Will Smith knows how to give the people what they want. While the entertainer got a late start to the world of Instagram, his account has become a content creation monster, even landing him a Webby Award for that one time he live-streamed jumping out of a helicopter over the Grand Canyon.
While his latest social media reveal is less extreme, this one absolutely appeals to those who have been following his antics since his days starring on the classic TV sitcom, “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”
As debuted on his account on Thursday (May 2), Smith is now offering a limited edition capsule collection celebrating the TV show where his career in entertainment got its wings.
The “Fresh Prince” capsule collection features t-shirts, keychains, notebooks, hats and collection, with Smith even showing off how the t-shirts change color when select designs come into contact with warmer temperatures. However, in true form to the multifaceted creative’s adventurous spirit, the collection is only available for sale for a 72-hour period.
To promote the collection, the 50-year-old gave fans a preview on Instagram, during which he gives a tour of the items with accompanying sound effects. In addition to utilizing thermal technology, the items also feature ample tie-dye, a color palette nostalgic of the 1990s and fittingly retro design components.
In related news, fans will have the opportunity to catch the acclaimed actor back in action this summer. His next film, the anticipated live action remake of Aladdin, is set to hit theaters on Memorial Day weekend. Smith plays the Genie, a coveted role previously portrayed by the late Robin Williams. According to early industry forecasts, the film is predicted to open between $70 million and $90 million its first weekend.
