Will Smith perfect to play me because he too has big ears: Barack Obama

Washington, Feb 28 : U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama has singled out Will Smith as his choice to portray him in a biopic on his life, because both of them share one striking physical trait - big ears.

The US senator strongly believes that the I Am Legend star would be the perfect Hollywood choice to portray him if a movie is ever made about his life.

Obama chose Smith despite a new Zogby/Svedka poll that found 33 per cent of voters would choose Denzel Washington to play the Democrat senator onscreen, followed by Smith in second place.

"Will Smith and I have talked about this, because he has the ears," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

"He's better looking than me, but we both have those (ears)," he added.
