Will Smith on why he could play Barack Obama in a movie

Though, one of those is more likely to happen than the other, he tells Stephen Colbert.

During a Tuesday night appearance on "The Late Show," the "Suicide Squad" star told Colbert he's talked with president Barack Obama "a couple of times" about possibly playing him in a movie.

"He said that one thing is for sure: I have the ears to play him," Smith joked.

Smith admitted entering the political arena in real life has crossed his mind before, but says he doesn't think politics is "where my greatest gifts are."

Will Smith has zero interest in a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reboot

"I don't think ever, like pretty close to when hell freezes over," Smith said about possibly rebooting his classic sitcom while promoting Suicide Squad with co-star Margot Robbie. "Like we're going to leave that one alone."

"My wife's not going. It would be awkward for me to show up with Charlize (Theron)," said Smith on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Thursday. "We've discussed it, but at this current time, we're uncomfortable to stand there and say this is OK."

Smith, who some thought might be nominated for his performance in the football drama "Concussion," said his decision was "deeply not about me."
