Known for committing to every role, the Academy Award-winning actor was enthusiastic about taking on the Rolls-Royce as do-gooder, maintaining the crowd’s energy at a high throughout the event.

During a break in the games, the lauded actor reminded the crowd of his breakdancing repertoire and took the opportunity to have some fun and bust some moves with Instagram model, Jen Selter. Some of the celebs got more competitive than others. Selter proved her famously fit figure offered some competitive edge, and former New York Yankee Johnny Damon scored several goals. In a surprising moment for the star athlete, Damon missed a wide-open shot, leading the tournament’s announcer to joke, “Hey! That’s just like a missing a fly ball, Johnny.”

To conclude the event, rapper O.T Genasis took the stage, performing three songs, including his chart-topping original, “CoCo.” Spectators took the sand and rejoiced, while celebrities including Larsa Pippen and Jordan Belfort danced and celebrated on stage.
