8 Celebrities Who’ve Teased Running for Office (and 2 Who Did) (5 of 6)

George Clooney — President of the United States

Although Clooney is among the most high-profile fundraisers and political voices in the Democratic Party, he has repeatedly nixed the idea that he should run for Commander-in-Chief. He feels that he’d be too old for the job and expressed his belief that the country needs younger voices with fresh ideas to lead the future.

Will Smith — President of the United States

For years Smith floated the idea of a political career, even noting that if Ronald Reagan could do it, why not him? He hasn’t completely closed the door forever, but in the aftermath of smacking the everliving crap out of Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, his focus has been on trying to revive his movie and music careers. Yeah, he probably isn’t going to be winning elections anytime soon.
