unique and cool bunch.
The way you look at goals, and focus on numbers on the scale, but pretend they don't matter to ourselves, but they really do, makes me feel normal. Sometimes I have such big plans for myself but get drowned in the thoughts of what I need to do. I'll remember moving forward, to focus on one more brick. Thanks Will, and kudos to you for challenging yourself. Love watching this already.
Wow, Will is a real human with real feelings and struggles just like us. Those comments were harsh. How many of them are living their perfect lives with no issues? I really hope he reads his memoir for audio book. I’d listen to his voice over and over. Thanks for filming this process Will. Your families gift of transparency and sharing your lives is beyond what we deserve. 💕
It was so real when you worked so hard the first week, and gained a pound. I just went through that myself! It is the most discouraging thing in the world! I’m grateful my trainer forced me to send her progress pics - the scale didn’t capture all of the things changing in my body. So I kept going, trusting that the weight would come off if I kept doing the right thing, and it eventually did. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, you are such an inspiration! 💪🏽
Perspective is such an important part of all this. His body on week 1 is so many people’s goal. Everyone has their own personal best, I get that, push your limits and achieve your goals, yes! Also, it’s important to remember how far we’ve come as we prepare to push boundaries forward. Give yourself the rewards you’ve earned.
I love this so much, it tells the story of someone I have always loved and respected for their hard work, you could tell he put in. Without ever thinking of the sacrifices he made as person. Not speaking of just the time or giving up the privacy everybody deserves, but the defenses Will had developed, just to cope with it all. What a journey and what a beautifully done story!
I’m enjoying and appreciating this series so far and what I’m about to type isn’t at all meant as a jab at Will in any way. I really admire the vulnerability and honesty and I respect just how much this journey means to him and how deep is he is honestly wanting to go. I just want to also take a minute to observe how frigging difficult it can be to get your body and mind in shape and I’m not sure we as a society acknowledge this enough when we talk about the obesity problem in our part of the world or the mental health problems and on down the line of health issues we face. This man is very wealthy, he has an entire TEAM of specialists helping him at every stage. And it’s STILL BLOODY HARD TO ACCOMPLISH. Just sayin’ …. I dunno how we expect we’re gonna turn the health of our communities around with so few resources at hand. But regardless, I’m hoping this inspires a lot of people to keep at it even though it is an incredibly challenging mountain to climb.
What a profound analysis, I know my biggest takeaway from this was that it’s a mental game too, it’s a minute by minute battle and the only way to win it is to become obsessed. I can’t see any other way, due to the temptation to not do the work you’re constantly putting yourself in the accountability zone 24/7. That is exhausting. The old Will was mentally driven that was his MO, the need to impress and win. Now he’s older more accepting of himself and his flaws the motivation is removed and then lies the question, who is it all for? …….I look forward to hearing his answer when he discovers the answers. Great great work, and I look forward to reading the book.
I agree with both of you. Completely inspiring. My chant, when I push forward, is *Nothing to it but to do it*. Sometimes it gets shortened to something like Nike, Just Do. I have to yell at myself inside and that helps as long as I am willing to listen.
I identify with his goal obsession so much. Mine didn't come from my parents tho. They were terrible at that stuff. My driver was the opposite. Being an achiever started to make me feel powerful. In control. I get how unhealthy it was now that I've crashed and burned from the stress of it but I totally get this.
Same. I’ve never heard achievement based people talked about in this way. This is me too. Funny and goal driven but a huge emotional eater to deal with the stress.
Big Will, thank you for being a constant reminder of how strong men can be. Not just physically but also mentally. Thank for being a beacon. Keep grinding OG, it's gets greater later.
im on the completely opposite end of the spectrum in terms of weight (very unhealthy skinny), for what little it's worth, watching my hero be this human is refreshing and motivating for my own life. You got this OG, we're all rooting for you.
