Will Smith, in an extremely rare moment, decided to open up about his once-faltering marriage to Jada Pinkett. In a sneak peek for his wife's Facebook Watch show 'Red Table Talk', the 50-year-old can be seen tearing up as he discusses the darker times in their 21-year union, reports Daily Mail.

"There was a period where mommy woke up and cried 45 days straight, I started keeping a diary," he says to their daughter Willow in the video clip. "You missed some days," Jada interjects with a wry smile.
