Will Smith proved to be a big fan of Carlos Vives over the weekend. The Hollywood star attended the 'Starlite' gala, organized by Antonio Banderas, where all guests showed their excitement after the Colombian musician took the stage to perform his hit songs. 

The charity event celebrated its 15th anniversary and took place at La Cantera de Nagüeles in Marbella, Spain. The gala had multiple special performances and served as an opportunity to raise funds for women's and children's services, including pediatric surgery, labor & delivery, and ongoing preventive care, among other services. 

Many celebrities and A-list stars reunited for a good cause, including the 'Bad Boys' star, who sat next to Antonio and was spotted cheering throughout the event, especially after the Colombian singer started to sing his popular song 'La Gota Fría.'
