Will Smith has been honoured for his philanthropic work.

The actor received the 2009 Humanitarian Award at the Simon Wiesenthal Centre's Annual Tribute Dinner.

The centre gave Will the gong for his commitment to education, cultural diversity and social responsibility.

The award was presented to the actor by his Hancock co-star Charlize Theron. She said of the 40-year-old: "I've never met anybody like Will. I've never met anybody who has the effect he has on people."

Will's wife of 11 years, Jada Pinkett Smith, also paid tribute to her husband.

Hello magazine reports that she said: "Will often gets honoured for the great talent he is, and it's just fantastic to see him being honoured for the great man that he is."
