We’re sadly approaching the end of Barack Obama’s presidency, and following last night’s White House Correspondence Dinner, the first trailer for Southside With You has arrived in timely fashion. The sweet indie romance flick takes us back in time to 1989, when a young Barack met his future wife, Michelle, and took her on their very first date — well, according to her, it wasn’t actually a date (but it kind of was).

Newcomer Devon Terrell will play the younger Obama, with The Witch breakout star Anya Taylor-Joy in the key role of a college friend.

Here's just a few of the international superstars we've already seen copping Michelle's new look.
Everybody in America who was planning on getting bangs this week is thoroughly miffed at Michelle Obama for stealing their thunder. People sincerely cannot stop talking about the First Lady's haircut. Even people who want everybody to stop talking about it are talking about it...
