Can Will Smith Play President Barack Obama?

Famous American actor Will Smith and star of Men in Black III told BBC's Susanna Reid that playing Barack Obama "is "definitely something I would consider." He also revealed the hilarious reason he feels he's "the most natural choice" to play the president…
"It's about the ears! That's the thing. You know, people see the ears, and Barack and I both have the ears," he said, exaggeratedly pulling one ear out to the side. "So I'm the most natural choice."

President Barack Obama once said that popular African-American actor Will Smith would be the best actor to play him in a movie. "Will and I have talked about this because he has the ears!" President Obama said sometime in the spring of 2008 before he won the presidential nomination. But do you think Will Smith and Barack Obama will pass for brothers at any gathering?
Will Smith is an exceptional actor and was very good in his outstanding portrayal of the greatest boxing legend of all time Muhammad Ali in the 2001 biographical film Ali directed by Michael Mann and he was equally good as Chris Gardner the on-and-off-homeless salesman-turned stockbroker in the 2006 biopic film The Pursuit of Happyness directed by Gabriele Muccino, and he deserved the Best Actor Oscar nominations for the two different roles.
Playing the lives of great personalities in biopic movies is not for every actor. Only exceptionally gifted actors can play such challenging roles and I can recall the following examples .

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

Image
This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more.

Violence in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million with an almost equal split between the Christian south and the Muslim north is affecting public safety and national security. Nothing appears to be stopping the inflammable and untamed-able torment, fear and worry across the country. There appears to be a legitimate state of distress nationally, and the cause of the state of distress is growing d...