That story about The Wall has always stuck with me since I watched the clip from The Charlie Rose Show “Don’t worry about building no wall just lay one perfect brick today”
I am proud of you Will... I am 43 disabled and as of 10 days ago I was 222 pounds. I have been eating low carb and since I do get to move much. I am down 8.5 pounds and feeling better already. goal is to be below 200 by May 14th
Very impressed that , Wills father installed discipline in him while he was young...that's how he was being able to walk those 160 stairs in "Dubai" #Discipline
"Stop thinking about the damn wall, your job is to lay this brick perfectly, then move onto the next brick. Don't be worrying about no wall, your only concern is one brick." Wow, I love that!
it's kind of stupid out of context. Even if you lay your brick perfectly but the wall is going tin the wrong direction, it's no good is it? You need both - the detail and the vision
✨
@@lechprotean the vision is apart of the brick laying… he just wants to focus on one part of the vision at a time
Love this! 👏👏
@@lechprotean ?? You already know you’re gonna build the wall, like you know what your end goal is. You backtrack the plan (blueprint/steps), then proceed to lay each brick (complete the task) perfectly.
You want to be shredded while obese: you gonna look at Cristiano Ronaldo all day or complete your workout?
If you can’t extrapolate, just say that.
That's my new workout inspiration affirmation, "Don't worry about buildin no wall. Just worry about laying the next brick". Thank you Will!
Spoken like a true stone mason. I think I heard Will say that his dad was a brick mason one time. But the line can be heard every day on the line. It is what a mason lives by. I worked on a crew for two years. Only black man on a crew of Hispanics and it was the best job of my life. The views from a top of unfinished structures and to drive by them all the time and know you had a hand in putting that together. This by far was my favorite episode.
that saying is old af tho...that's the motiviational quote of shitloads of body building documentaries
Same!
Yeah, workout to slap someone because they made a mild, no malice joke
I appreciate his tenacity. He is living proof that money alone cannot fill the void in our souls. Well done Will!
These bots are horrible lol
The amount of power you hold over another human as a parent is unimaginable.
LOL I just got a call
LOL
It’s pretty fucked up.
The amount of power he used for that slap in unimaginable
Will has motivated me to become the best version of myself physically, spiritually, mentally and financially. Now that I’ve typed it, I hold myself accountable! Starting now!
you got this wealthy human!
💪🏻💪🏻
no you wont
I hope your story isn't copyrighted 😍😍😍
Go on, make yourself proud, "one brick at a time you'll build your wall" Namaste
You know what occurs to me? Even with ALL this help, it’s STILL HARD and one still has to DO THE WORK…alone. (This is motivating me)
It takes a village! Our tribe is so important.
Very true. Praying that my boyfriend, family, and myself ofc push me enough to lose the weight that I know I need to lose. To be happy again with myself and love me more
Agree!!
@@shudanielle6177 If you want to be happy and love yourself why do you need motivation? Motivate yourself your mind is powerful. If you want family help fine..if they willing to help. But, if ppl are not look towards yourself
Entertaining as it is, I think the series is sending the wrong message. Too many ppl never get themselves to start, thinking is hard. It is not, the workout is the highlight of my day and i know im a lazy person. You dont need an army of nutritionists and trainers following you around all day, unless you have specific targets in specific timeframes, like when you are an actor.
Ppl should know ALL you need is 30-40 mins/day and about 2-3 years, and everyone has 30 mins. You dont even need to go to a gym or buy expensive equipment, just free information you can find online.
Mad love to the camera crew and sound techs that also climbed 160 stories. Y’all the real mvp’s. All jokes aside- loving this content
Right! They must have been sweating all the bricks Will was talking about carrying all that damn equipment!
Gabby CR Maybe they swapped crew every few floors. Some guys took over at floor 50 or something.
They probably took elevators in between. It would've been torture to put them through that while carrying equipment
@@johnfran3218 ive seen this in my dreams.. the 2 suns, the comets, the false prophet from the east.. where did you find this?
"ON EARTH".... I felt that sound reach deep in my soul
Will.. never take these down. I must say they are very therapeutic. Every video brought a sense of nourishment, comfort, and accepting the things you can't change. Its when I'm alone with my thoughts that I really turn to these videos. Your life story helps me to grapple with mine. Thank you so much!!
