Did you know that in Ali... #shorts

Did you know that in the movie Ali (2001), Will Smith initially turned down the role of Muhammad Ali? He changed his mind after Ali himself called and told him he was the only one good-looking enough to play him.

If you've seen Ali's interview you know he would say that 100%😂 love him

[Abzz]

True he was the only one who could play Muhammad Ali no one else will play him better than will smith

[chrislair]

I have a feeling the phone call didn't quite sound like that

[mania-jdmy]

Sounds like a story Will Smith would tell about himself 😭😭😭

[ki-yo-gi]

Watching a short of Chris Rock talking about Smith, just toscroll down and see this is gold

[nornbnv]

Honestly they picked the right guy he’s got a mean right hook as we all know from the Grammys lol

[Miyamo-vo]

that's absolutely hilarious because I saw a clip of Muhammad ali saying to will smith "You're too ugly to play me" and Will smith responded "Man, I'm too pretty too play you"

[SimpsonVilleD]

Will Smith as Muhammad Ali is just crazyyyy. So, you're telling me the main cast of Men in Black also cast as a great boxer with an insane speed and accuracy💀

[HMShakib-ls]

Can we all agree this creator deserves more recognition

[PaulMichaelLevesque]

Ali was The Handsome Titan.. RIP Legend

[da-chosan-wan]

it sucks bc i wanna remember will smith for great roles like this, bad boys, i am legend, etc but that slap on chirs rock and “entanglement” shit with his wife is hard to get out my mind😂

Will keep it up for your man, who knows what you want? 💝

[Ramen-fn]

Only if Ali knew he was at those Diddy parties he wouldn’t have called

[S.A.C.K.TVVIJAYA]

Will is not only handsome to play Ali, he is the most talented actor to do justice to that character.

And in the song Gettin' Jiggy Wit' IT, Will Smith said 🎵No love for the haters the haters. Mad cause I got floor seats at the Lakers. See me on the 50 yard line with the Raiders. Man, "ALI told me I'M the greatest 🎵

[agip]

When Ali met Halle Berry, he told her “I didn’t think I’d ever meet anybody prettier than me.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[itsmedaley]

Carl Weathers can play Ali also… Apollo Creed was based on Ali and he played him SO PERFECTLY

[BundaDestroyer]

Muhammed Ali was a bit overconfident and talky but he was one hell of s funny guy and a legend

[Anthony-grf]

Not only good looking but one of the Best talents. Jamie Foxx would have done a uniquely Splendid job. Will Smith shown great imitating and acting skills - 5 Stars! Oscar Performance!!
