The talented ten year-old Jaden Smith (son of actor Will Smith) made his debut in The Pursuit of Happyness. In his second film - The Day The Earth Stood Still, he stars with actors Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly. Here's more on how the acting bug has bitten him…

What kind character do you play?
J: "I play a boy Jacob who is confused for most of the movie because he has no idea what is going on when this alien, Klaatu, comes to Earth. Jacob is just a normal kid and thinks the guy (Klaatu) is going to be his new dad because his own dad died. But he has it all wrong."  

What was it like working with Keanu?
J: "He is a really cool guy and a great actor and he is very, very funny. He always had a lot of jokes and also made me feel welcome." 

You come from an amazing acting family, when did acting begin for you?
J: "I used to like being in front of the camera when I was small and I decided that when I grew up I wanted to be an actor.  I really loved acting. Now I feel acting is awesome, it is great. I like making a difference in the world by putting good things on the screen. I was five when I first began doing the TV show All Of Us and that was fun. I liked it a lot."

What is it about acting that you find fun?
A: "You get to do crazy things and you get to be different people for a while. I like the different sets.  They are like different worlds. On The Day The Earth Stood Still, there are space ships and a science lab and graveyards.  They were all really cool. The science lab was my favorite set.  It had real science things and experiments.  I like science a lot."       

I know you like science fiction, why and what kind?
J: "I think science fiction is cool because it's fake. I love aliens and creepy scary stuff, those are the type of movies I really like best.  I loved the movie Alien and I liked The Lord Of The Rings."      

What are your hobbies?
J: "I like to act, dance and do karate. I do hip hop dancing and I like dancing to techno music. I like a lot of music and am pretty good at karate; I am one belt away from a black belt.  I think school is pretty good right now and everything else is awesome."
