Will Smith has admitted that he's spoken to Barack Obama about playing the US President in a biopic.
The Suicide Squad star was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night to discuss his new movie but the first thing the host wanted to talk about was Smith's political ambitions.
Smith admitted that he once had ambitions to run or office.
“I definitely have had the itching. I have lots of views and ideas and sometimes I hear people say things on television and I just want to run against them. Just straight at ‘em and knock ‘em over. But I think it’s not where my greatest gifts are.”
He also conceded that watching Obama in the job for eight years also helped turn him off: "That’s a hard job.”
When Colbert asked would then do the next best thing and play Obama in the inevitable biopic, Smith said that he would and that he's even talked to POTUS about the prospect.
Obama agreed that Smith "Has the ears for it."
