Will Smith must be so proud of his son! Will's youngest son, 11 year old Jaden Smith, is co-staring alongside Jackie Chan in the remake of the 1984 classic The Karate Kid.
"I trained every day for four months with Master Wu [the film's fight coordinator]," Jaden, 11, tells PEOPLE as he takes on his first leading role as an American boy named Dre Parker who moves to China. "We did a lot of stretching."
Jaden was so dedicated to mastering those high kicks that even Jackie Chan was impressed with him!
"He took the training very seriously. I was very impressed with him."
"Jaden had a lot of respect for me as his teacher, even off the set," says Chan. "He is professional as many adult actors who have been in the business for years."
And what exactly is Jackie teaching 11 year old Jaden?
"Jackie taught me to ask, 'My left or camera left?'" says Jaden on learning the important directions of acting in front of the movie camera. "That helped."
Jaden's behavior around the home has also started to change.
"His dad told me that Jaden had changed," says Chan. "When he takes his shoes off, he doesn't throw them in the corner, but puts them away neatly!"
Well I guess that's a great way to learn a lesson - right alongside Jackie Chan!
