AMAZING!

Go ahead and admit that you still bump Will’s “Summertime” every year when the weather breaks! That hit song is just one of many for this Grammy-winning hottie, who is also the only actor in history to have eight consecutive films gross over $100 million at the box office. As if that wasn’t enough, this guy has also produced many of the films he’s starred in. Can you say talent?