And if you don’t like what they say ? Slap em right ??
I'm glad Will is speaking on all the mental & internal struggles that can be road blocks during weight loss.
It’s key.
I love how much love will shows jazzy Jeff! I love their friendship! Will is such a good guy!!!
Best friendship

Thank you Will. Your story is in so many of us. When you strip yourself of all that ego, your authentic self comes out. The real you. I think your so brave and show the amplified you and the human you.God bless you ❤🙏💙
He is the best 😘
Having that ego is part of Will Smith...🤔
Sooo true
The only thing Will needs to do now is to divorce Jada! she's too toxic for this man...
@@insanemalik2214 no shes not toxic
This is what it sometimes looks like when parents push their children for perfection. It is a carrot that the horse will never catch. I'm glad he has the support system he needs to challenge and change what he feels needs to be changed. Very proud of him!
Ñ
Umm 🤔 he’s famous, rich, idealized, and honestly more fit than many men his age. He has self-discipline and ambition. Doesn’t seem like a bad upbringing.
Give this man a round of applause! He's showing off his true authentic self at the age of 53, trying to inspire to love yourself overall while being able to create a attainable healthy lifestyle.
Now I understand why you referenced "Brick by Brick" in your lyrics on your feature with Joyner Lucas's self-titled homage to you.
Dad was a super solid man; I'm challenging myself more now because of his advice, and you.
Thank you, Will.
As someone currently studying to become a personal trainer I am heartbroken by all the mean-hearted comments and cruel criticism from self professed fitness "professionals."

For sharing your story, for sharing your journey, for sharing the truth of being the caretaker of a human body. I am enormously proud of you for having the courage to be real with not only the world, but also with yourself. Sometimes that is the hardest part.
Your story has given me more motivation than can be measured to keep working hard so I can get out there and encourage those in their own personal wall building. Your fathers wall and the lesson it teaches is now etched deep in my heart. I will lay each of my bricks to perfection.
Keep showing up for yourself, Will. Brick by brick.
I got an adrenaline rush just watching him climb to the top of the spiral. Motivation. This guy's been my hero since around age 6. Always feel I can do anything when I watch him. Got me through a lot of hard times growing up. I appreciate you man
I like the brick story. There’s a lot to take from that, just lay this one brick today
I was thinking of brick story when he climbed tallest bldg. Incredible. I would never…(slow clap with love and respect)
It is a good story, although you should consider that he made it up.
@@ed5952 Doesn't matter to be honest...if it inspires people in the end... Sometimes truth is overrated.
@@vivek27789 why would you listen to a guy that's selling a lie about his dad as something truthful? anyways, Will is a 53 years old guy who knows how he's portraying himself and making sure people buy his book.. he's making of the whole thing a product.
Will is such an authentic all-around wonderful man. I find him courageous, strong, smart, talented, and kind.
The issues I had with myself in my weight loss journey, was that doing cardio and lifting would mess with my mental because of the scale. I had to just stop lifting and do more cardio. 278lbs to 170lbs Drop the weight first then build my muscles. 170lbs to 184lbs currently. I love this series! Thanks for sharing all the hard work
Woah thats crazy man. Had a similar experience i got from 250 to 170 through cardio and strict diet within like half a year when i was 16-17 and was disgusted with the end result, just wobbly mass with no definition whatsoever. Since then hit the weights for 6 years and i‘m 185 for like 2 years now no matter if i diet or get bulky. Its dumb but still get slightly better by the day with weights etc.
Anyways big ups man sky is the limit, it really changes you troughout when you accomplish things like that. A confidence and energy is left behind that noone can ever take away from you. From being aftaid to go out in a shirt to being pissed when you can‘t wear one because it‘s too cold. Enjoy the roots of your hard work bro.
Congrats on the weight loss and body transformation, friend.
