Gonna party like it’s 1996! Will Smith got two blasts from the past on one night — Monday, Nov. 23 — when he reunited with a couple of former costars from his Fresh Prince days.

The Concussion actor, 47, attended a special screening of his new NFL drama in Westwood, Calif., where he was joined by wife Jada Pinkett Smith and pals including Alfonso Ribeiro and Vivica A. Fox.

Ribeiro, of course, costarred with Smith in the sitcom Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which ran from 1990 to 1996. They’ve been close ever since; the Dancing With the Stars Season 19 winner even taught Smith’s son Trey, 22, how to drive.

“Will and I talk and we all get together,” Ribeiro told Us back in 2014 of the Fresh Prince cast. “We all have such love for each other . . . and that love is forever.”

Fox, meanwhile, played the Focus actor’s girlfriend (and later, wife) in 1996’s Independence Day. The epic sci-fi movie was one of Smith’s first big blockbusters, after 1995’s Bad Boys.

Both Ribeiro, 44, and Fox, 51, also attended the Concussion afterparty at L.A. hot spot STK, where Smith and his family were dining as well.
