“The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” Will Smith is the king of the throwback.
The rapper-turned-actor is making a Hollywood comeback this year after 2023’s notorious slap of Chris Rock at that year’s Academy Awards and he used throwback Thursday to return to his roots with “Fresh Prince” co-star Tatyana Ali.
In an Instagram video posted by the “King Richard” star Thursday, Smith and Ali watched a TikTok clip of a surprising behavior the seasoned actor exhibited during his debut role. In the video, Smith mouthed lines back to one of his co-stars and he quipped, “this is the worst one right here” while watching the snippet.
“You used to know the entire script,” Ali said, before Smith joked that “there’s no reason that we should have been successful.” The duo played cousins Will and Ashley, respectively, on the ’90s sitcom.
“It was six episodes before somebody told me. I think Don Cheadle was the sixth episode. I think that was the one that was bad. And (the producers) were like ‘OK, we have to stop’ and they literally had to show me what I was doing,” Smith continued, adding that “it was bad,” calling it a “tragedy.”
The duo then hugged and Smith said, “Good to see you Tats, love you” referring to Ali’s nickname. The video is the latest in a series after Smith and Ali had a recent “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” family reunion.
Will Smith, Tatyana Ali performed ‘Anxiety’ TikTok trend with Doechii
The former co-stars reunited to perform the viral social media dance to Grammy award-winning rapper Doechii’s song “Anxiety” with the “Denial is a River” hitmaker herself. Smith posted the viral video on his Instagram page Thursday.
The dance trend, which has taken over TikTok recently, features Ali donning headphones as she dances alone in her room before Smith imitates her from behind. The original clip is from the show’s 1990 pilot episode.
“Waited 35 years for this dance to trend,” Smith captioned the post. Smith’s son Jaden commented, “Dad you gotta tell me what’s happening in the crib so I can fly home bro.”
