Will Smith and Tatyana Ali are having a “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” family reunion.
The former co-stars, who played Will and Ashley respectively on the ’90s sitcom, reunited to perform the viral social media dance to Grammy award-winning rapper Doechii’s song “Anxiety” with the “Denial is a River” hitmaker herself. Smith posted the viral video on his Instagram page Thursday.
The dance trend, which has taken over TikTok recently, features Ali donning headphones as she dances alone in her room before Smith imitates her from behind. The original clip is from the show’s 1990 pilot episode.
“Waited 35 years for this dance to trend,” Smith captioned the post. Smith’s son Jaden commented, “Dad you gotta tell me what’s happening in the crib so I can fly home bro.”

Will Smith making music return with ‘Based on a True Story’ album
Earlier this month, on March 5, Smith shared the video writing, “I’ve been watching y’all and every video has been better than the last!! Love that track @Doechii. @Tatyana Ali remember this?” seemingly dropping an easter egg to fans about their reunion.
The “Anxiety” trend is right on time for Smith, who is returning to his musical roots. The “Pursuit of Happyness” actor announced a brand-new album in January. “Based on a True Story,” set to be released March 28, marks Smith’s first full studio project since 2005’s “Lost and Found.”
On Friday, he shared the album cover art on social media.
Smith has been soft-launching his return for nearly a year, releasing several singles with high-profile collaborators. The album will include those tracks − “You Can Make it,” “Work of Art” and “Tantrum” − made alongside rappers Russ and Joyner Lucas and Smith’s son Jaden.
“Based on a True Story” marks a return to public life for the Oscar-winning actor whose slap of Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards ceremony seemingly derailed his career.
