Is Barack Obama’s wife Michelle too hot for Hollywood? That is what the Democratic presidential candidate said on Monday.

At a question-and-answer session sponsored in front of a college-age audience in Cedar Rapids, a student asked Obama what a hypothetical movie about his life should be called and who would play the lead characters.

Obama had no problem coming up with a title: “The Audacity of Hope,” named after his 2006 book.

But the casting proved a little trickier.

“Will Smith’s a possibility because his ears match mine,” the jug-eared candidate said, drawing a chuckle from the crowd.

“In terms of my wife, there’s no one that good looking, so she’ll have to play herself.”
