Will Smith Wouldn't Mind Starring in an Obama Biopic

Aliens blew up the White House during his movie "Independence Day," now Will Smith wants to rebuild the set and move in.

The A-list actor recently told the BBC that playing President Barack Obama in a movie is "definitely something I would consider."

He's even discussed the possibility with the President, he said.

"We talked about it a few months ago," Smith, 43, told the BBC. "I told him, joking? you just have to write the ending. So, he's working on the ending right now."

Smith said he's the natural choice because he and the POTUS share a critical attribute.

"It's about the ears. That's the thing," he said, tugging at his right earlobe with mock formality. "You know, people see the ears, and Barack and I both have the ears."

Smith is traveling the globe promoting his new movie "Men in Black 3" and recently told the Daily News he's excited about his return to the big screen after a three-year hiatus.

He said he still loves a sci-fi blockbuster, but now he's also concerned about whether or not his projects have a purpose.

"For the most part, I'm just looking for material that resonates," he said at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills.

"You know, the greatest experience I've ever had in a movie theater was ?Star Wars.? It shaped how I look at the world. My imagination was so small before I went in that movie theater, and there was an explosion I had. I just couldn't figure out how someone came up with that. And then how could they make me feel like that watching it," he explained.

"There's nothing more valuable to me than how people feel in a movie theater," he said. "For me... the maximum amount of people that can have an experience that would give them some little germ of something to think about or talk about is all that's important to me in making movies."

He called the subtle career shift an "adjustment."

"There has to be an idea that has to be some message or some statement for me. With 'Men in Black 3,' we connected to the destructive nature of secrets. And that idea... that's what we're displaying ? and then how a relationship can get repaired and go to another level through the exposure of a secret."
