Will Smith said one presidential front-runner might force him to run for office.

During an interview with CBS on Sunday, the 47-year-old actor said he’s frustrated by the choice of candidates during this election cycle.

“If people keep saying all the crazy kinds of stuff they’ve been saying on the news lately about walls and Muslims, they’re going to force me into the political arena,” Smith said.

“I mean, I gotta be the president.” (RELATED: Rosie O’Donnell: Trump’s Campaign Is A Nightmare)