@@DjTIMEJD ❤️ 🤜🤛
I would make a heartfelt recommendation to do resistance training, even if you feel you want to lose weight at any cost it is not worth it to do so in an unsafe way. When our bodies are in calorie restriction, it will break down muscle, unless we give it the stimulus to keep it (and the protein to maintain it). Focus on health and fitness and feeling good, because that number on the scales includes water, muscle, and bone -- and you want those things! Take care, hope this helps.
@@robinplatt219 This helps me, thank you!
I've grown a new level of respect for this guy, growing up I thought his perfection was easy and joy came every morning. This series humanized him for me, he is an amazing human being.
You’re human, and transparency takes great courage. As far as I’m concerned, you have been and always will be THE epic icon of our generation, Gen X. Thank you, Will!! 👏👏

I literally felt the height of that building when he was dangling his feet off the side of it. 😬 Will has always been such an inspiration to me. A true living legend.
I second that. A living ancestor👏
Very uncomfortable viewing that bit! I'm not afraid of heights but that made my legs feel funny 😂
Proud of you, Will!!
🥰🥰
Ok so many thoughts. Um first, yes Will always goes for the best of the best. So no surprise seeing you here Dr. Ramini. Love your work!!
2. So how real are we gonna keep it here in the comments?
3. 90% of the time i will be judging. But! Im trying real hard to like and believe this is authentic, genuine, real. So far this seems like a parody within a very well acted reality.
4. Since I am investing time in actually watching this I suppose I will have some reactions in support of Will's hard work. Yes, its undeniable that the man works hard. But i cant help but say to myself "really man? You are actually complaining about your workouts and food you are paying professionals bringing to you? At the very best locations in the world? With all the equipment, space and people catered to you?" So thats why in my kind i say Nah! This cant be "real".
5. Yes know Will is a real person with actual feelings and struggles and all that stuff. But I thought he was more in tuned and sensitive to the wants and struggles of people out there that have .01% of what he has. Money/privilege wise.
So for those reasons, Im sorry but I dont buy it... so far.
so much respect for you Doctor Ramani
ruclips.net/video/gpcNYN350yc/видео.html🤣
Thank you for helping the man out in a journey which could have been difficult without great people like you.
Blesses to you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm grateful to see the realness of this. It made me uncomfortable to see how he parents himself with his father's voice, because it sounds so critical and harsh. It's a mindset where you can't enjoy anything unless you hit the goal. All that matters is the destination, and not the journey. But it reminds me to be softer and gentler with myself in my own healing journey, so I'm grateful for this transparency.
This man is so hard on himself! Really makes me realize how we all can be sometimes without even realizing. So heart-warming to see him dangling off the top of the world's tallest building like it was the edge of a swimming pool on a regular afternoon 😅👏
😂
It's scary like hell...🥺
Slaps hard too
He’s as hard on himself like he hit Chris Rock
Dr. Ramani through this whole thing is such a gift. The courage and vulnerability this requires is unimaginable. The production is second to none. Just stunning. And the way you honor your family and DJ jazzy Jeff is an example to all of us!
I have been losing 1.25 lbs a week for the last 7 1/2 months. It is heartbreaking when the scale doesn't move - it's always hard. Will was not obese when he started and it was definitely a huge challenge for him to lose 22 lbs. I want to give props to all the regular folks out there fighting this battle all on their own without being able to escape and have trainers and nutritionists. This was fun to watch - just know it's always hard and that he had so much help....I'm inspired to continue my journey on my own.
Good luck Cindy!

How did you do it?
Good luck 🤗
Wishing you the best you seem very determined.
This has inspired me to get in the best shape of my life..I’m 34 and was in phenomenal shape in my teens and early 20s..now my body is similar to Wills..I battled through addiction and am 7 years clean..I’m about to start this battle
The climb at the end was terrifying lol, but this series is just so moving and inspiring. Thank you, Will, for taking us on the journey
You truly gave DJ Jazzy Jeff the biggest bouquet of flowers by the level of the attention and the amount of adoration your choice of words showed. And if I recall correctly from others videos of hearing you speak of him, you had a strained relationship with your father.. in part due to the qualities that you picked up from him. All that to say, it is beautiful how important you made him and his lessons as 3rd party narration for this and your life. You have never stopped hearing his voice and you have never forgotten what DJ Jazzy Jeff made you feel to the point you made HIM the leading act. Each episode is inspiring. And to see you at the very top of that building, though another turn in your non defeatist cycle, to see you up there was worth the tribulation. Atop of the highest building ON EARTH. Wow Mann.
