Will Smith continues to prove why the world needs him on social media. For the two-part finale of Smith’s Snapchat show Will From Home, he reunited his Fresh Prince of Bel-Air co-stars to reminisce about the good old days of their hit 1990s sit-com.
He even revealed why his character on the show was famously named after him. Smith’s play cousin Alfonso Ribeiro actually suggested that the actor use his own name. “We had talked and I said, ‘Look, if you’re ever gonna do this show, you’ve gotta be Will Smith,” Ribeiro recalled. “It was such a deep insight that you had.
You said, ‘Because people are going to call you that for the rest of your life,” Smith added in the episode that aired on Wednesday, laughing.
