(CNN) — Will Smith is reflecting on his failures and struggles as a father of three.
Appearing on the Father’s Day edition of his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s Facebook Watch series “Red Table Talk,” the Hollywood actor spoke candidly about “the real weight of parenting.”
According to the “Bad Boys” star, who has Jaden, 21, and Willow, 19, with Pinkett Smith as well as Trey, 27, from his first marriage to Sheree Fletcher, his “fatherhood instincts” kicked in when he was just a child.
During the intimate one-on-one conversation, Smith opened up about a challenging chapter in his relationship with his daughter Willow, which proved to be a transformative experience.
Smith also got emotional when reflecting on becoming a father for the first time, at the age of 24.
