Everyone likes Will Smith. Christ, we can't think of anyone who doesn't love this not so fresh-faced rascal.
Since growing up, Will Smith has taken on a variety of film roles. In Men In Black he saved the world from aliens. Likewise, Independence Day saw him repeat the same heroic feat. Come to think of it, didn't the same thing kind of happen in I Am Legend?
Taking a step back from this extra terrestrial creature stuff, Will wants to make an appearance on Eastenders. Quite likely to save Albert Square from Pat Butcher.
Seeing Will Smith materialise on EastEnders would be like seeing Lily Savage make an appearance on Lost. On paper it just simply wouldn't work. However, after much tinkering around with the script, even the most traditional of scenes could be twisted to make us, the slobby viewer, believe it's totally normal. Stranger stuff has happened however. Loose Women has amazingly survived ten years on our screens despite being utterly shit.
If the scriptwriters of EastEnders happen to be reading this, then we?d like to take you through some of the ideas that we’ve bashed out. Using our brief knowledge of the BBC flagship soap, we think that a popular Hollywood actor could boost ratings. Only by a bit, mind.
1 ? Will Smith takes over The Queen Vic. Instead of it being the grotty pub we know and love, that crazy American takes full ownership and converts it in to a bar. Say bye-bye to draft beers and pork scratchings. Instead, everything comes with packs of pretzels and beef jerky to wash your bottle of Bud Light down with. Don't think of causing any fights in Will?s new bar. Trouble won't be sorted out with the usual high-pitched shrieks. Instead, he?ll use the gun behind the bar.
2 ? The park in EastEnders is pretty gash at the minute. There's a bench in remembrance of Arthur Fowler and that's about it. Apart from a walkway, some grass and a scattering of dog poo. Using his masters degree of gardening from Stanford University, Will aims to lead a community project in to making a ghetto out of the ghetto. Rival gangs can have their own patch of turf to use residents as a target range.
3 ? Charlie Slater has a black cab which he never seems to use any more. Hooking up with his hip-hop homeboy Tim Westwood, Will takes away the keys and pimps up the vehicle. A fat sound system here and some 50-inch tyres will make any motorists want to bow down and kiss the exhaust pipe. And make Albert Square a hotspot for boy racers.
So what draws Will Smith to EastEnders? Digitalspy reports:
?It was so real and gritty. American soaps are all about the beautiful people and being cheesy. This soap had everything. There was fighting, people sleeping around – it had it all going on! I’m a bit busy but when things quieten down I’d love to do a cameo. I could make a big entrance in the pub, as you guys call it, and be like, ‘Hey, girl let’s take this outside?.?
Calling Phil Mitchell a girl? Possibly not the wisest of choices there Will. Before you could harp on about America, the goons will have moved in and you\’ll be forced to eat the crap that Ian Beale makes from the caf?.
And that thing you call an acting career would probably die. we're just saying.
