Jada Pinkett Smith says her husband Will Smith is a perfect choice for the role of Genie as the actor is always creating magic.
The "Girls Trip" star, 45, gushed about her partner of over two decades on the "Tonight Show" and told host Jimmy Fallon why the role of Genie was a great fit for Will, reported People magazine.
"You know what, this is perfect for you because you're always creating magic," she recalled telling her husband, who was in early talks to headline Disney's live-action "Aladdin" since April.
On Saturday, Walt Disney Studios production president Sean Bailey confirmed at the D23 Expo that "the amazing Genie will be played by the equally amazing Will Smith."
Guy Ritchie is directing the film with newcomers Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott playing Aladdin and Jasmine, respectively.