No one's taking about the camera guy climbing the stairs ahead of Will. Lol
Because it doesn’t matter 🤷♀️ he needed someone to record him while he was climbing UP it. Because It’s too dangerous to climb with one hand on the ladder & the other hand holding a camera 📸 lol
@@prettyllady I think he was only referring to climbing the steps - not the ladder. I'm thinking they took turns carrying that camera.
Lmao chill
Exactly
Including you
Just imagine being able to travel to one of the most expensive places on earth and taking your entire team with you, Unplanned. Will may not have the body he had when he was younger but I'm sure he has the life that he dreamt of at that age. Kudos. Shalom!
The hard bit is laying the brick ‘every day’ and deciding if you do or don’t, is the rest or the wall worth it, and processing the decision to give it up without self shaming. In that space you learn more of who you are and compassion for self and others. Other bricks and walls come along or have existed in the past and those successes are not diminished by other choices not to complete a task.
The story behind the bricks is one of a father teaching his son to keep going and thrive especially when the history of the ancestors is one of struggle and survival.
I didn’t love you for your appearance in the first place it was more for the way you carried yourself and the role model that you are and have always been for me growing up. ❤️ keep going Will

I love that!! Mantra, of the week.
Lol, he calls him A-A Ron. Key and Peele are legendary.
The first man ever in my hometown that is the realest inside and out. To strip yourself to the raw and show it is amazing to me. I gained weight on top of just having another baby December 2019 . COVID did nothing but help me become the worst version of myself. I then lost my mother December 2020. I have never felt this low in my life. Watching you on this journey is helping me. I started to work out.. slowly. But it’s better than sitting on my but all day. I look forward to seeing the rest of the episodes.
keep pushing and never give up!
Me too. It’s tough. Dig deep. We don’t have all of his resources but discipline & determination don’t cost anything.
Sorry for your loss
Sending love and encouragement!
So sorry for your loss. Wishing you comfort and strength when you need it.🙏
This dude has a team of people having MEETINGS about his weight loss and mental health this is completely nuts. Good for him, I wish we could all have that it's amazing
He is "The Will Smith" bro. I have heard that name my entire childhood and adolescence. He deserves it
He built and put himself out there. He made those connections. The only difference between you and him, him and us - is that we don't have to blame someone at where they are now and how they can get those resources.
The only difference between the 2 of you is that he is doing it and you don't
You can create your own support group. Friends, family. Or even just posting about your goal and your journey online.
It's reality TV. You can be sure he wouldn't do anything to that extent without the cameras around. A few people sure, but not a whole table.
It’s really interesting to see how much his fathers demands affected how he gets his self worth from other people now. He’s being very honest and vulnerable about where he is in life and that’s wonderful, I mean after all he’s a human flesh and blood and there is nothing wrong with that. I hope he gets to the point in his life that he feels valuable with or without other peoples approval of him, I think that would be an amazing next step in the Evolution of Will Smith
who would’ve ever thought strong fathers with structure and rules breed efficient children.. weak fathers and single mothers make Alphabet kids.
@@gorgeousbrandent.9224 You realize that his father used to beat his mother right? I wouldn’t call that structure or strength. I’d call it abuse.
@@gorgeousbrandent.9224 WTF kind of bs comment is that.
Will portrayed the best scene ever in Fresh Prince when his weak deadbeat dad left him he was determined to be a better man than his father could ever be. As a single mother of a weak pos dad who left my son at birth, he's not in the LGBTQ community but certainly respects it, as do I, he's grown up to be one hell of a man.
