Washington, Dec 16 : Hollywood actor Will Smith was so thrilled and excited over Barack Obama's historic win that he didn't touch a drop of alcohol in a bid to remember every moment of the evening.

The `Men in Black' actor knew history would be made when America went to the polls last month - and he deliberately avoided drinking so he could enjoy it even more.

"I wanted to be totally sober. I wanted to see and feel and remember everything. The whole family was there," Contactmusic quoted Will Smith, as telling USA Today.

"It was really fantastic - either way I knew it would be a historical evening. I wanted to be there and be aware," he added.

Obama had many celebrity supporters including Will Smith, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and many more. (ANI)
