Smith is successful today and his fans love him for being down-to-earth. In 2016, the actor appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Show and shared how he had to borrow money from a fan. According to NY Daily News, Smith was 30 minutes away driving his car and he realized that he is out of gas in his tank.
The Teen Choice Award winner noticed that the wallet is not with him and he called his wife to get him the wallet while a fan around helped him. Smith hilariously admitted that it is easy to spot a Fresh Prince fan, “I looked over on the other side and I saw a dude … He was, like, 36, and I was like, ‘That dude is a Fresh Prince fan.’ You can spot ’em!”
It seemed the actor was correct because as soon as Smith rolled down the window, the 36-year-old fan recognized him and he turned out to be a Fresh Prince fan. The fan immediately took a picture with Smith and the actor tried to take the fan's contact to return him the borrowed amount back but the fan refused.
While Smith took $10, the fan must be happy to help as he had interaction with the coolest actor in Hollywood.
