The actor -- best known for his roles on"Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and"Men In Black" -- said in a new interview that he's not opposed to entering the world of public office.
"I think for now I’ll let that office get cleaned up a little bit and then I’ll consider that at some point down the line," Smith, 52, said on the"Pod Save America Podcast." The actor continued that he plans to"certainly do my part, whether it remains artistic or, or, at some point ventures into the political arena."and shared that he has been called the N-word"fix or six times."
"Fortunately for my psyche, I've never been called N-word by a smart person. So I grew up with the impression that racists and racism are stupid and they are easy to get around, I just had to be smarter," he shared.He said that once he started in Hollywood, he began to notice"a difference between ignorance and evil."
"Ignorance is more prevalent than blatant evil, so I've always been encouraged that the process of education and understanding could alleviate some of the more dangerous and difficult aspects of racism that have unfortunately been embedded in the very fibers of our country," he said.You can find Sasha Savitsky on Twitter

Fox411 Sweet Baby Jesus. No.
Fox411 So many people saying no not another celebrity look what happened last time. I disagree. Will is a good decent man and very intelligent. I think Smith 2028 sounds pretty good!
Fox411
Fox411 I mean how many time has he saved the world already lol. Seems on par for today’s couture
Fox411 Nah
Fox411
Fox411
Fox411
Fox411 Um, entanglements tend to turn people off. And I think we’ve had enough of Hollywood thinking they’re fit to run government.
Fox411 This is what we dnt need
Fox411 Oh please 🙄
Fox411 He really doesn’t want all the skeletons in his closet to come out...
Fox411 Please no.....
Fox411 At least he wasn't recorded saying he grabs women by the pussy, so there's that.
Fox411
Fox411 Perfect. Hopefully he brings his son along for entertainment
Fox411
Fox411 He would be a fantastic president!
Fox411 Will Smith is more useful to humanity outside politics. Politics is meaningless, the powerful always win, trying to change it from within is largely useless. He's already done more good for others in his life than most of Washington.
Fox411 It’s going to be his entanglement in politics
Fox411 No offense Will, you're a great all around guy, But, we've had enough 'Hollywood' in Washington.
Fox411
Fox411 I think we're good on celebrity politicians for the moment. Still trying to get over our previous disaster. Thanks though!
Fox411 Hancock For President, I pledge allegiance ✊
Fox411 He better not Politics are a dirty game they'll bring the August Alsina issue
Fox411 willsmith we love you, but we don't need another celebrity running for President. Look how well that worked out last time.
Fox411 I mean, you’re a solid dude. Love all your, uhh, most of your movies. You peaked at “I am legend”, so thank you for that amazing movie, but
Fox411 Please stop letting celebrities be politicians
Fox411 PPL will consider this tweet at some point - probably not any time soon.
Fox411 We’re good
Fox411 Do it
Fox411 Absolutely NOT!!!
Fox411 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Fox411 Great actor, but President? Absolutely not. Will smith and Dwayne Johnson are definitely not capable to that job. Great actors tho, should remain actors
Fox411 Hell no
Fox411 Why? What political background does he have? Celebrities need to back off.
Fox411 Smh for what ? Please tell me why it all turns into a popularity contest instead of someone in a position to lead ! Will is not a goofy like trump but no more celebrity favoritism
Fox411 Well, that will help America.....🙄🙄🙄
Fox411
Fox411 Please don't. We don't need his messed up family grabbing more attention
Fox411 Please don’t!
Fox411 No. 🤦♀️
Fox411 No thanks he supports racism aka Louis Farrakhan shame on him
Fox411 It’s become a popularity contest
Fox411 Don’t bother you can’t even run your own house . Cheating wife

Fox411 👍
Fox411 🤣🤣
Fox411 Proof that jamming the straw into the colostomy bag will get you contract after contract.
Fox411 No ty
Fox411 Step 1: Become president Step 2: Immediately drop Jada (she’s the LAST lady who need to be the the First 😂)
Fox411 Don’t
Fox411 Does anyone take him seriously? Celebrity can only carry a man so far. This man has no credibility. incredible marketing could foist this man on America as a leader of the people. Maybe his Hollywood special interest groups can pull it off for him in exchange for more cooning.
Fox411 Donald Trump didn’t win because he is a celebrity he won because of the policies he was fighting for. Every celebrity thinks they can win but in reality most would lose especially if they ran for president
Fox411 As long as he doesn’t kick off the campaign on July 4th weekend.
Fox411 lol omg why?
Fox411 ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC what say you!? Shut up and act!? willsmith Just curious.
Fox411 Hahahahhh😂 noo ooo STOP!🛑
Fox411 Will Smith was an ok actor. Seems like a nice guy. That being said, he can’t control his piece of crap wife or kids. How would he help in any political arena. Somebody really needs to help this man get away from his wife. That’s the real story.
Fox411 Uh no
Fox411 No...no he wont
Fox411 Can we please not have celebrities run for politics anymore!?
Fox411 Anything to get his name in the headlines
Fox411 🤦🏻♂️
Fox411 Yeah, because what this country needs is the Fresh Prince...FML 🤦🏼♀️
Fox411 No! Stick to acting....you don't have to do everything.
Fox411 Please no....
Fox411 Worry about your cheating wife, my God
Fox411 Nope.
Fox411 Didn’t he let his wife have boyfriends? Well that actually sounds right for down there he should run.
Fox411 😹
Fox411 As a Democrat no doubt. Campaign slogan will be Dependence Day.
