Your support makes all the difference.Will Smith and Tyra Banks reenacted a seminal scene from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on Smith’s new Snapchat chat show Will From Home.
Banks had a reccurring role on Fresh Prince as Jackie, Will's ex-girlfriend from Philadelphia.
The clip, which was posted onto Smith’s Instagram, shows the actors lip-syncing to a scene where they both had an argument.
“You know what, you ain’t ever going to change!” their characters said as Banks started reciting the lines alongside them. “I’m getting the last word! Oh, no you’re not! Oh, yes I am! Scram!”
Later Smith and Banks started to reminisce about their time on the show: “This next piece is one of my favourite moments, I loved that we did this!” said Smith.
“Was that one of your first times ever acting?” he asks Banks, to which she responds: “Not one of, that was my first acting job ever.”
Will From Home will stream on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and there will be 12 episodes.
Head of Original Content at Snapchat, Sean Mills said to The Hollywood Reporter: “Will was feeling a lot of pent-up creative energy and was excited to do something with it in a new and different way.
“The kinds of things that the community wants are things that are positive, that feel empowering. It’s not just about escapism but it’s about actually what is the good that can come of a challenging moment in time. Will From Home fits perfectly with that.”
