Mon 16th Jun, 2025

Hollywood star Will Smith has expressed interest in taking on the role of former U.S. President Barack Obama in an upcoming film project. The actor, known for his transformative performances, including portraying Muhammad Ali and the father of tennis champions Serena and Venus Williams, shared his enthusiasm for the potential role in a recent interview.

While Smith is keen on the idea, he is currently focused on his revitalized music career. He recently released a new hip-hop album titled Based on a True Story, and is currently on a European tour, which includes performances in several cities, including Germany.

Smith, who made history as the first rapper to win a Grammy Award in 1989 alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff, aims to reintroduce himself to his fans as a musician. He reflected on his past successes in music, highlighting hits like "Men in Black," "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It," "Miami," and "Wild Wild West," and is excited about his upcoming concerts across Europe.

During his tour, Smith plans to incorporate elements from his iconic role in the television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He revealed that he is working on a stage performance that will feature a memorable dance scene from the show, alongside his former co-star Tatyana Ali. This performance will include a modern twist, as they dance to the song "Anxiety" by Doechii, who is expected to join them on stage.

Additionally, Smith has expressed interest in collaborating with Doechii on new music. Their discussions have already included the exchange of tracks, although they have yet to finalize a specific song for release. The potential collaboration marks an exciting opportunity for both artists.

As Smith continues to balance his career in music with potential acting roles, fans eagerly await announcements regarding both his film projects and upcoming performances.
