The "Pursuit of Happiness" actor asked Manson in the video, "Are you feeling confident? Are you feeling like we'll be able to do transcendent art with this book?"
Manson replied: "I spent the last six months with crippling anxiety, but today I feel great."
Smith said: "We're going to be meeting with five publishers, we're gonna pick one. And if I had to take a guess, I feel very confident that we're gonna go with the highest bidder... I'm just saying."
Manson's "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" has sold 3 million copies and was No. 1 on the Bestseller list.
Even though Smith has yet to write a book, the star has already inspired a number of motivational, independently published fan tomes by others with titles such as, "Will Smith's Rules for Success".
