Apparently, Kanye West inspired quite a few people when he declared a few months ago, that he would run for the United States Presidency in 2020.
One of them is multi-talented star, Will Smith, who has said he might be ready to embark on a career in politics.
“As I look at the political landscape, I think that there might be a future out there for me,” Smith told The Hollywood Reporter on its “Awards Chatter” podcast series.
“They might need me out there,” he added.
Smith said in the interview he always felt the need to contribute positively to the environment around him which he is currently doing through his acting and music career.
However he stated that he believes he hasn’t done enough and therefore he needs to take it a step further.
He said: “I’m a climber, so 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. So I think, at this point, I’m elevating my ability to be useful in the world.”
“I think that that’s what my grandmother always hoped, that I would make myself useful to people in this lifetime.”
“You know, as I look at the political landscape, I think that there might be a future out there for me. They might need me out there. This is the first year that I’ve been incensed to a level that I can’t sleep, you know? So I’m feeling that at some point, in the near future, I will have to lend my voice to the conversation in a somewhat different way.”
Who knows? Will Smith might just be Kanye West’s competition come 2020.
