Will Smith as AliThe Z Review found this great shot of Will Smith from the movie that appeared in Heat magazine. I never doubted Smith's ability to play this part but always thought he was far too thin for the role. Clearly his trainer is doing a phenomenal job of getting him bulked up for the role. He actually looks a lot like Ali in this shot. That's Mario Van Peebles on the left in case you're wondering.

Thanks to 'Gary.'
