It might be hard to believe, but that same ‘Fresh Prince’ from years past is 52 nowadays. Yup, even Will Smith is getting up there.
Most fans don’t realize, but Will’s road to success was an unlikely one, especially when it came to TV. He started off in the music industry alongside Jazzy Jeff, the two found success on the first album but after that, it was downhill. They got a taste of fame, only to lose everything, including Will getting in trouble with his taxes.
It all changed one night during a party, when out of nowhere, Will was basically asked to audition in front of random people for ‘Fresh Prince’. All of this despite the fact that he had no acting experience whatsoever. The unofficial audition went really well and soon enough, he was on the set of his new sitcom.
It was a gig to pay the bills but shortly after, it would take his popularity to the next level. Soon enough, he was acting in films and releasing albums, Will was truly doing it all, always striving for more.
He’s more than an accomplished star, with over 50 million IG followers. However, given a recent post, fans are starting to get on his case for his appearance, comparing him to a certain ‘Fresh Prince’ star.
Uncle Phil Vibes
That’s right, according to fans, Will was giving off Uncle Phil vibes in his recent IG video. The hilarious clip shows Smith on a private jet and almost putting a piece of gum in a sleeping passengers’ mouth. Thankfully, he decided against it.
Fans seemed to be more concerned with Will’s current look than the actual prank itself.
“The white beard hit different…”
“Bro really getting old.”
“Will Smith lookin' more like uncle Phil every day 😂.”
“Who else is shocked will smith has grey hair coming through? 😫 how old am I!”
“I love the nod to 'Uncle Phil' in your look. Classy.”
Let’s give Will the benefit of the doubt, maybe he wasn’t as clean-cut looking as he should’ve been. Nonetheless, we appreciate the hilarious post and James Avery references!
