The Fresh Prince of … D.C.??
Vernon Davis hopes that’s one of his nicknames in the near future … ’cause the Redskins star tells TMZ Sports once his football days are done — he wants to be the next Will Smith!!!
“Anything he touches is golden, and that’s what I’d like to model myself after.”
Davis has been acting as a side gig for a while — he’s had parts in “The League” and “Baywatch” in the past — and just landed his biggest role yet on “Hell on the Border” … starring Frank Grillo and Ron Perlman.
But, Vernon says his passion for acting goes deeper than cameos … he wants to be a legit Hollywood star after his football career is over!!!
In fact … Davis sees himself as an action star — saying his football roots give him an easy transition there!!!
As for when we might see Vernon turn from Pro Bowl tight end to full-time actor … Davis ain’t so sure.
But, the 35-year-old is in the final year of his Redskins contract … soooo, see ya on the silver screen after that?!
