Prince would have been 58-years-old today.

To celebrate the late music icon's birthday, W magazine enlisted some of Hollywood's biggest stars to pay homage to the pop star with dramatic readings of a few of his most memorable tracks.

And in a third video, each of the A-list participants share their fondest memories of Prince. "I luckily, luckily saw him a couple times," the "Captain America" star recalls. "One time I met him. We went to a show in LA, a small show, and afterwards I got to go backstage and you know talk to him for a little bit. He was just the nicest guy in the world. Just the nicest guy in the world, really sweet, really soft-spoken just kind. Had no air of pretentiousness about him or anything like that. You just walk away like, 'Man, Prince is awesome.'"

It's great to see that Hollywood is keeping the "Kiss" singer's legacy alive! What do you think about the actors' tributes? Sound off below and check out the gallery above to see more photos of the musician through the years.
