Will Smith is having fun with his fans amid the release of wife Jada Pinkett Smith's memoir.

On Tuesday, the Emancipation actor posted a joke "statement" video to Instagram, appearing to lighten the mood amid the marriage revelations Jada gave in her new book, Worthy.

"OFFICIAL STATEMENT," Will, 55, wrote in all caps alongside the clip, which featured him sitting on a chair in front of a fireplace facing the camera.

"I got something for you, here's the thing. So, my opinion of the — " he teased before executing a fake sneeze into his raised arm. Suddenly, the video zoomed out, with stylized graphics displayed throughout various settings such as a waterfall, mountains, a desert and a beach.

"Lol, that’s out of this world," one fan commented, with another follower finding Will's take even more humorous: "Hahahahaaaaaaaaaa!! We love you Will!! 💥💥💥."

"Always good to zoom out and look at the big picture!" a third person wrote.

During a recent NBC interview with Hoda Kotb, Jada, 52, revealed that she and her husband of 25 years have actually been separated since 2016.

They share two children: son Jaden Smith, 25, and daughter Willow Smith, 22. Will also has son Trey Smith, 30, with ex-wife Sheree Zampino.

Opening up to Kotb, Jada gave some insight on why she waited to share the news of their nontraditional marriage.

"I think just not being ready yet, still trying to figure out between the two of us how to be in a partnership and in regards to how do we present that to people. And we hadn't figured that out,” she said.

As far as where the pair are in their relationship now, the actress, who said Will's "still my man" to Stephen Colbert on Monday, told PEOPLE, "We’re still figuring it out."

"A lot has happened. The thing about relationships is that it's constantly moving," she explained. "Relationships are, it's an organism. It's its own thing. It's constantly shifting and constantly moving."

"There's a lot that's transpired in the last two years, and so we've been doing some really heavy-duty work together," the Girls Trip star added.

Instagram joking aside, Will revealed his true thoughts on his wife's book in a letter read to Jada during her recent guest spot on On Purpose with Jay Shetty, released Monday.

"I just turned the final page of Worthy," wrote Will, as read by Shetty. "It is amazing to realize that despite having lived most of my life by your side, I still found myself shocked and stunned and caught off guard, laughing, then inspired, then heartbroken. I was all over the place."

He continued, "It's one thing to hear anecdotes at a family barbecue, but it was truly overwhelming to take in your story, potently condensed in this way."

Will, whose own memoir was published in 2021, added that Jada is "one of one, a rare blend of power and delicate sensitivity."

Worthy is now available wherever books are sold.
