    Will Smith: Hero Actor Salutes Real Deal

    "I so love what he stands for and respect him so much that when I met him, I was a bit shaky," she told the Philadelphia Daily News, which asked if she'd endorse him for President.

I haven't ever met him or talked to him, but he's the first person in a long time who I've been inspired by." (Koichi Kamoshida, Getty Images)
