Will Smith says he’s the ‘natural choice’ to play Obama

LONDON — Will Smith is convinced he is the “natural choice” to portray President Obama onscreen.

“It’s about the ears, that’s the thing,” Smith said in a BBC interview Monday, when asked about rumors he could play the Commander-in-Chief someday in a biopic.

“People see the ears and Barack and I both have the ears, so I’m the most natural choice,” Smith continued.

“I told [Obama] jokingly, ‘It’s definitely something I would consider, you just have to write the ending.’ So he’s working on the ending right now,” the Oscar-nominee added.

Smith, 43, is currently in Europe promoting “Men in Black 3.” The film, also starring Tommy Lee Jones, hits US theaters May 25.
