(Bangshowbiz):

WILL SMITH dreams of spending Christmas on the beach, but wife Jada Pinkett Smith won't let him.

The I Am Legend star would love to be somewhere sunny for the festive season, but his wife and their children - nine-year-old Jaden and seven-year-old Willow - prefer a White Christmas.

Will said: "We like to go to snow. And by we I mean Jada likes to go to snow. Me? I'd much rather be in Jamaica. But Jada has wonderful childhood memories of snow, so we try to find wherever there's the most snow.

"She actually spends weeks online figuring out where the most is, and that's where we end up going."

The 39-year-old actor also revealed he loves Victoria and David Beckham because they are so funny.

He added to movies.com: "We're friends with Tom and Katie, and they are close with the Beckhams, so when they came to Los Angeles, we started hanging out and befriending them. And getting to know them, they're very, very funny. I keep telling them, 'You probably should let people know how funny y'all are, 'cause you're hilarious.'"
