Will Smith To Play Barack Obama In Film?

June 25th, 2008 | Author: Andres Tardio

If a movie is to be made on Barack Obama, who would play the presidential hopeful? Well, many have speculated that Will Smith may be the best choice. One person who echoes the sentiment is actually Barack Obama himself. Now, another person agrees, fueling rumors of a potential movie in the works.

"It's right here," Smith told MTV, pointing at his ears. "That's the key. That's the key. America loves ears, you know? Mickey Mouse started it; Goofy and Dumbo followed behind. And America just loves the ears."

When would the movie start rolling?

"As soon as he writes the end of the story," he noted.

Later, The Fresh Prince was asked if he'd make a run as a politician.

"Naw, I ... you know, I enjoy being in the movie-star position. Movie stars tend to have a little bit higher approval rating than politicians."

Hancock, Will's latest film is set to hit theatres July 2, 2008, just in time for the 4th of July holiday.
