Childhood and Youth

Jaden Christopher Syre Smith was born on July 8, 1998, in Malibu, California. Jaden's father is actor, musician, and director Will Smith ("Seven Pounds", "Men in Black", "I Am Legend"). His mother is American actress, singer, producer, director, and entrepreneur Jada Pinkett Smith. Jaden has a younger sister, Willow (born in 2000), who is a singer and actress, and a half-brother Trey (born in 1992), who is an actor and DJ.
Jaden received his primary education at the New Village Leadership Academy and later switched to homeschooling along with his sister. It wasn't easy for the boy to interact with his peers, who were well aware of his famous parents and their success in the film industry. Now, Jaden actively promotes homeschooling and urges people to drop out of traditional school.

Cinema

Jaden Smith first found himself on a film set while still in his mother's womb. Jada Pinkett-Smith, in the late stages of pregnancy, appeared in her husband's music video for "Just the Two of Us" (1998), alongside father-in-law Willard, younger brother Trey, and two sisters. At the age of four, Jaden was again in his father's music video for "Black Suits Comin' (Nod Ya Head)", a track included in the "Men in Black II" (2002) soundtrack. In 2004, Jaden appeared in several episodes of the TV series "All of Us", produced by his father, but his real success was still ahead.

In 2006, the biographical drama "The Pursuit of Happyness" by Gabriele Muccino was released - about a man who went from a poor salesman to a successful manager.

The film was warmly received by audiences and critics, and the young actor was honored with three prestigious awards at film festivals.

A grown-up Jaden appeared in 2013 in M. Night Shyamalan's science-fiction disaster film "After Earth". According to the plot, the spaceship of the father (Will Smith) and son (Jaden Smith) crashes on the abandoned by humans earth.

This film received much lower ratings than "The Karate Kid", and many negative reviews, which also concerned Jaden's performance. The young man was accused of lacking talent and gaining "quick fame due to his famous father".
