Will Smith once played a character who saved the world in Independent Day. Now he might try to conquer the United States. Smith has brought up running for office before, however reporters and fans thought he was joking around.

“Will is thinking about going into politics. He once said he could imagine becoming a US president. He wasn’t joking, he was quite serious about it,” said Will Smiths wife, Jada Pickett.

Before when Will Smith mentioned becoming involved in politics he said that he had thought about it before but thought that being a movie star would be more fun. A short year after Obama has been in office Smith is highly considering becoming involved and some day running for president himself.

Pickett has stated that she doesn’t think the “first lady” name suits her and doesn’t know what to do or how she would deal with her husband being in politics.

Smith’s decision isn’t final and no one knows if he’s going to enter politics soon or stake it out a couple more years with his movie star life. Either way, he has loyal fans that are going to support whichever decision he makes, whether it’s politics or Hollywood.
