Are you here for this?

Will Smith recently announced his newest major venture, and it already has social media in a frenzy.

Taking to Instagram, the A-list actor shared with his followers that he is currently working on a book and has teamed up with well known writer Mark Manson to share his life experiences.

"I'm writing a book!" he said in the IG clip. "I got years and years of stuff I finally want to say, and I'm finally going to write a book for y'all."

Manson, who has risen to fame following the release of his massively successful self-help book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F**k, was also featured in Smith's IG announcement where he shared his thoughts on the process.

"I've spent the last six months with crippling anxiety, but today, I feel great!" he said.

Smith and Manson will be meeting with different publishers throughout today and will likely choose the one which makes the best offer.

Watch them share the news, below:

  • This is not the first time Smith has added "author" to his resume. Back in 2001, he published an illustrated children's book called Just the Two of Us. Manson is also highly accomplished, himself, as he boasts the title of New York Times best-selling author.

    Twitter could barely contain its excitement following the announcement of the pair's new project. See how fans reacted, below:
