Argentina are favourites for the Copa America, and it's no surprise considering they have the backing of a heavyweight champion, secret agent and the last man alive in post-apocalyptic New York.

Will Smith, star of Ali, Men in Black and I Am Legend, has publicly come out in support of the South Americans ahead of their opening game against Paraguay. The actor posed with Sergio Aguero, who scored a hat-trick in a warm-up game against Bolivia.

Smith is not the first A-lister to put their weight behind the World Cup finalists. https://twitter.com/rihanna/status/488407240739934208 However, with his backing it now seems even more likely that they'll get their fresh prints on the trophy in July.
