Ale Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hollywood superstar Will Smith has revealed he has his eye on the greatest role of his life – to become President of the United States. And the 39-year-old Men In Black star, regarded as one of the most powerful men in Hollywood, said his priorities in office would be to reform American healthcare and tackle homelessness. In an interview with The Mail on Sunday's Live magazine to promote his latest film I Am Legend – where he plays a survivor of a man-made plague – he said: 'I'm going to be President of the United States. "I always wanted to be the first black president but Barack Obama (a black presidential hopeful) stole my idea. That's OK with me. Barack can go first and then I'll take my turn." The actor, a Democrat, revealed he had already decided which social issues he would address if he came to power. He said: "Once I'm in, I'll start changing a few things that urgently need changing. "The basis of human sanity is physical survival, right? So I'd start with universal healthcare and shelter. I can't see that happening under Bush. Too many bad things have happened under his presidency. "I don't believe he is an evil man, I just think he has an unevolved perspective. It's a good thing he's served his time. Now it's time for Barack Obama." Smith is a big supporter of Obama's bid for the Democrat nomination for the 2008 election. He has reportedly contributed to the campaign and made a video with other Hollywood stars supporting it. The actor has also expressed a desire to play the Illinois senator in a film of his life. Smith, a friend of David Beckham, has three children – Trey, from his first marriage to Sheree Zampino, and two more from his 1997 marriage to actress Jada Pinkett. The couple's eldest Jaden, nine, co-starred with him in The Pursuit Of Happyness for which Smith was nominated for an Oscar for best actor. He was also nominated for the 2001 film Ali and has sold millions of records as a rap and hip-hop artist. He is thought to be worth £250million. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/showbiz/arti...ates/article.do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bart5 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) Its kinda weird for me to see Will like he has been lately. When I think of him, I want to think of FPOBA and the guy spitting "Scratch it, jazzy...scratch it!" from Hes the DJ, I'm the Rapper track. He just seems so different to me now that he is older and past all that. He doesn't seem like an emcee anymore to me for some reason, but more of an actor who has different goals. I know deep down Will is the same person and all, but at the same time things like this make me wonder why he is so different. I know that it has been posted that he is going on tour with Jeff next year, but it still seems like that might not happen or something. Its not that I don't want Will to run for president, but its just that I don't want to see him as the president. I don't want to see him caught up in politics, and all that. He would probably make a great president for sure, but I would rather see him behind a pop filter and a mic ya know what I'm sayin? BTW - Jada does look amazing in that picture...

Jazzy Julie Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I have the magazine, i'll scan it in later or 2moro, its a big bigger. They also had a small piece in the paper about his aim to be president, says kinda the same thing but they are making a big deal out of it. Wouldnt it be hilarious if in 20 years we were all still here and Will was president, we would have to talk about politics instead of rap.
