The private party was no less than Hollywood’s main events as many renowned names made their presence including
Tom Cruise‘s then-wife, Katie Holmes, Smith’s better half, Jada Pinkett Smith, Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry, and Jim Carrey.
The 48-year-old sports personality’s close friend, David Gardner also commented on the party sharing,
“It was like being in Madame Tussauds, everywhere you looked there was a famous person.”
“The next minute the piano starts going and Stevie Wonder startings singing him happy birthday. And I was like ‘f**k this, he’s gone, we’ve lost him.’”
