Will Smith 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' on Ellen Video: Actor Raps Song on 'Ellen'
American actor Will Smith appeared on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" where he recreated the theme song from his old TV series, "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."
"I Am Legend" actor, Will Smith made a guest appearance on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" to promote his new movie, "Focus," a romantic dark comedy where he co-stars with Margot Robbie.
Smith, 46, is currently on the rebound from his critically panned 2013 sci-fi film, "After Earth," and he treated host Ellen and the studio audience to an impromptu rap rendition of the theme song from "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", as well as a performance of "Summertime."

The actor, who launched his acting career and rose to fame on the 1990s NBC sitcom where he played a Philadelphia inner city teenager sent to live with his wealthy uncle and aunt in Bel Air, brought back the nostalgia of the period, with the audience rapping the lyrics along with him while he danced.
Smith previously performed the same intro on "The Graham Norton Show" in May 2013, where he was joined by "Fresh Prince" co-stars, Alfonso Ribeiro and DJ Jazzy Jeff, as well as his son, Jaden Smith, with whom he starred with in "After Earth."
He also appeared on "The Late Show With David Letterman" yesterday to revive his 1990s popular hit, "Getting' Jiggy Wit It," and starred in a "Fresh Prince" parody with talk show host, Jimmy Fallon earlier this month.
Smith's round of media appearances and performances are geared at capturing audience interest for his February 27 movie, "Focus," where he plays an experienced con man who falls in love with Margot Robbie's character and starts introducing her to the tricks of his trade. Eventually, he and Robbie find themselves on opposite sides of the same scam, trying to outdo each other in the con game.
