London, Jan 16 : `Independence Day' star Will Smith, who has been ecstatic ever since the election of Barack Obama to the White House, has revealed that he will be an "eyewitness to history" at the inauguration.

Smith, who was at the Gala premiere of Seven Pounds, said that he's very excited to be at Obama''s inauguration next week.

He, however, revealed that he would not be performing at the ceremony on January 20.

"You know I thought about that, but I think I''m going to keep it a little more subdued than that," the Telegraph quoted him as saying.

"I''m just going to stand there and be an eyewitness to history," he added. (ANI)bar