Seeing how he acted the following year, i'd say he still hasn't fully evolved yet
After all these years of watching Will on TV and movies now watching him in a reality-based way talking about things I've struggled with my whole life makes me admire him more .. good luck you have always seemed to find away to be inspiring
I teared up seeing you on top of that building. When you return back to God, and you're asked, "did you enjoy your life?"...moments like that will have you answer, "Not exactly. I made sure they enjoyed my life as well." Thank you Will.
You are a great human being Will. You have a fantastic personality and a big kind heart. I respect you and love you.

i was thinking the same thing, I bet they're in great shape also
Will. That wall vs. brick analogy resonates. I learned that fast when I joined the armed forces. Keep your world small. One thing at a time. Most people burn out thinking about the larger picture. Keeping the larger picture is good but focus on ONE small thing at a time and progress. It was an invaluable lesson.
When Will get to the top of the Burj I starting crying of joy to see him over there! Please Lord help me get over my mental health and be able to be strong again as I was before. Even more stronger than before. Thanks you for motivating us. I know I can do it. I will overcome what is wrong with me and I will rejoice again. I will feel better 🙏🏼🙏🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼. Thanks Mr Smith

I love the brick laying sentiment. I'm going to remember that one
Nice glasses they make you adroble erin
That "Perfect Brick" mentality is really motivating for people like me who can over analyze the gravity of tasks.
Except, he's no longer working with proverbial "bricks" - he's working with gold bars. Real motivation for me is to see people overcome obstacles with bare essentials on their own, digging real deep within. Not with a a whole paid team of doctors, nutritionists, chefs, personal trainers, and taking trips around the world for workouts and inspiration. This is an exercise in narcissism.
@@charliep9066 You do know he wasn't born with all this money, right?
@@issy0613 Yes, and he had much more humble beginnings. My point was that he’s not reflecting those values in this video, making it unrelatable. How can you inspire the average person when you’re using resources unattainable by the average person? it’s ironic since he’s referencing those humble beginnings at the core of this video. I’d rather see him climb one of the Colorado mountains instead of fly to Dubai and climb a building to pad his own ego. At least he’d not be harming the planet in our current climate crisis. He may be an agent of change, but acting in bad faith.
@@charliep9066 ok
@@charliep9066 You make a valid point. It's uncommon for the average guy in his fifties to do what Mr. Smith is doing. If I'm dissatisfied with my persistent weight gain despite hard efforts to tamp it down (and I am), I can't jump on an aeroplane and fly to Dubai -- with a team of people to boot -- for inspiration. It makes me wonder if my own attempts to lay that brick right IS futile, given my limited resources. Still, It's 11:46 PM, 14 minutes to midnight, and I feel like going to a nearby park to jump rope and do my pushups...
I love that you put this entire journey of your weight loss in here. Not everybody has enough $$ to have trainers, doctors to guide them through the weight loss process. Your journey to weight loss with rich nourishment would help us and guide to achieve our goals.

Same, any type tbh
I see and talk to a lot of folks that get discouraged when watching a celebrity take on this type of challenge because of the resources and team the money can buy them.
HOWEVER, look at how many people you see every day, either at your small neighborhood gym, in the grocery store, or maybe they are a friend of yours, that maintain a healthy lifestyle and look incredible. I bet they don't have these resources. So perhaps you can be even more satisfied with your accomplishments knowing you don't need all that extra stuff.
Everyone has their own journey and are motivated differently. This series is just a highlight of sometime who has entertained us for years, and I'm happy to see him maximizing the opportunities around it.
He is always going to be a legend. For his honesty. For his perception of the world. For how he helps others every day wether it be through laughter OR his story and truth. Vulnerability is what makes you whole. To be human you need every emotion. That’s what makes us unique. That’s what makes us survive. 🥰
I understand how it is loosing 30 lbs myself this year there was times I just was pissed at myself that I let myself go. But I had to remember I gave birth to a beautiful child 4 years ago and stress played a huge factor in my weight gain. But, I am truly glad I did something about it and I still have a ways to go. I am totally proud that he is showing is journey and being completely vulnerable.
