Willard Carroll Smith, Jr., better known as Will Smith, turns 44 today. This American actor, rapper, and producer hails from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and currently resides in Los Angeles, California.
His newest venture is the musical remake of "Annie" in partnership with Jay-Z and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith*. Another birthday will have gone by the time the movie is released. "Annie", starring Quvenzhané Wallis as Annie and Cameron Diaz as Miss Hannigan, won't hit theaters until December 19, 2014.
*Despite a slew of divorce rumors this year, Will and Jada are still going strong. The rumor that they were selling their LA mansion has also been discredited.
Is it just me, or does Will Smith not physically age? He looks the same now as he did when he was the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air back in 1996. Take a look...

Maybe within that time he got a haircut. Maybe.
Anyway, have a wonderful birthday Will Smith!
