Jaden Smith is arguably among the most successful nepo babies in Hollywood.
The son of actorsWill Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Jaden has been in the public eye since infancy.
In that regard, he experienced a significant degree of success when he was still a kid.
Yet amidst all that success has come controversy and sadness.
The celebrity status imposed upon him at birth also hindered experiencing typical relationships with other kids while growing up.
He explained in an interview withBigBoyTVthat this dynamic is something that he’s ultimately found to be beneficial.
“Or any emotion,” the review added.
“Or any acting talent of any sort.”
“And what was worse was that Jaden took the hit.
“That was excruciating,” he said.
“We never discussed it, but I know he felt betrayed.
“He ultimately decided against it, but it sucks to feel like you’ve hurt your kids.”
He confirmed that he wasn’t going through with it.
I think Imma be there for 20, 30 more years.”
It was always in my head, talking, telling me what I was and what I wasn’t.
“They wish some of their family’s private matters remained private.”
“But the boys, I just told them what was in it.
They’ll read it eventually.”
“I do have pain,” he said.
“It’s like a password that I have to find to my body.”
“I recently became a vegetarian,” he toldVanity Fair.
Eventually, he took the next step and decided to become a full-on vegan.
While his intention was to improve his health, that’s not the way things went down.
“So he was wasting away.
He just looked drained, he was just depleted, he wasn’t getting the nutrients.”
Jaden’s father, Will Smith, was also concerned about his appearance.
“We got really nervous, but you’re definitely looking better now.”
“I’m vegetarian, I have tried to eat vegan meals,” he said.
That’s hardly a new phenomenon.
“This 11-year-old really has the haters foaming,” the magazine observed.
Years later, Smith was hit with backlash over his gender-fluid fashion style.
By then, he toldNylonin 2016, he’d come to take all his haters in stride.
Failing the test apparently sent the angsty teen into a fit of existential despair.
“Everybody follow your heart, okay, you know what I’m saying?
As he kept filming, Smith continued to discuss his misery.
“I’m at the DMV.
“We’re gonna miss you Daddio!
You lived & played by your own rules … you truly were 1 of a kind!”
she wrote in the caption accompanying a photo of her ex-husband with his father and son.
I saw her spit blood,” he wrote, as excerpted byPeople.
“Last night we lost one of our furry sons Fang.
He brought so much love into our family, our animal pack and community.
Thank you Fang for 15 years of pure joy.
According to a 2014 story inUs Weekly, the siblings were then enamored of their pet snakes.
Jaden reportedly nicknamed his sister’s snakes “girlfriends,” and would cuddle up with the reptiles.
“They slither into his bed and curl up with him!”
At first they were just friends, with the relationship eventually turning romantic before it ended.
Pinkett Smith and Alsina eventually broke it off.
“It had been so long since I felt good,” she said, as reported byToday.com.
And while the perks are obvious, Jaden has also discussed the downside of having famous folks.
So we kind of knew that when we were young.”
