Throwback to when Jackie Chan revealed how he wanted to swap his son with Will Smith son Jaden after his performance in Karate Kid.

Why Did Jackie Chan Want to “Swap” His Son With Will Smith’s 12-Years-Old Jaden Smith?

Over the years, we have seen only a handful of films based on or related to
Karate. However, despite the fact that there are very few films revolving around
karate, almost everyone is aware of the 2010 movie Karate Kid. Starring young
Jaden Smith and legendary actor Jackie Chan, Karate Kid was one of the most
popular films of its time. What many of us are not aware of is that the Men in
Black star, Will Smith, was the producer of the film. The Karate Kid (2010) was
an extremely entertaining film.

Seeing the chemistry between Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan was a treat to the
eyes. While Chan did what he does best, i.e. play every role he gets with
perfection, young Jaden shocked everyone too with his incredible acting
performance. Undoubtedly, everyone was impressed with The Pursuit of Happyness
star’s performance in the movie, including Jackie Chan. He was so taken with
Jaden that he even revealed his wish to swap his son with the 24-year-old
rapper?
