PA Will Smith Hitch Premiere feb 05Will Smith at the London premiereWill Smith popped over to Britain to promote his new film and managed to get his name in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The 36-year-old actor was rewarded for making the most public appearances in the space of 12 hours.

He started in Manchester at the Printworks, then headed to Birmingham's UGC, before arriving in a snowy London.

The Men In Black star was joined by his two Hitch co-stars, Eva Mendes and Amber Valletta, on his whirlwind tour - where he was constantly greeting by screaming fans.

"I've had a beautiful day," he said as he arrived in London's Leicester Square. "They got me in the Guinness Book of World Records - I like that! It's kind of cool."

He added: "I love being able to meet my fans. It's the reason I do what I do. The reaction from people has been great, and I'm so grateful they came out to see me in the snow."

In the romantic comedy, Smith plays a New York date doctor who helps men woo the women of their dreams.

The film shot straight to the top of the US box office charts and is released in the UK on March 11.