You're not sharing your story but also the key to success, and that is the power of willing (like your name) and consistency.
Excited to see you in the end of the challenge and and I'm one of the people that believe in you and I'm sure you can and you will do it.
Proud of you will Smith

Wow 160 floors that's next level determination. I have a feeling this show is going to motivate a lot of people. I love the Smiths they are a unique and cool bunch.
I'm literally crying here, man. You're such an inspiration.
The way you look at goals, and focus on numbers on the scale, but pretend they don't matter to ourselves, but they really do, makes me feel normal. Sometimes I have such big plans for myself but get drowned in the thoughts of what I need to do. I'll remember moving forward, to focus on one more brick. Thanks Will, and kudos to you for challenging yourself. Love watching this already.
@@elvieras one brick at a time, we can do it 😊
Wow, Will is a real human with real feelings and struggles just like us. Those comments were harsh. How many of them are living their perfect lives with no issues? I really hope he reads his memoir for audio book. I’d listen to his voice over and over. Thanks for filming this process Will. Your families gift of transparency and sharing your lives is beyond what we deserve. 💕
It was so real when you worked so hard the first week, and gained a pound. I just went through that myself! It is the most discouraging thing in the world! I’m grateful my trainer forced me to send her progress pics - the scale didn’t capture all of the things changing in my body. So I kept going, trusting that the weight would come off if I kept doing the right thing, and it eventually did. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, you are such an inspiration! 💪🏽
Perspective is such an important part of all this. His body on week 1 is so many people’s goal. Everyone has their own personal best, I get that, push your limits and achieve your goals, yes! Also, it’s important to remember how far we’ve come as we prepare to push boundaries forward. Give yourself the rewards you’ve earned.
Imagine all the people that are doing this alone!! Praise to them, you are real Champions!
I love this so much, it tells the story of someone I have always loved and respected for their hard work, you could tell he put in. Without ever thinking of the sacrifices he made as person. Not speaking of just the time or giving up the privacy everybody deserves, but the defenses Will had developed, just to cope with it all. What a journey and what a beautifully done story!
I’m enjoying and appreciating this series so far and what I’m about to type isn’t at all meant as a jab at Will in any way. I really admire the vulnerability and honesty and I respect just how much this journey means to him and how deep is he is honestly wanting to go. I just want to also take a minute to observe how frigging difficult it can be to get your body and mind in shape and I’m not sure we as a society acknowledge this enough when we talk about the obesity problem in our part of the world or the mental health problems and on down the line of health issues we face. This man is very wealthy, he has an entire TEAM of specialists helping him at every stage. And it’s STILL BLOODY HARD TO ACCOMPLISH. Just sayin’ …. I dunno how we expect we’re gonna turn the health of our communities around with so few resources at hand. But regardless, I’m hoping this inspires a lot of people to keep at it even though it is an incredibly challenging mountain to climb.
What a profound analysis, I know my biggest takeaway from this was that it’s a mental game too, it’s a minute by minute battle and the only way to win it is to become obsessed. I can’t see any other way, due to the temptation to not do the work you’re constantly putting yourself in the accountability zone 24/7. That is exhausting. The old Will was mentally driven that was his MO, the need to impress and win. Now he’s older more accepting of himself and his flaws the motivation is removed and then lies the question, who is it all for? …….I look forward to hearing his answer when he discovers the answers. Great great work, and I look forward to reading the book.
I agree with both of you. Completely inspiring. My chant, when I push forward, is *Nothing to it but to do it*. Sometimes it gets shortened to something like Nike, Just Do. I have to yell at myself inside and that helps as long as I am willing to listen.
"Stop worrying about the damned wall, Your job is to lay this brick perfectly" .... THAT is what i need right now
I identify with his goal obsession so much. Mine didn't come from my parents tho. They were terrible at that stuff. My driver was the opposite. Being an achiever started to make me feel powerful. In control. I get how unhealthy it was now that I've crashed and burned from the stress of it but I totally get this.
