This was Jaden’s first big role and it was a success. When talking about what it was like working with his 8-year-old son on set, Will Smith admitted that he was the one that was learning from his kid. Will Smith was struggling with a scene and retaking it over and over again and then Jaden just said to him that he wasn’t supposed to do the same thing for every shot. Will Smith realized that he was doing the same moves and poses he had prepared, so that it would look good on camera, but what he should have been doing was making the character real. Jaden and Will Smith also appeared in After Earth (2013) together. Before The Pursuit Of Happyness, Jaden had a brief appearance with his brother Tray in Men In Black II (2002). Will Smith worked with his daughter Willow Smith as well in the movie I Am Legend (2007).
