WATCH: Will Smith does the ‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ rap in Irish (and he nails it)

Tony Cuddihy

Get ready for something very special.

When Laura Holland from our sister site over at Her.ie got the chance to sit down with Will Smith, she was determined to get him to speak our native tongue and to perform the rap from the opening credits of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Given the fact that she only had a few minutes with Smith, who was promoting his latest movie Collateral Beauty, she decided to combine the two.

The results, you’ll agree, are go an-mhaith indeed.

Smith also spoke about the film that makes him get a little bit teary, and the role he would choose from classics of the past if the opportunity were to come up.
