Jaden Smith, the Karate Kid-starring son of Will Smith, teamed up with teenage heartthrob Justin Bieber in the music video for the Biebs’ song Never Say Never. The two have been friends for quite a while now, and Bieber has referred to the young Smith as his “lil’ bro”. Will Smith’s daughter Willow is also tight with Bieber, and was invited to join him on tour in Europe.
This is the Never Say Never video. Enjoy!
Earlier this week, the 42nd NAACP Image Awards nominations were announced at a press conference in Beverly Hills, at the Paley Center.

Here is a beautiful picture of the children with their mother, Jada Pinket-Smith.

Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jaden Smith and Willow Smith hit Germany this week for the premiere there of The Karate Kid. The premiere was in Berlin, Germany on Monday, July 19th.
Jaden posed for pictures and signed autographs in the German capital.
The Karate Kid finally hit London, as the premiere took place on July 16th, 2010. Producers Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith were there to support Jaden, their 12 year old son and the star of the remake.
When asked about her son, Jada Pinkett Smith said, “You know, it’s Will and I… I just felt like two artists would create a little artist. When he was born he used to love dancing to Michael Jackson…. And then as he got older, he had some real skills.”
Will Smith explained that Jaden “didn’t have the shock and the radical life change that child actors usually have coming into the business.’
Crowds in India are, apparently, going wild over the new Karate Kid movie, starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan and produced by Will Smith.
As Kercy Daruwala, managing director at Sony Pictures, said, “We are expecting the numbers to go up in the coming week following positive word-of- mouth publicity. Many shows drew full houses during the weekend.”
Bollywood loves Jackie Chan, and, according to the article, this is the highest grossing Jackie Chan movie in India to date.
Not only is young Jaden Smith, son to Will Smith, an acting sensation in the remake of The Karate Kid, but he’s got his father’s rapping talent as well. He can be heard singing on one of the songs from the soundtrack to the new film by Columbia Pictures.
He is a guest artist on the single “Never Say Never” which is sung by teen sensation Justin Bieber. Watch the video here and enjoy seeing how the apple certainly doesn’t fall far from the tree.
