Will Smith plays John Hancock in the 2008 movie Hancock. On the movie poster and in the movie he is wearing a pair of Fitovers Navigator sunglasses.
It has been suggested that these glasses are the Fitovers Navigator N002 (Matte Black frame, PDX Grey lenses), but it could also be Fitovers Navigator N002A (Matte Black, PDX Amber lenses) since the lenses in most movie screenshots seem to be amber color, instead of grey.
Fitovers sunglasses are designed to be worn over prescription eyewear, hence the large, strange shape.

The exact color of the Ray-Ban sunglasses that Zac Efron is wearing is Gold (arista) frame and Gray Polarized lenses, color-code 001/58.

In the beautiful, touching movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Brad Pitt wears Ray-Ban RB 3030 Outdoorsman sunglasses. The glasses can be seen when Brad Pitt rides his Indian motorcycle.
The extra thick bridge above the nose, that characterizes the 3030 Outdoorsman Aviators, can just be seen in the screenshots on the left.
These glasses are more robust than the classic aviators, and feature cable temples that wrap behind the ears to ensure that your sunglasses stay in place during intense movement, or when riding a motorcycle.
If you don't want these wrap-around stems, have a look at the Ray-Ban 3029 Outdoorsman II: same cool design but standard temples.

more Patrick Dempsey sunglasses
Patrick Dempsey was a Serengeti brand ambassador in 2007. Among the sunglasses he was endorsing, are the Serengeti Napoli aviator sunglasses (see advertisement on the left).
The Napoli was also promoted by Val Kilmer when he was the brand ambassador of Serengeti in 2005.
Serengeti Aviator Collection is designed for those who move, whether in the air or on the ground. Choose a gradient lens, preferred by pilots because they block harsh glare from the sun above, while providing a clear view of instruments below. Or select non-gradient lenses for uniform, top-to-bottom protection against sun and glare. No matter what you're piloting, Aviators with Serengeti's advanced photochromic lenses minimize fatigue and eye strain from the sun.
