The Heartbreaking Story Behind Will Smith's Saddest 'Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air' Scene

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air was a classic 90s icon loved by many!

But one scene sticks in our head, and there's a story behind it which makes it even more sad.

The scene where Will's deadbeat father Lou comes back into his life after 14 years of being absent is unforgettable.

When Will is talking to his on-screen Father, the words are more true than we realised.

Will's speech was actually ad-libbed by Will Smith - it was completely impromptu, improvised and straight from the heart.

Legend has it, that his words are based on his own traumatic childhood. Will Smith's real father didn't leave him, but he spent a lot of time in the military and after that, ran his own business.
