Now this is a reunion! The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air cast got together on Monday and we all spontaneously started singing the theme song, “Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down…”
Will Smith was, however, quick to deny the rumors about the show’s reboot:
“I don’t think ever, like pretty close to when hell freezes over. Like we’re going to leave that one alone.”
The photo is missing James Avery, Uncle Phil from the show, who passed away in 2014. This is the most important reason for not continuing the show, as Alfonso Ribeiro shared:
“Since the passing of my favorite dad in the world, ever on TV, James Avery passed, the chances of a Fresh Prince coming back together will not happen. I don’t think we feel as a cast that we would do even our fans justice. We all felt like he was the centerpiece or the nucleus of that show. Without him, it just doesn’t work. So even if the whole cast comes to support me on the show, we’re not looking for that to happen. And that’s OK.”
