Alfonso Ribeiro doesn’t want Tyler Perry to ‘do anything for me’

Alfonso Ribeiro is doing very well.

When someone on Twitter suggested to the actor/host/director that Tyler Perry, himself a writer/director/actor, “revamp” Ribeiro’s career, he responded, “I don’t need or want this man to do anything for me. “

Both have a professional history, however; Ribeiro directed 12 episodes of the Perry-created sitcom Meet the Browns in 2009 and 2010.

Weekly Entertainment contacted representatives for Ribeiro and Perry.

Ribeiro doesn’t seem to need anyone’s help anyway. Since 2022, the actor has hosted Dancing with the starswhich he won in November 2014. He has also hosted must-see TV shows America’s Funniest Home Videos since 2015.

Ribeiro’s main role is of course The prince of Bel-AirThis is Carlton Banks, the preppy cousin of Will Smith’s main character, who performed a certain move known for decades as the “Carlton dance.”

He said Today in September 2022, fans were still interested.

“You understand the idea that this person existed and this reality existed for you and, for me, I realized that when people come up to me on the street and say, ‘Do the dance,’ it’s like : ‘Really ? Are you asking me to dance for you?’”

All these years later… Fresh Prince was on the air from 1990 to 1996 — he accepted it.

“It’s really their experience and you learn to gain that empathy where you can kind of say, ‘This is about you and what you had in your home and I can appreciate that.’ I still don’t dance, but I enjoy other people’s experiences with me as a character.”
