Why Did Will Smith Regret Feuding With Fresh Prince Costar Janet Hubert? Actor Says He Made A ‘Horrible Error’

by

As an ardent fan, I can’t help but marvel at the journey of Will Smith and Janet Hubert, two brilliant actors whose bond seemed to crumble under the glare of fame. Their story is a testament to the complexities of human relationships, especially when fame and ambition come into play.

There were difficulties in the relationship between actor Will Smith and Janet Hubert, who portrayed Aunt Vivian Banks on the original Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Hubert departed from the series in 1993 over creative disagreements, and Daphne Maxwell Reid eventually took over her role.

In the year 2020, there was a reconciliation between Hubert and Smith. The esteemed actor, who won an Oscar, confessed on the recent episode of Vice’s Black Comedy in America series that he had erred severely by underestimating his co-star during their time working together.

Smith admitted to Chris Spencer, during a reflection on his career, that he had significantly undervalued a person’s worth, power, and beauty within the show. He acknowledged that he had underestimated her immense impact on him at that particular time in his life.

Prior to reconciling, Smith expressed in an interview with an Atlanta radio station (as reported by Complex) that Hubert desired the television series to primarily focus on her character, dubbed “The Aunt Viv of Bel-Air Show.” Both parties exchanged accusations against each other until their emotional reunion at the show’s 30th anniversary event, which was organized by HBO Max.

Approximately a year after, Hubert confided in People magazine that her relationship with the actor from The Pursuit of Happyness had improved. “When I hugged him,” she explained to the publication, “I truly meant it because I could see the young boy within him, the 21-year-old boy.

She acknowledged that if they’d been given a chance to converse earlier, there wouldn’t have been all the turmoil. However, they’ve since developed a friendly relationship and are constantly exchanging messages with one another.
