Will and Jada Pinkett Smith Open Up About Their Health Journeys

A recent episode of Red Table Talk offered viewers an honest look into Jada Pinkett Smith’s personal health journey as she underwent her first colonoscopy. Joined by her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, her son Jaden Smith, and medical experts, Jada highlighted the importance of prioritizing screenings and understanding gut health—especially as people get older.

After the procedure, Jada shared that although she felt a bit groggy from the anesthesia, the overall experience was smooth and far less intimidating than she had expected. Her openness helped demystify a routine medical screening that many people tend to avoid out of fear or uncertainty.

Will Smith’s Earlier Experience Encouraged Awareness

Jada’s discussion brought renewed attention to Will Smith’s own health journey. In 2019, Will shared a video documenting his colonoscopy after doctors found a precancerous polyp. The video gained millions of views and became a key moment in raising public awareness about preventative health care for adults—particularly for individuals over 40.

In the video, Will explained why he chose to share the experience publicly: to motivate others to take screenings seriously and to highlight the value of early detection.
