And what happened to their marriage since then? <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> ), so it's hard to say who would be better to play Al and Jas. Maybe Will Smith and Jada Pinkett? (Which would also make it kind of an in-joke, since he was actually suggested to play Aladdin in the actual movie...) <br /> <br />Edit: hope you don't mind, AG, but I edited one of the pics into the first post.
