Will Smith apparently doesn’t like watching himself in the hit 1990s show Fresh Prince of Bel Air, given that he didn’t really know how to memorize lines back then, claiming he was so focused on success he learned everyone’s lines.

f you watch the first four or five episodes you can see I’m mouthing other people’s lines,” he said on the Graham Norton Show. “It’s terrible and I can’t bear to watch it.”

As far as a revival: “Man, I’d have to be Uncle Phil in that one now. I’m nearly 50!” he quipped.

He previously told ET when asked about a revival: “Nah man, you can’t touch stuff like that. It’s so nostalgic for people — I’m not going nowhere near that.”
