Fresh Prince
Okay, so we pretty much gave it away with the headline, but would you have guessed this sweet little boy is Will Smith? The A-list actor has been in the spotlight since his teens; he started rapping when he was just 12 years old and started acting in his late teens. As we all know, the show that jump-started his acting career was The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990).
As you probably know, the highly-successful TV show was largely based on Smith’s personal life and even the name was inspired by Smith’s childhood nickname- Prince. His school friends used to call him that thanks to his charisma and talent. He grew up as a normal kid in Philadelphia until he discovered his rapping talent at age 12.
