Barack Obama Wants Will Smith To Play Him In A Biopic: “He Told Me I Had the Ears for the Role”

In the first episode of Carpool Karaoke: The Series on Apple Music, Will Smith and James Corden are riding and flying around singing, dancing, and marching.

 

 

While talking, Smith talked about talking being asked several times to play former president Barack Obama on the big screen. He said he entertained the idea, but it was Obama’s blessing that really sealed the deal.

“I talked to Barack about it,” Smith said. “He told me that he felt confident that I had the ears for the role.”

Although Smith didn’t give anymore details about a possible upcoming biopic, there have only been two biopics about Obama’s life. The feature film, “Southside With You,” starring Parker Sawyers as Barack and Tika Sumpter as Michelle Robinson Obama. Also, the Netflix original movie “Barry, which depicts a 20-year-old Obama’s college life at Columbia University in 1981. Actor Devon Terrell, played the role of “Barry.”
