Hollywood actor Will Smith is making friends with some of Lazio's soccer stars in Beijing.

Smith is in China's capital with his family for the remake of the The Karate Kid in which his son Jaden is starring and has struck up a friendship with the Lazio players who are sharing the same hotel.

The Men In Black star and his soccer-mad eldest son Trey have been invited to attend the Italian SuperCup match between Lazio and Inter on Saturday August 8 by his hotel suite neighbours and superstars Tommaso Rocchi and Julio Cruz have handed the Hollywood icon team shirts to wear to the match.
