Smith Attempts To Beat Cruise's Red Carpet Record

Hollywood actor WILL SMITH is on a mission to beat his pal TOM CRUISE by spending the most time on the red carpet.

The star is busy promoting his new film Hancock across the globe and he is desperate to meet and greet as many fans as possible - so he can quash the record set by Cruise, who notoriously spent almost three hours signing autographs during a previous movie premiere.

Smith says, "It's hard to beat that dude. He has another gear.

"He did two and a half hours in France for Mission: Impossible on the red carpet. Now when I go to France, people will say, 'You know, Tom was out here for two and a half hours.'"
