Will Smith broke the world record for the maximum number of premieres attended by a celebrity in 12 hours.

The "Independence Day" star jetted across Britain to make it to three red-carpet screenings of his new film "Hitch" starting in Manchester, then flying to London and then Birmingham, all in 12 hours.

The 38-year-old actor will now be noted in the Guinness Book of World Records for achieving the greatest number of public appearances.

At each stop, Will - dressed casually in a camel coat, jeans and leather cap - was greeted by hundreds of screaming fans. He also stopped to sign autographs and pose for photos.
