Hollywood actor Will Smith paid $ 100 thousand so that the city of New Orleans in the US state of Louisiana could set off fireworks on Independence Day. This was announced on Sunday, July 4, by the TMZ portal.

According to him, the artist, who is filming the film "Emancipation" in New Orleans, learned that the city does not have the funds to launch fireworks due to the coronavirus pandemic.

To save the holiday, Smith donated $ 100,000 to the city through his company Westbrook. Soon after, the actor received a lot of thanks from local residents and city authorities.

New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell said the festive fireworks will be launched on July 4 in the evening on the Mississippi River. This will be possible "thanks to actor and producer Will Smith and his company Westbrook," she wrote on Twitter.

In March, Will Smith admitted the possibility of his nomination for the presidency of the United States.
