Rapper and actor Will Smith has taken to social media to celebrate the 33rd anniversary of the debut of The Fresh Prince of Bel-AIr.
Posting a photo taken in 2020 to commemorate the anniversary, Will Smith had toured the location ahead of the reunion special along with other members of the cast.
Will Smith more or less played himself in this good-natured NBC sitcom. As the show’s popular theme song explains, fictional Will’s mom sends him away from his rough Philadelphia neighbourhood to live with wealthy Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian in Bel-Air. Will often has fun at the expense of stuck-up cousins Carlton and Hilary.

The sitcom grew to massive popularity, establishing iconic memes and moments still used in the pop culture zeitgeist today.
In 2022, a prequel reboot of the series called Bel-Air was executive produced by Smith, based on Will’s character’s journey from the streets of West Philadelphia.
