Will Smith dying to take part in `Eastenders`

London: Hollywood superstar Will Smith is so keen to be a part of British soap opera "Eastenders" that he has requested TV bosses to cast him in the show.

The 41-year-old actor became a fan of the series earlier this year when he was here to promote his movie "Seven Pounds" and now he`s hooked, reports thesun.co.uk "I was just chilling in my hotel and `Eastenders` was on TV. I literally could not stop watching it. Before I knew it, all I had done was get room service and waste a whole afternoon watching this show I`d never heard of," said Smith. "It was so real and gritty. American soaps are all about the beautiful people and being cheesy. This soap had everything. There was fighting, people sleeping around, it had it all going on! I`m a bit busy but when things quieten down I`d love to do a cameo," he added. IANS
