In case anyone didn’t remember, Will Smith did and undid at will in The prince of Bel Air.
Ask Janet Hubertthe first Aunt Vivian, whether or not she was.
Thus, between 1990 and 1996, when the series was on the air, every important decision went through the Will Smith filter. Obviously, Cameos also entered into this type of decision.
Throughout the six seasons that the hit series had, people like Uncle Phil passed through the house Hugh Hefner, Queen Latifah, Donald Trump, Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks… even Chris Rockwho decades later would smack him, minutes before winning the Oscar, went through the series.
Well, RuPaul wasn’t one of them.. And it wasn’t because Will Smith flatly refused. It seemed like a “bad idea”.
Has been David Steven Simonexecutive producer of the series, who has commented on it to the journalist Thea Glassmanin his book Freaks, Gleeks and Dawson’s Creek: How Seven Teen Shows Transformed Television, in some statements that the magazine has collected People.
As he recalled, It all happened in 1993, when RuPaul was in the midst of releasing his debut album, Supermodel of the World. At the time, David Steven Simon thought it was a good idea for RuPaul to appear on the series, giving his record a little push, but Will Smith wasn’t up for it.
The complicated thing about the matter, according to the executive producer of the series, is that Will Smith used to give the go-ahead to almost all the proposals that were made to him. David Steven Simon believes that the actor was concerned about his reputation. “The reason I would say no is because of her image. and point“.
Suspicious, right? RuPaul has made it clear that he did not need Will Smith to become the star he is now, but it is curious that this cameo did not like Will Smith too much.
