During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama famously stated that he would prefer Will Smith to play him on the big screen should a movie ever be made about his life.
Speaking at the premiere of his new film “Seven Pounds” at the Empire, Leicester Square, in London, Smith said he’s ready and willing to suit up as the president at a moment’s notice.
“If I am ordered by my commander in chief to star in a film about him, I will do my duty as an American,” he told the Telegraph newspaper.
Smith, however, said he had no desire to move into the White House for real.
“If we were in the White House I don’t know if that would exactly be a good thing. The Obamas are much more prepared to be in the White House than the Smiths,” he said.
“It’s a whole lot more fun to be a movie star. That’s a difficult job being President with a whole lot of lives on the line with every decision you make. In my job I just bring joy. I don’t bring bad news. I think I’ll stay in my position for quite some time.”
