We all know the story of President Barack Obama will come to the big screen eventually -- I'm surprised Steven Spielberg hasn't bought the rights for it yet!  However, Denzel Washington, who brought the life of Malcolm X to the movies, says he will not play President Barack Obama.  Here is why according to The Insider:\r
"When Obama's story is ready to be told, I'll be too old to do it."\r
He added: "And if it were made now, he has too much to do to have me asking for tips on how to play him."\r
Too old? If Diana Ross could play a 16 year old in The Wiz when she was 33 then Denzel could be Obama. Then, I realized the Oscar winner is 54 years old - doesn't it seem like Denzel is still 40?  The brother is aging well!\r
Denzel Washington is starring in The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, which is in theatres Friday, June 12th.  Come back here on the 12th for a review!\r
Regardless of his age, do you think Washington could tackle the Obama story?
