Actor Will Smith teased the idea of running for political office one day during an interview on "Pod Save America."
On the episode released Monday, Smith joined hosts Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Dan Pfeiffer and Tommy Vietor to promote his new Netflix docuseries "Amend: The Fight for America," but he also discussed his personal interest in politics.
The podcast is hosted by a group of former aides to former President Barack Obama.
The 52-year-old actor emphasized that he "absolutely" has an opinion when it comes to activism, systemic racism and ideas for the country's future. When asked whether he would ever consider running for political office himself, the actor wasn't afraid to voice his intentions.
"I will certainly do my part, whether it remain artistic or at some point venture into the political arena," said Smith.
As to the timing, he was unsure, saying, "For now, let that office get cleaned up a little bit. I'll consider it at some point down the line."

Well, he has literally done (almost) everything else in the world someone can do, might as well tell people how to live their lives.
People just throw these names out there like everybody knows who they are. It's not like they're John Waynes or Paul Newmans.
The pimp from Beverly Hills
If he’s serious about getting involved in politics, he needs to retire from acting (at least for the time being like Arnold Schwarzenegger did).
Most of the people who play pretend for big money are not serious people and know nothing.
They should stop trying to tell us how to live.
He is a liberal racist
Because we need a bisexual swinger for pres.
Anytime someone uses the word ‘activism’, it means they are anti constitutional, anti free speech, anti rule of law intolerant egotistical uneducated poison.
Oh, he is that Fresh Scientology Prince from Bel Air that seems to be a Hindu now.
He was the lead in that movie “Independence Day”.
He started on a TV sitcom as a black ‘aspiring rapper’ who moves in with his rich relatives. “Fresh Prince of Bel Air’
He has two of the most annoying, know it all, sanctimonious kids in the world.
Do it, Willard. Show us how easy it is to mount a campaign and win an election. Oh, and then show us how easy it is to do the job, once elected.
Stands no chance
And his crazy, crazy kids.
“For now, let that office get cleaned up a little bit.” -— Just has to put a dig in there at Trump. He has a weird family.
To speak out FOR tax hikes or against them???

He’s the black Tom Hanks
Actually, I'm lying. I still have no idea who you are talking about.
But, Independence Day does ring a bell. Is that the one where Tommy Lee Jones plays a hot shot pilot evading bounty hunters as he gallavants from galaxy to galaxy picking up historical figures for his high school history class Senior project and Will Smith plays a skittish but loveable extra-terrestrial?
Just wipe it on the grass, Will, and carry on as if nothing happened.
Yes.
