Will Smith's Long Lasting Marriage

On Monday, Will Smith came onto The Ellen DeGeneres Show to speak about his marriage with Jada Pinkett-Smith.

According to People.com, love and marriage are the themes on the talk show recently, since DeGeneres has interviewed the likes of John McCain and Jenna (Bush) Hager about nuptials.

The Smiths have been married for about ten years. According to Ellen, "It's like dog years when you're married [in L.A.]. That's like 50 years, right?"

What is the secret to such a lasting romance in Hollywood?

"We're like, listen, we're going to be together one way or the other so we might as well try to be happy," the I Am Legend star said.

"What I found is divorce just can't be an option," he elaborated. "It's really that simple. And I think that's the problem with L.A. - there are so many options. So a huge part of the success for [Jada] and I is that we just removed the other options."

People.com wrote that the talk show host then suggested that Smith run for office and join Barack Obama as "his running mate."

"I do think about [running for office] sometimes," Smith admitted. "Right up until that Monday after the movie opens and I have a 100-percent approval rating. No politician is ever going to have that!"
