When the world was first introduced to Jaden and Willow Smith, the children of celebrity power couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, they seemed pretty normal for famous kids. Jaden got his acting start with supporting roles in "Pursuit Of Happyness" and "The Day The Earth Stood Still", before going on to star in the "Karate Kid" remake, which also featured him rapping on a very normal pop song with Justin Bieber. Willow got her start with the breakout hit "Whip My Hair", a song that made her seem precocious, but was very conventional and radio-ready.
In the past two or so years though, a transformation has occurred in both Smith children. In interviews and on social media, both Jaden and Willow have become more impenetrable and "out there", speaking in mystical, existential terms, and often sounding like conspiracy theorists. This has also bled through into their music, which has gotten more experimental by the day. One look at the titles of their recent projects Interdimensional Tesseract and the This Is The Album EP is evidence enough.
Just today, Will Smith revealed that Jaden owns one pair of shoes, three pairs of pants and five shirts, in an effort to prevent himself from being "a slave to the money." While that's certainly not the weirdest thing we've learned about him in the past year, it's become the latest in a long line of Smith kids' actions that make us say "WTF."
While we can't pretend to understand what's going on in Jaden and Willow's heads, and don't want to disrespect them, it's reached the point where they're now two of the most bizarre, intriguing people in music. And they're only 16 and 14, respectively. So here's the ten craziest things they've done.
