Will Smith, who shares two children with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, recently turned to Instagram. He expressed how proud he was of his children. Jaden Smith, 24, and Willow Smith, 22, got into stardom at a very young age. Willow made her Hollywood debut with her father in I Am Legend in 2007. At the time, her father revealed an interesting observation about Willow Smith. 

In his interview with People, the Emancipation star talked about his kids, Jaden and Willow. He revealed that his son, The Pursuit of Happyness actor, was like Johnny Depp, who just wanted to make good films. However, his daughter was like Paris Hilton, who wanted to be on TV. The Smith kids have followed their father’s path in making their careers in music as well.

Talking more about his daughter in the 2007 interview, the Bad Boys actor said, “She has a drive.” The ‘Maybe It’s My Fault’ singer had energy and she just connected to human emotion, revealed the now 54-year-old. Talking about her work ethic, her father revealed Willow’s strong personality contributed to her impressive work ethic. He even teased his daughter, saying you would not work with the American singer; you would work for her.

While admiring his daughter and her impressively strong personality, the father of 3 shared an incident from the I Am Legend shoot as well.

Will Smith left impressed with his daughter’s work spirit

When they were shooting the 2007 movie, the ‘Wait a Minute!’ singer’s temperature dropped below zero. Despite her deadly condition, she was willing to work and complete the scene. Therefore, she turned to her father and informed him she would not back down, no matter how low the temperature went. This dedication and commitment toward her work left the Men in Black actor impressed.

Sharing more about his kids, the Philadelphia-born actor revealed he and his wife made their children audition for the films. When the now 22-year-old singer nailed the audition for his father’s I Am Legend, she even teased her brother, Jaden Smith.

The young singer has won many awards and got nominations for prestigious awards as well. Her achievements include a Young Artist Award, an NAACP Image Award, and a BET Award. She received nominations for two Daytime Emmy Awards and an MTV Video Music Award, too.
