Will Smith leaves fans heartbroken as he confirms he WON’T reboot Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air
Star says stuff would have 'to go really wrong' before there was a reunion show
WILL Smith has ruled out EVER making a Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air reunion - leaving fans of the 90s show devastated.
Will dropped the bombshell during a UK gig with rapper Jazzy Jeff, who bizarrely confirmed earlier this month that talks were being held to reboot the sitcom.
But Will has shot his pal down in flames.
When asked if Fresh Prince will be returning to our screens, Will told : "Stuff had to go really wrong for there to be a Fresh Prince reunion special.
"Like, I don't know what would have to happen! Nah man, you can't touch stuff like that.
"It's so nostalgic for people - I'm not going nowhere near that."
In March, Will joined his Fresh Prince cast members Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton Banks), Tatyana Ali (Ashley), Karyn Parsons (Hilary Banks), Daphne Reid (Vivien Banks), and Joseph Marcell (Geoffrey the butler) for a reunion at Malibu eatery Nobu.
It was the first time the gang had been pictured together since the show's final season went off air 20 years ago.
Although the event was tinged with sadness due to the absence of James Avery, who played Uncle Phil, who passed away in 2013, it did give fans hope that a Fresh Prince reunion was on the cards.
Jazzy Jeff - real name Jeffrey Allen Townes - then added fuel to the fire by telling The Sun earlier this month: "There have been talks with people about doing something.

"I think it would be cool if they did it and go down memory lane again.
"It’s a blessing to be part of something that people still hold in high regard. You can’t beat that."
Jazzy made the comment ahead of a gig in Blackpool last weekend, which saw him reunite on stage with Will for the first time in two decades.
