Hollywood actor Will Smith is seriously considering a move into politics, just a year after the star ruled out a career change.

The 'Independence Day' star previously mulled over life as a politician, but decided 'it's a whole lot more fun to be a movie star', reports contactmusic.com.

Smith's wife Jada Pinkett has revealed her partner is reconsidering a move from Hollywood to Washington.

'Will is thinking about going into politics. He once said he could imagine becoming a US president. He wasn't joking, he was quite serious about it,' said Pinkett.
