Will Smith -- I'm No Barack!

Posted Feb 6th 2007 4:00PM by TMZ Staff

Will Smith spoke today at the Motion Picture Association of America in Washington D.C. Mr. Smith told the crowd a hilarious story.
Barack Obama and Will Smith
It happened this morning on his way to the event. An older couple approached Smith and said, "We love what you're doing. You're so great for the country!" In true Hollywood fashion, Smith said, "Thank you!"

As the star walked away, the old man said, "And we'll be sure to vote for you."

Come to think of it, Will and Barack have never been seen together. Coincidence?

4. First I have to say I totally disagree with Smiley. Obama and Will are EQUALLY SEXY. I salivate at the thought of rubbing up against either of them. (sorry wives it's just a fantasy)

I searched and searched and saw no resemblence whatsoever. I wanted to say similar color, but nope, it's not. Just when I started to think all black people really do look the same to some people, I found it. It's the ears. They both have big ears. Yeah that's it.

5. I don't think they look alike at all. If Obama wins the nom, he's got my vote!

6. I don't think they look alike unless TMZ is trying to imply that all African Americans look alike, don't even go there!!! Obama is gonna make a great President unlike this RACIST cracker we got now, remember Katrina? I want to encourage all my brothers and sisters to support Obama for President, get out the vote! We need to take power from the RACIST crackers and right the wrongs. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!!!

7. I guess we still all look alike, especially to those born during reconstruction.

8. Barack Obama looks a lot like Kristoff St. John ("Neil Hastings") from "The Young and the Restless". Check that separated-at-birth!

11. I was at the event where Will Smith made the remarks. He indicated that a speechwriter had given him that anecdote to use as the opening of his speech, which he did.. Smith entered the building trough a back entrance. Do you really think that on his way in he met a couple who gave him this great anecdote? He ended with a quote from Obama as well.
