Jun 3 2008'Hancock' is Poignant, Particularly on 'Ellen'
Hancock may be getting billed as an action-comedy about a drunk, homeless superhero, but it also has a dramatic, poignant side. So when Will Smith visited Ellen last week, he brought a dinner scene clip sure to make those dance-happy ladies in the audience personally hand him an Oscar--if they could see him through their tears! In it, Hancock explains that he's an amnesiac, how he got his name (a Which Founding Father Are You? Facebook quiz), and that he stopped aging 80 years ago, at precisely the current age of Will Smith. The previously-reserved-for-homemakers clip is under the cut.

He needs to play a character that gets killed, or a bad guy, I mean he has Saved the earth, boxed and won, made it from nothing in the stock world, stopped the bad guys 2 TIMES....oh, saved us from the robots, saved the world from Zombies.

must be the same witch doctor The Beatles and the Stones go to. God knows how old they look is 156, but they had SOME help getting that old

Stuey, he died in I Am Legend. Which is probably the worst part of the movie.
I REALLY want to see Hancock but it's a "I'll-watch-anything-Will-Smith-Does" sort of thing. I hope it lives up to my expectations of action filled Enemy-of-the-state-ness. If it's that or Independence Day with another name I'll be quite satisfied. I blame Hollywood for my low standards.

So he stopped aging 80 years ago, and thus was born about 115 years ago?
He waited until Facebook became popular to take a name? Before then he was just hiding out?
