AceShowbiz - Sometimes the past meets the present in the most delightful ways. On March 14, Will Smith treated fans to a nostalgic trip down memory lane by sharing a TikTok video where he, along with former "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" co-star Tatyana Ali, and the talented rapper Doechii, recreated a beloved dance scene from the show's pilot episode.
The original scene aired in 1990 and featured Ali's character, Ashley Banks, dancing in her bedroom while listening to music through headphones. Smith's character, Will, sneakily mimics her moves, creating a memorable moment cherished by fans.
The dance scene has recently resurfaced as the "Anxiety" dance trend on TikTok, with the new version set to Doechii's hit song "Anxiety," which samples Gotye's hit single "Somebody That I Used to Know."
Smith posted the fun clip to his social media accounts, captioning it, "Waited 35 years for this dance to trend." Doechii jumped into the viral moment with Ali and Smith, adding to everyone's entertainment.
Fans and fellow celebrities quickly celebrated the nostalgic recreation. Actress Meagan Good expressed her love for the video, and DJ Jazzy Jeff, Smith's longtime collaborator, called it "Amazing!"
"I've been watching y'all and every video has been better than the last!! Love that track @Doechii," Smith wrote on March 5, resharing the original scene from "Fresh Prince" after noticing the viral trend.
Beyond the dance trend, Smith is gearing up for a busy month. On March 28, he will release his first full-length album in over 20 years, "Based on a True Story." This much-anticipated project will feature collaborations with artists such as his own son Jaden Smith, Big Sean, Joyner Lucas, Teyana Taylor, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and more.
The reunion between Smith and Ali, brought to life by TikTok and the viral "Anxiety" dance challenge, not only celebrates the lasting impact of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" but also bridges generations through the power of music and social media.
