Will Smith only partly shared with the public a video supporting that parenting is raw joy. The clip is showing a dad and his daughter cracking a groove to some classic Will Smith tunes; really, the world needed a little squirt of sunshine that day. It came along with a caption: “Dancing with your kids is an indescribable joy!! Glad I could be a part of that for you @gareth_sewrey!!” Judging by the reaction, the support is confirmed.

Shot at Wembley Stadium, the video shows the dad-daughter team going all-out: Oh, she has to watch her dad relive a bit of his youth while she vibed with him! The dad’s energy was contagious, and his daughter matched the enthusiasm. This kind of moment makes one wish that they had been there or even have had a time machine to go back and relive their own childhood dance sessions.

Reactions flowed about: “Let’s be honest, dad is there for himself but he is sharing that moment with his daughter, and it’s beautiful,” said one. And really? Best kind of parenting is when you’re more hyped than your own kid, if not equally. Another exclaimed, “Dad been waiting his whole life for this,” and honestly, that might be right.

The daughter is the real MVP for ever so slightly embracing his awkwardness to the fullest. Someone commented, “The daughter is the one minding the dad,” and yeah, that fits. She is videotaping, laughing, and hyping her dad up to the max. Another one chimed in, “They besties fr I love this,” and I wholeheartedly agree.

Not everyone cared for it fully. An opinion that caught my ire was: “I’m just bothered that he poorly lip synced Prince of Bel Air and looks to be from my generation. Shameful sir.” A fair critique, but let’s not go pretending we never in our lifetime showed off a less-than-flawless Will Smith routine.

There was this weird comment, “What in the AI prompt is this?” which I honestly do not understand, but the video is very real, and very wholesome. Another said, “Growing up with parents who grew up in the 80s & 90s is the childhood ever,” and… I concur.

The pop-up video even galvanized regional pride with another user asking, “Man listen the states got to put more respect on Will. I want a concert to come to philly!!” And indeed, Philly does deserve one.

In truth, this was a cute little moment of father and daughter bonding through music and creating memories while reminding us all that sometimes just letting go and dancing is the best thing ever. Will Smith may have been the soundtrack to this, but what really made the magic was the connection between the two.

Real questions now: What did they jam to? No setlist was given, but let’s be honest, it almost certainly must’ve been a cocktail of “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It,” “Men in Black,” along with at least one sincere attempt of “Fresh Prince.” Too good to resist.

So yeah, Will Smith dropped a video, the internet sunbathed on him, and for a fleeting moment, all was light. Fine for a Tuesday, indeed.
