Actor Will Smith is busy promoting the new version of the Prince of Bel Air (of which he is this time producer), the cult series of the 1990s which had propelled him to the rank of international star. He appeared all smiles with his family during the presentation of the show in Los Angeles.
This Wednesday, February 9 took place the premiere of remake (drama version) of the series The prince of Bel-Air soberly titled Bel Air. Will Smith appeared in front of the photographers with an elegant orange jacket worn over a turtleneck. By his side, his wife Jada Pinkett Smith wore a yellow coat over a gray jumpsuit, while his son, Jaden was in pink, yellow and blue (see slideshow). The series will tell the adventures of the young Will Smith (this time played by Jabari Banks) in the wealthy district of Bel-Air in Los Angeles where he lives with his uncle, after having left the difficult districts of Philadelphia.
The actor also did a commercial to promote the new series. We discover the actor doing a Facetime with a friend who is starting to do beatbox to the beat of the show’s signature song. Then many fans join the first two to repeat the same verse and chant “Now I’ll tell you how I became the Prince of a town called Bel-Air.” At the end of the announcement, a black screen appears on which we can read “the global phenomenon is back for a new generationfollowed by the reveal of the first broadcast date: February 13.
Active as an actor, producer, but also a father and husband, Will Smith surprised his fans last September when he confided that he had had an “open” relationship with his partner Jada Pinkett Smith for several years. He told GQ about it: “Jada never believed in these very conventional marriages. Several members of his entourage have unconventional relationships. So we grew up in a different way (…) We had endless discussions about it, he continues. But what is the perfect relationship? What is the best way to interact as a couple? (…) For us, marriage could not be a prison.”
