Ale Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) Movie star Will Smith cheers on his son and the rest of the Westlake Village-Oaks Christian JV team Friday as they played Bakersfield Christian. Will Smith didn't seem interested until the parade of well-wishers and photo-seekers became a game of cat-and-mouse. That was when a Bakersfield woman walked by his spot in the Bakersfield Christian stands Friday afternoon with her cell phone propped up at her ear. But she wasn't talking. She was getting close to snap a photo, all without Smith's burly assistants shooing her off. It was enough to impress a movie star. "I saw you!" Smith shouted after her. "That was very clever, very clever." And so Smith and family -- wife Jada Pinkett Smith, one daughter in a "Smith" football jersey and the other in a Hancock baseball hat, plus son Jaden, who has his own budding movie career -- took in Bakersfield Christian's junior-varsity game against Westlake Village-Oaks Christian, for whom Smith's son Trey plays wide receiver. Some hundred feet away, Oaks Christian quarterback Trevor Gretzky's dad, who happens to be NHL scoring king Wayne Gretzky, stood happily. With his potential throng of admirers distracted by Smith, Gretzky was able to watch the game in relative peace. Such is the life at Oaks Christian, the only high school in America where hockey's Great One goes unnoticed. Shortly after the Smiths arrived near the beginning of the second quarter, word spread to the BCHS side of the stands and people began coming over to see Smith, one of the highest-grossing movie stars of all time. First it was a couple of giggling girls. Then some students looking for a good story to tell their friends later. Then word spread some more. Soon, the assistants were telling people before they even approached that it was "family time" for Smith. Instead, the celebrity-seekers stood behind a fence a few hundred feet away and shouted "Hi, Will Smith!" He responded with a smile and wave, and then turned back to the game to watch the most famous JV squad in America. Later, during the varsity game, 49ers legendary quarterback Joe Montana appeared, standing quietly atop the visiting bleachers. No one seemed to turn a head. http://www.bakersfield.com/136/story/544479.html Edited October 7, 2008 by Ale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
