Star Catcher
Will Smith -- Still a Prince

Posted Feb 6th 2007 2:01PM by TMZ Staff

He's one of the biggest superstars on the planet, but Will Smith still appreciates the little people.

TMZ cameras were rolling as Big Willy left the Oscar nominees luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hilton yesterday. As his SUV began to drive off, two eager fans begged the star to stop for a picture. Surprisingly, Will ordered his driver to pull over, and he hopped out, wrapped his arms around the excited fans and smiled for a few photos. Classy old Hollywood style for the Best Actor Oscar nominee.

Fans were also dishing out some love to Will's former "Fresh Prince" co-star, Alfonso Ribeiro. While hanging outside of Hyde nightclub, Alfonso pulled a kiss and a few compliments from a female fan.

No word if he busted out the "Carlton" dance inside the club.

Also out on town "Idol"-reject-turned-SAG winner Jennifer Hudson, Forest Whitaker, Martin Scorsese, Val Kilmer, Courteney Cox and Kevin Connolly.

17. WILL SMITH IS SUCH A GREAT DUDE.

Everytime someone has something to say about Will it's always so positive.
Maybe men, black men in particular can actually look at Will Smith as a role model as opposed to the arrogrant and less attractive P. "Dummies",
Jamie "lost his mind" Foxx and the not as talented as he thinks he is--
Kanye "no-hot" West.

Unlike these other "brothers", Will Smith seems to have a COMPLETE life.
He has committed to a happy life by having a REAL family, complete with a wife and kids-- not having "baby mammas" all over town - - are you listening
P. Diddy?? He and wife Jada are also spiritual people who share these VALUES with their kids. And also, BLACK MEN are you listening, in particular? Will Smith parents have been married for over forty YEARS! It's called having a committed, stable and MONOGAMOUS relationship with ONE PERSON that helps to balance out your life!! JAMIE FOXX, P. DIDDY, KANYE WEST and the others are you listening?? Once you RESPECT yourself by respecting those around you, it's easy for people, even strangers to LOVE you--ask WILL. Happy Black History month to all of our beloved Americans (black, white, hispanics, asians, indians, middle easterns, etc.) --the greatest country on earth.

18. I gotta admit, I just LOVE Will Smith! and I don't say that about anyone in this shallow industry. He is such a down to earth guy and a true gentleman. Hollyweird celebs should follow his example YOU GO WILL!

20. How many times will you see this many positive posts on TMZ? Never, which says alot about this class act. He is a role model for anyone. Too bad there are so few celebrities like him.

21. If cameras are not around and Will Smith is gracious to the public and is a regular person the word still gets around as quick as it would with cameras.
..........Will Smith has gone up in my book. He seems like he is a genuine human being not some product of an agent who talks when the puppet strings are pulled or a public relations firm tells him what to say and who to say it to and when to say it.......he is a genuine member of the human race.
