Kanye West has already announced his intentions to run for President in 2020, but now Will Smith revealed that he’s considering getting into politics and it could happen soon during his first podcast interview.
“As I look at the political landscape, I think there might be a future out there for me. They might need me out there,” Will told The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast. “This is the first year that I’ve been incensed to a level that I can't sleep. So I’m feeling at some point in the near future, I will have to lend my voice to the conversation in a somewhat different way.”
Will didn’t specify what about the current political landscape has him so angry. But the 47-year-old actor did note that he likes to keep growing. “I’m a climber. If I see a mountain, I have to climb it. I’m not a camper. I don’t like hanging in one place too long,” he said. “I think at this point, I’m elevating my ability to be useful in the world. I think that’s what my grandmother always hoped, that I would make myself useful to people in this lifetime.”
