President Barack Obama didn't just have friends and family in the room when he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo on Thursday.
Actor Will Smith and wife Jada were there, an administration official said. Singer Wyclef Jean was also in the crowd.
Smith and Jean are in Oslo to headline a concert on Friday honoring Obama for receiving the Nobel, a spokesperson confirmed. Singers Natasha Bedingfield, Toby Keith and Donna Summer will also perform.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight last year, Obama said he'd like to see Smith play him if a movie is made about his life.
Jean headlined Obama's Green Ball during the inauguration and the president is said to be a fan of his. The singer told POLITICO earlier in the year that then-Senator Obama once told him he had his Carnival CD in his car.
