In reality, the 47-year-old looked more like a football linebacker than the barrel-chested, strict-but-loving father figure of the original Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. While Bel-Air does endeavour to pull plotlines straight from the original, Holmes views it as doing a lot more — or at least doing it differently. But even as everything from Friends to Calvin and Hobbes to Bambi has received the gritty reboot treatment, Fresh Prince is the only one to directly lead to a new production. The characters are modern imaginings of those seen in the original Fresh Prince. But if you always wanted a Fresh Prince to just go darker, Bel-Air might be for you.
