Who should play Obama in the inevitable Obama biopic?

[0utKast]

My vote goes to Cuba Gooding Jnr as he looks rather similar to Obama, albeit darker skinned.



Wrestler turned actor Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson almost looks the spitting image of Obama, but I seriously doubt he could ever pull it off.

I thought Will Smith was already contracted for one?

Edit: no, he's staked a claim. I just remember reading a headline, obviously:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...Obama-as-US-President-in-Hollywood-movie.html

But I think Will Smith would be my choice, anyway, if an obvious one.

Well it is Hollywood after all. They would do anything to make a buck.

However, my vote goes to......

Will Smith

or

Denzel Washington

Sidney Poitier to play George Obama, his father.

Dwayne Johnson LOL.

Obama did say if there was ever a film made of such he would like Will Smith to play him.

 

[oh uhm gee]

Will Smith already has that gig

Andy Peters is up for it if Smith is ill.

OBV will smith, he really looks like him!

 

[Jelli B]

Will Smith.

I would suggest everyone does "forget" to see Seven PounRAB. It's rubbish.

Legend of Bagger Vance, Enemy of the State and Hancock are all decent enough.

 

[Schmitty]

LOL, is the Rock's name really Dwayne???

 

[Maariya]

It has to be Wesley Snipes.

To hear him utter the line 'Always bet on black' during a presidential biopic would be awesome.

 

[TV Casualty]

Leonardo DiCaprio
Maybe Judi dench

 

[Manny]

Hasn't Morgan Freeman done it enough times in the past already?

 

[Jenr]

Why does Hollywood have to use the same five black actors all the time?!



Will Smith doesn't look anything like Obama and most of his films are poo anyway.


Might as well get Samuel L Jackson to do it!

I just saw his pic on the BBC website and couldn't believe how much he looks like the President. I don't know if thats a good thing, some nutter may think it is Obama.
