People saying he's a bad actor simply don't know acting. Dude is a better actor then most actors in their mid-twenties, if he keeps improving he's at least going to be a top charactor actor like Mark Strong/Jeffrey Wright/Giovanni Ribisi/Ray Wise

This.

Jaden has his parents work ethic and their family is disciplined. McCauly had awful parents and basically had to fend for himself by the time the kid was 11 from his parasitic parents.

As long as he keeps acting like Will's kid, I don't see much for him. His head seems on another level. Will is arrogant but he has charisma to make up for it. Can't say the same for Jaden.

hopefully when After Earth drops, Daddy Will finds him some indie roles, now that his peers already knows his face. He can groom himself into a respectable actor by the time he turns 21.

he too young to call it. most child actors dont make it as adult actors. however, most child actors dont have will smith as a dad so i think he has a chance.

it really depends on how convincingly he can play an average person

But he's gotta do some heavy, indy, offbeat, R rated flick to get that real praise going though. He's not gonna get simply by doing big summer blockbuster, PG-PG13, big name remakes, and father/son projects only. He's gotta venture out be on some other shyt at least every other project.

I'mma pay attention to what types of roles he picks and choose in the future. If its all 'safe shyt' then he might be a teen idol type cat as his ceiling but he won't get any serious actor daps and accolades from the critics and film buffs that's for sure.

hes not a good actor and doesnt have any charisma either

if his pops keeps producing projects for him he has a chance but i dont ever see him becoming a star

I noticed this watching him & Will on Ellen earlier today. Will was able to draw peoples attention with his wit and charisma but Jaden just doesn't have it. I swear Will answered all of Jaden's questions for him.

He needs to be in a movie that shows his acting skills and not in a movie with his parents in it.

No it isn't. If every one of his flicks in the future is with his dad, either producing or acting, and the movies do well....that still makes him a big star.

I remember Jackie Chan saying he wasn't gonna pull strings for his own son, Jaycee Chan to become famous in the film industry.

Jaden just a kid now but at some point he's gonna have to show that he can fend for himself. If everything he does from now on is with his daddy dude gonna look spoon-fed as fukk.

1) No he doesn't have show he can fend for himself.

2) He's a 15 year old kid that will make more money than any of us ever will. He's already spoon fed. So it doesn't matter.
