Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s Final Video
In the days following his passing, fans and celebrities have flooded social media with heartfelt tributes. One of his final posts on X (formerly Twitter) resurfaced, making the loss feel even more painful. In the short video, Warner reflected on how unpredictable life can be and reminded people to find joy in everyday moments.
He spoke about how life is always full of ups and downs, but encouraged people to pause and find reasons to smile. And if they couldn’t find one, he said they should be the reason someone else smiles instead.
“Life is out here life-ing for me and for everybody else. But I just wanted to remind you, as I remind myself, that no matter what’s going on, there’s always a reason to smile. If you just take a minute to stop and take stock, I guarantee you could find at least one reason to smile. If for some reason you can’t find a reason to smile, that’s probably the best time to be the reason for somebody else to smile. So either smile for yourself or be the reason for somebody else’s smile,” he said.
