Jaden Smith was an American actor and musician who rose to prominence through a famous family, but still managed to cut his own, highly idiosyncratic, sometimes odd, but always compelling path to stardom on his own terms. Born on July 8, 1998 in Malibu, CA, Jaden was the son of Hollywood superstars Volition Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, the middle child of the couple's iii children (Will had an older son, Trey, born in 1992, from a previous relationship, and Jaden's sister, Willow, was born in 2000). Jaden has spoken at length about how being the offspring of two famous parents kept him from having a normal babyhood. He attended New Hamlet Leadership Academy, simply had difficulties making friends, which lead to him existence homeschooled by his parents. When he was just eight years old, Jaden made his acting debut aslope his father in the inspirational drama "The Pursuit of Happyness" (2006). The moving-picture show was a minor box function success, earning Will Smith his second Best Actor nomination at that yr's Academy Awards, and critics were overall impressed with the younger Smith's nascent efforts at acting. Jaden followed up his big screen debut with a small role in the remake of "The Day the World Stood Still" (2010), before taking on his showtime starring function, alongside martial arts fable Jackie Chan, in a big budget remake of "The Karate Kid" (2010). The picture performed well at the box office, debuting at number 1 on it's opening weekend, but received mixed reviews from critics. In add-on, the public was starting to grow weary of the Smith children in the wake of Jaden'due south acting career and his sister Willow's pop star ambitions, feeling they were the unfair beneficiaries of dynastic largesse. That feeling of ill will was only made worse by Jaden's adjacent project, "After Globe" (2013). The post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller had many strikes against it earlier it was even released: Will Smith produced the motion picture and was credited with the story thought, which many speculators noticed contained hints of the teachings of Scientology, and once once again casting his son aslope him smacked of nepotism. In improver to this, the pic was directed past K. Nighttime Shyamalan, who was coming off of a string of high profile flops, and the advertizing for the moving-picture show seemingly went out of its way not to mention his name. "Afterward Earth" was a bomb at the box office, and received scathing reviews from critics, many of whom attacked Jaden'due south functioning, labeling it whiny and lacking in charisma. Dismayed from all of the negative press, Jaden decided to put acting on the back burner for awhile. In the meantime, he began working on music; he released a mixtape, "Absurd Tape Vol. 2," in 2014. He also bankrupt into manner, starting a clothing/lifestyle brand called MSFTSrep, and became known for his idiosyncratic, eyebrow-raising, and often gender fluid fashion choices: he attended Kanye Westward and Kim Kardashian's wedding in an all-white Batman costume, and in 2016 became the first male person to model women's wear for Louis Vuitton, showing up in one of their ads adorned in a skirt. His social media presence also became somewhat infamous, and he was roundly mocked for his faux-profound Twitter posts concerning the Illuminati, Chemtrails, and aliens. By this time, however, Jaden was on a path of his own choosing, and equally information technology turned out, that path lead dorsum to acting: he returned to the screen with a recurring role on Baz Luhrmann's serial about the birth of hip-hop, "The Go Downwards" (Netflix, 2016-2017). He followed that up with past voicing a character on "Neo Yokio" (Netflix, 2017-), an anime series created by Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig, and by appearing on a 2017 episode of the splashy primetime soap opera "Nashville" (ABC/CMT, 2012-2018) as himself. That same year, Jaden released his debut album, "SYRE," receiving generally positive reviews and sales. Jaden could most recently be seen playing a New York City skate rat in the Sundance Festival-approved indie hit "Skate Kitchen" (2018).
