He’s a bit on the skinny side. Does he have any water buffalo daughters?

Tell the critics to put a (burnt) cork in it.

Wow. There may yet be some weird, campy, back-handed entertainment value in a biopic where everyone is a perfect likeness for their role model but can’t act their way out of a paper bag.

I hope they keep it up.

If Don Rickles can be Chief Bald Eagle, Will Smith can be Mr. Williams

Did a single conservative utter this criticism at Will Smith or any black actor?

Who are the libtard idiots anally hyperfixated on peoples’ skin color?

It’s not us. The real racists never left the democrat party. The party of liberals, the ‘colorblind society’ folks that never stop fixating on what people look like or what gender bits they have.

Stacy abrams was considered for the part of Serena but she was too thin.

BWAHAHA...

Hahahaha... hahahaha... hahahaha..

This is so stupid!

Just ask him to “darken up”....via makeup.
(I’m kidding...) This is too stupid to take seriously.

He played Les Brown...he can do whatever he wants to.

Remember Tom Cruise actually played a 5’6 fighter pilot.

LOLLOLLOL...
