Will Smith’s Self-Titled Memoir Sees Spike In Sales Following Oscars Slap, Despite Actor’s TV Projects Taking Major Hit

Will Smith may be taking quite the hit as far as TV ratings go, but his book sales are off the shelf!

“Will,” the rapper turned actor’s memoir from 2021, has resurfaced at No. 73 on the USA TODAY Best-Selling Books list. The book debuted at No. 3 on the list in November of last year and stayed there for 15 weeks.

According to its official description,

“One of the most dynamic and globally recognized entertainment forces of our time opens up fully about his life, in a brave and inspiring book that traces his learning curve to a place where outer success, inner happiness, and human connection are aligned. Along the way, Will tells the story in full of one of the most amazing rides through the worlds of music and film that anyone has ever had.”

Will Smith, 53, released his self-titled memoir in November, giving fans a much deeper insight into his life and background. The book quickly made its way to the top of “The New York Times Best Seller” list shortly after its debut, with celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey calling it “the best memoir I’ve ever read.”

Hopefully, the spike in book sales will bring a smile to the face of Will Smith, as his projects have been placed on the backburner since he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars on Sunday, March 27. As previously reported, Netflix and Apple TV +, both of which were willing to spend big bucks to secure the rights, have backed out of the bidding war to turn the memoir into a film.

In addition to that, Netflix has halted the production of ‘Fast and Loose,’ and the fate of ‘Bad Boys Four,’ which also stars iconic actor Martin Lawrence, is unknown.
