Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) said Tuesday that he would want Will Smith to portray him if there were to be a biographical movie about his life.

"Will and I have talked about this because he has the ears!" the Illinois senator said in an interview slated to air Tuesday and Wednesday.

In the interview the Democratic presidential candidate had with Entertainment Tonight, Obama said his top films are three Oscar winners "The Godfather," "The Godfather: Part II" and "Lawrence of Arabia."

Obama says his favorite actors are Jimmy Stewart, Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon and Angela Bassett.
