Will Smith has revealed that he is open to a political career.
The 52-year-old actor, who has joked about his involvement in politics in the past, would absolutely “consider” running for office in the future, although he’s not sure whether his role should remain “artistic.”
Speaking to Jon Favreau on Crooked Media’s ‘Pod Save America’ podcast, he said: “I think for now I’ll let that office clean up a bit and then consider it sometime.
“I don’t know, it’s like, I absolutely have an opinion, I’m optimistic, I’m hopeful, I believe in understanding between people and I believe in the possibility of harmony …
“So, I will certainly do my part, whether I remain artistic or, at some point, venture into the political arena.”
Meanwhile, his comments come after fellow Hollywood star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson admitted he’s open to the idea of running for president of the United States.

Last month, the 48-year-old actor said: “I would consider a presidential race in the future if that’s what the people want.
“Actually, I mean it, and I’m not flippant in any way with my answer. That would depend on the people… So I would wait and listen ”.
Dwayne previously suggested that he could challenge Donald Trump for the US presidency in 2020.
And the action star confessed to being impressed by the support he received from fans.
He reflected: “I was really impressed. And it’s so flattering. And I think you have to ask yourself why. I think it’s because, you know, a lot of people want to see different leadership today. sorry, not different, but better leadership today, right? “
The wrestler-turned-actor saw a wave of support coming his way after he suggested that he would like to become president of the United States one day.
When asked what personal qualities made him suitable for the role, the ‘Baywatch’ star, who is one of the most profitable actors in Hollywood, replied: “I think more serene, less noise.
“And I also think that over the years I’ve become a guy that a lot of people identify with: getting up early in the morning at a ridiculous time, going to work and spending time with the troops, taking care of my family.
“I love taking care of people. And I think that kind of thing really resonates with people, especially today. “
