Will Smith: 'Women want to bed me because I make them laugh'

Will said: "No one believes me, but comedy is better than muscles, money or looks.

"If you can make a girl laugh out loud, you're in there.

In a cheeky interview with Zoo magazine, he said: "It's almost like the pressure of the laugh makes her panties fall off."

Hopefully, Smith, who is happily married to actress wife Jada Pinkett-Smith is not speaking from experience.

The 39-year-old actor, who plays the only survivor of a virus that wipes out New York, waved to the fans before making his way up to the balcony of the Odeon Leicester Square.

He told the West End crowd: "I'm very proud of this film, it's been very successful in the United States, so I hope you guys like it, and I think you will.

"I just wanted to say thank you very much - it's cold out here but you've made my heart feel warm - thank you."

At the afterparty of the Leicester Square premiere he chatted to fans and signed autographs and was cracking everyone up all night with his jokes.

And jokingly, he grabbed producer Akiva Goldsman and demanded: "How did you feel making a movie where the last man alive was a black guy?"

I Am Legend's opening weekend in US cinemas notched up a personal best for the actor, who spends much of the film's running time alone on screen. It achieved an estimated 76.5m (£38.25m).

Smith's daughter Willow co-stars in flashback scenes in the movie, and the actor was keen to emphasise his enthusiasm that his children with wife Jade Pinkett-Smith are carrying on the family tradition.

"It was beautiful working with my daughter," he said.

"She's very into acting and performing, so any time your kids want to do what you do, it's a great experience as a father."

Asked whether he would consider following other American actors such as Mickey Rooney and Christian Slater onto the West End stage, he said: "You know, I've always thought about it, but it's something you have got to take seriously.

"I have no ego or arrogance about being able to get on stage, that's a real job. You have got to be focused and I would have to approach it with the same vigour and energy."

The film opens in UK cinemas on Boxing Day.
