Will Smith wastes day watching EastEnders
Monday, 19th October 2009.
Hollywood's highest-paid actor Will Smith has revealed he became addicted to EastEnders during a recent trip to the UK.
The superstar - who was recently over here promoting new film Seven Pounds - told The Sun how he spent one afternoon locked in his hotel watching the goings on in Albert Square.
"I was just chilling in my hotel and EastEnders was on TV," he told the newspaper
"I didn't even know what it was, but I literally could not stop watching it.
"It was like a week's worth of episodes in one. Before I knew it, all I had done was get room service and waste a whole afternoon watching this show I'd never heard of!"
The 41 year-old star of hit movies Hancock, i Robot and Independence Day also revealed that he loves the down-to-earth aspect of Enders and its characters.
"It was so real and gritty," he said. "American soaps are all about the beautiful people and being cheesy. This soap had everything. There was fighting, people sleeping around - it had it all going on!"
And if he has his own way, we could even catch a glimpse of Will ordering a pint in the Queen Vic.
"I'm a bit busy but when things quieten down I'd love to do a cameo, he added.
"I could make a big entrance in the pub, as you guys call it, and be like: 'Hey, girl let's take this outside.'"
If only Daniella Westbrook was staying in the show longer... he could have had an Albert Square scrap with Sam Mitchell!
