Barack Obama wants big-eared Will Smith to portray him in movie
February 29th, 2008 by Scott Marks
Who’s sane?
If a movie is ever made about his life in politics, Barry Obama wants Will Smith to star because they both have enormous ears.
Yahoo News quotes the democratic front runner as saying, “”Will Smith and I have talked about this, because he has the ears. He’s better looking than me, but we both have those (ears).”
This “controversy” was sparked by a Zogby/Svedka poll that found 33 per cent of voters would choose Denzel Washington to play Obama, followed by Smith in second place.
Ah, if only David Lean was alive and black. Check out these ashtray-sized listening devices:
Smith, who is currently working on a live-action remake of Dumbo could not be reached for comment.
P. S. to Barry Obama: Get the job first and then worry about a big screen adaptation.
