Will Smith and Rosario Dawson
When Rosario isn't knocking on doors in swing states, she's busy making movies. Rosario says she was drawn to the film Seven Pounds after reading the script.
While flying home from the Hispanic Heritage Awards with her mom and grandmother, Rosario says she opened the script and was immediately hooked. "I start, and I'm just crying immediately," she says. "I realized I'm like 50 pages in, and I don't know what's happening."
Before reading the ending, Rosario says she went back and reread the parts she loved. "I acted them out in my chair in the plane," she says. "Then, [I] read the ending. ... I'm not a public crier, per se, and I'm just sitting on this plane with people. I was a weepy mess."
Rosario wasn't the only star who shed a few tears. While screening the film for the first time, Rosario says her emotions got the best of her…and Will had the same reaction. "We walked out crying. I was, like, 'Oh, thank God,'" Rosario says. "'It's not just me.'"
