Here we have another father and son team who have successful careers in the same industry. Oh, and they're basically identical in looks, too. Will Smith first stole our hearts in the comedy sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Belair, and since then he has only moved up in the entertainment world. It was a joyous occasion when he and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, brought their son, Jaden Smith, into the world, along with his sister, Willow, a few years later.
Jaden is now 20 years old, but we first saw him star with his dad in the blockbuster film, The Pursuit of Happyness, when he was just eight years old. It was from that moment that we knew Jaden would go on to do great things, and he hasn't let us down yet. He is also a rapper.
