Will Smith put in a good 12-hour day in Greater Cleveland Thursday.In the midst of a five-city tour promoting his new film, "Seven Pounds," Smith was greeted by an array of hugs, handshakes, cell-phone snappers, and "you're-really-an-inspiration" moments from starstruck fans.
"We've never done it this way before, we usually only do New York and L.A.," said Smith. "This is more like the old school music tours. Different clubs, different cities, meeting people. You get in touch with what people are feeling and thinking and it's much more personal when you're actually out shaking hands."
The actor-rapper-humanitarian carried his considerable charisma around town in a huge bus emblazoned with his face and the film's title. "Seven Pounds," a drama about a man who suffers a tragedy then helps seven strangers, opens nationwide Dec. 19th.

Will Smith promotes new movie, helping others in Cleveland
CLEVELAND: Will Smith grew up in sometimes-snowy Philadelphia but has been softened up by life in Hollywood. ''I've definitely been re-sensitized to cold,'' he said with a chuckle this morning during a chat with reporters in the InterContinental Hotel in Cleveland.
Cleveland was chosen for the tour in part because Smith has fond memories of playing there with DJ Jazzy Jeff when Smith was better known as the Fresh Prince.
