Will Smith is looking back at his early days of fame, and making his fans nostalgic while he's at it!
It has officially been over thirty years since the actor premiered his hit sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which made him a household name in Hollywood after first getting his start in the entertainment business as a singer.
The show originally aired on NBC starting on September 10, 1990, and ran for six seasons and 148 episodes until May 20, 1996.
Will took to Instagram on the special anniversary to commemorate the milestone, sharing a nostalgia-inducing photo of what appears to to be him in present day or recently, posing in front of the iconic Bel-Air home his character, also named Will Smith and partly-inspired by him, moved into with his wealthy Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian.
"Moved in 33 years ago today," Will aptly wrote in his caption, and his fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post and reminisce about the beloved sitcom.
"Legend," one follower wrote, as others added: "Wow, time goes by so quickly," and: "All the feels! What a time, what a legacy," as well as: "Omg I'm crying, my childhood!" plus another fan added: "Time flies... you don't look that much older, just look a lot wiser… loved your persona from the start."
Will, now 54, was 22 when he starred on Fresh Prince, alongside the late James Avery and Janet Hubert as his aunt and uncle, Alfonso Ribeiro as his cousin Carlton Banks and Karyn Parsons and his cousin Hilary Banks.

Per the iconic theme song, which Will sang himself alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff, the story of the show followed the Fresh Prince's life getting "flipped-turned upside down."
