Will Smith may be one of the biggest names in the film industry, but it looks like the Oscar-winning actor may also be a fanboy when it comes to the 90s boy band, NSYNC. Like the rest of the world, the Aladin star was shaken when he witnessed the reunion that nobody saw coming on Tuesday night. However, just a day after the reunion, the actor made a rather astounding demand on one of the band members’ social media page.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor surprised social media users when he left a comment on NSYNC’s reunion post after they had stunned the world on the VMA pink carpet.

After the MTV VMAs on Tuesday, NSYNC member Justin Timberlake took to his Instagram to share a video of the band after they had made their reunion official but only to present an award to Taylor Swift. It was captioned, “So five guys walk into an elevator…”, like the beginning of a classic joke. While the video of the group messing around in an elevator definitely garnered a ton of attention from their fans, Will Smith also made a special appearance in their comments section, making a request.

The Men in Black star seemed to share the same sentiments as the rest of NSYNC’s fans. And immediately left a comment saying, “Y’all better be makin’ music in that elevator”, something that everyone else in the comments section immediately agreed with. But while fans will be getting a new song ‘Better Place’ in Trolls Band Together soon, the internet cannot get over their surprise reunion.

The group broke up back in 2003 due to speculations that Justin Timberlake had been more focused on launching his solo career. Though the hopes of a reunion have been ignited, TMZ  sources revealed how the band has no plans of working on any music together or on tours. Even then, all fans can wish is for their favorites to agree to Will Smith’s demands and give fans a new album.
