Entertainment Tonight took a break from stalking Britney Spears to do an exclusive interview with Barack Obama that aired last night.

The Illinois senator chewed the fat with Jann Carl, and they talked about Michelle (”she’s a stylish person, and she’s tall and elegant”), his fave movies (The Godfather, Lawrence of Arabia), and he even picked out the actor that he would want to play him in a biopic: Will Smith.

‘‘Will and I have talked about this; because he has the ears, he might have an inside track on the role,’’ Obama explained. “He’s better looking than me, but we both have those,” he said, as he tugged on one of his ears with his index finger.

And to play Michelle? “Oh, nobody’s that beautiful — she’d have to play herself,” Obama said without hesitating.” Carl responded, shaking her head: “You are good; you are really good.”

A portion of the interview is below.

UPDATE: Obama continues his celebrity news tour this week with a photo spread and interview in US Weekly in which he describes some of his best “Just Like US” moments. Highlights:

US Weekly: So, boxers or briefs? Bill Clinton said he wore boxers in a 1992 interview with MTV.

Barack Obama: I don’t answer those humiliating questions. But whichever one it is, I look good in ‘em!

US: Do your daughters Sasha and Malia ever ask about Britney Spears?

BO: Actually, yeah. But they’re very sensible. They’re pretty down on Britney and Paris and all of that. They think that’s very “yuck.”
