Overview
- Domingo told the Friends Keep Secrets podcast on Tuesday that he and Will Smith attended Overbrook High School in West Philadelphia with Smith a year ahead of him.
- He said they shared gym and science classes but were never friends, describing Smith as the “cool kid” and himself as the “nerdy” student.
- Domingo recalled Smith’s early local profile as The Fresh Prince performing with DJ Jazzy Jeff at venues like the Wynn Ballroom, which made Smith widely known among classmates.
- The actors briefly reconnected years later when Domingo was working as a waiter at El Torito in Philadelphia; they hugged but did not resume contact.
- The account is a personal, anecdotal recollection that underscores how shared origins can lead to very different social circles and career paths and does not indicate any renewed relationship between the two men.
