<\/p>\nBel-Air, the 2020s reboot of the classic 1990s series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, came to an end earlier this week. And fittingly, it featured a touching cameo appearance from the original show’s lead star Will Smith.<\/p>\n
In the final scene of the last episode of season 4, Jabari Banks’ Will looks out at Los Angeles as his friends wait for him in the car, when the OG Will turns up as a figment of his imagination.<\/p>\n
The youngster admits his anxieties about the future, stating that he’s worried that the person he’s became since moving to Bel-Air will be lost once he goes back home. His older self tells him his fears are a sign that he understands that he’s become someone worth holding onto, and that’s a good thing.<\/p>\n
“Don’t worry about having all the answers, all right?” he said. “Nobody does.”<\/p>\n
He also tells his younger self that he’ll make plenty of mistakes, and that’s okay because it’s all a learning experience.<\/p>\n

Just not every day, ’cause cholesterol is real,” he said, adding that it’s important to “just enjoy the ride” of life.<\/p>\n “We’re gonna be all right,” he concluded.<\/p>\n Showrunner Carla Banks Waddles explained that the team wanted Smith, who served as executive producer, to cameo in the finale for a long time, but it didn’t actually come together until quite late in the day.<\/p>\n Peacock<\/p>\n Related: Heated Rivalry gets promising UK release update as season 2 is confirmed<\/a> <\/p>\n “We didn’t know if it would happen because of his schedule and everything,” she told Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n “We found out about two weeks before that he’s going to be able to get back to the States and do it.<\/p>\n “As you can imagine, he’s got an uber-busy schedule.
