Will and Jaden Smith are possibly one of the most hip and happening father-son duos in celebrityville. They have the moves, they have the image, and they definitely know how to act. The father-son team first caught the attention of fans when they starred together in The Pursuit Of Happyness and have continued to hold reigns in the industry, in terms of coolness and style.
While their relationship isn't perfect, and there have been hiccups along the way, Will and Jaden Smith definitely seem to genuinely love and respect each other, and they definitely have many talents and interests which help to cement their bond as father and son.
10 Open Communication
Jaden Smith's health recently appeared to deteriorate before his fans' eyes? He embraced a vegan lifestyle which left him looking particularly drained and visibly weak.
His family confronted him on Red Table Talk, his mom's show, and he agreed to change to vegetarianism. His health appears to be much better (if photos are anything to go by), thanks to the confrontation.
9 Fearless
Jaden and Will don't always see eye to eye. This, especially when it comes to Jaden's innate bravado.

Will has been apprehensive about his son's apparent fearlessness and his willingness to jump into situations on a creative whim. This creativity is possibly something which fans find irresistible, even if it makes Dad a little apprehensive.
8 Zero Punishment Zone
Despite putting pressure on their kids, Will and wife Jada didn't believe in punishing their when they raised them.
Their thinking was that they were creating humans who would learn to take responsibility for their own actions, and learn to take control over their own lives. Has this been beneficial to Jaden and Willow? Time will tell.
7 Say What?
How far can the concept of 'honest communication' be taken? Apparently, quite far. Will and Jaden have been heard discussing everything, from meals to bathroom habits on talk shows, including Will's wife's show, Red Table Talk.
6 The Circle of Safety
Will is so creative, it's no surprise that he and Jada would come up with a concept like 'The Circle of Safety'. This inventive communication device was devised to encourage honest communication between himself and his son. When things are told within this circle, Will has to listen without judgment. However, if it is withheld and discovered, Will has confessed there will be hell to pay.
5 Highly Pressurised Upbringing
Jaden Smith allegedly confronted his mom and dad on the immense pressure he experienced growing up, in terms of having to perform at a certain high standard to ensure success.
He definitely is a talented young man, who entered the world with big shoes to fill, in terms of his father's immense success in the entertainment industry.
4 Home-Schooled
Will and Jada Smith have had an immense influence on their children's philosophical outlook on life. This hasn't always been to Jaden Smith's approval. Critics say he eventually moved out of Hollywood to get away from dad and mom. What Will did try to instill in Jaden was confidence in his own intelligence and thought processes, and it would seem that despite differences in outlook, the pair definitely love each other and have mutual respect for each other's talents.
3 On Stage Partnerships
One of the most beautiful things about Will and Jaden's relationship is how they have shared the stage. When Jaden was on stage at Coachella, Will joined on stage and grabbing the microphone from his son, told everyone how much he loves his boy. Their mutual love for the stage has been something which has definitely cemented their relationship and however up and down their relationship might seem, no-one could disagree that they definitely love each other.
2 Will's 'Creative Genius'
Jaden Smith is indeed talented and Will sees his son as a creative genius. He is intelligent, musical and an ace at acting. However, it would seem another facet of his relationship with father Will, is Will's constant reminders to him that he is a genius, and set apart for great things. Critics have said Will's overzealous praise of his son has created an overconfident young man who believes everyone should step in line with what he determines. However, Will and Jada definitely seem to believe that Jaden is a cut above the rest and perhaps he is. It's hard to argue that his performance in Karate Kid 2 isn't something spectacular, and he definitely has some of that special stardust which makes Will a legend on screen.
1 A Mutual Respect
Despite having some turbulence in their relationship, father and son seem to express mutual respect for each other's careers. This was demonstrated when Jaden played The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song at Will's 51st birthday celebration. This was a touching gesture, which Jaden added to by posting about his great and incomprehensible love for his Dad online.
