Will Smith, in all the years he has spent in the industry, has been known as the trendsetter. The seat on the pedestal comes from his dedication to always stay a cut above the rest and carve his own niche. One of the most popular examples is Smith’s raps during his time as The Fresh Prince. Despite the rap culture, his lyrics were devoid of profanities and lent greatly to revamping the industry. Even when he stepped into the acting industry, the actor remained one of the “cool guys“. But as the actor moves into his 50s, while the enthusiasm to be on top of the trend remains intact, he has dulled a bit on the adaptation part.

It is true that one can find the most ruthless of critiques in their homes. At least for Will Smith, it is true. The actor is the father of Jaden Smith, the kid who sits front row at fashion shows and was facing off with Jackie Chan at 11. Therefore, the stakes for him to be relevant are quite high. As the actor hopped onto the forever iconic ‘May the 4th be with you’ trend, his son had questions for him.

Will Smith leaves Jaden Smith unimpressed by a Star Wars reference

Be it climbing a steep mountain in Antarctica just to make a “Fresh Prints” joke or giving the world some of the most quoted movies, Will Smith knows his way around the pop culture town. Therefore, it does not come as a surprise that he killed two birds with one stone as he used a plethora of AI-generated images to honor Star Wars on the 4th of May. “#Maythe4thBeWithYou” he wrote on each picture which included Smith as various Star Wars avatars. And while one could still make amends with Smith’s “This is Endorable,” pun, his son found it absolutely unacceptable.

Joining the hoards of people who questioned Smith’s state of mind as he posted the pictures, Jaden Smith also wrote, “Why dad, just why.” However, we are sure Smith’s 24-year-old son was only dealing with secondhand embarrassment with all the dad jokes that the Men In Black actor spins out per post and nothing serious.

As for the 54-year-old actor, he has outdone himself by not only making apt Star Wars jokes but also giving a masterclass in AI-generated Will Smith edits that have taken the world by storm.

Does Jaden Smith hate his father?

Owing to history, fans always have their ears perked when it comes to Smith’s family drama. Therefore, as Jaden Smith roleplayed a heartbroken and betrayed son who discovers his father has committed a war crime in Smith’s Instagram comments, they questioned whether the father-son duo ever got along. Thankfully for them, one does not need to do a lot of digging to discover that the two get along just fine.

Not only have the father and son starred in the cult favorite, The Pursuit of Happyness when he was a kid, but to this day they share a lot of interests with Jaden Smith, even paying tribute to him with his fashion collection.
