40. I met Will Smith at a movie opening - Bulletproof Monk

He was walking by and i did the inexcusable - I greeted him and asked for an autograph.
He was genuinely the nicest person to talk to - he stayed and talked for a couple of minutes to my daughter and I.
(Later at the after show party I stood next to Dustin Hoffman, and he really is short. I mean walk under my outstretched arm short. Whereas The Rock is BIGGER THAN LIFE when you are standing next to him.)
