Denzel Washington To Portray Barack Obama Denzel Washington |
Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington has reportedly grabbed the role of US President Barack Obama in a new movie.
The 54-year-old has long voiced his interest in portraying Obama, but feared he would be too old for the role by the time a picture of the politician's life was eventually produced.
Washington has confirmed that he is set to portray the president as the ultimate endorsement for his starring role.
"It was at the president's suggestion. The only problem is he has bigger ears than me," said Washington.
