Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan

Like father, like son, Will Smith's son Jaden is ready to become a real actor. Jaden will be seen alongside Jackie Chan in a remake of the 1984 classic, 'The Karate Kid'. The movie about an American boy named Dre Parker who moves to China will be released in June 11, 2010. "I trained every day for four months with Master Wu [the film's fight coordinator].We did a lot of stretching", Jaden declared for People.  The movie is filmed in Beijing and includes scenes filmed atop the Great Wall of China. Jaden declared himself impressed of working with Jackie Chan (who plays maintenance man Mr. Han). "Jackie taught me to ask, 'My left or camera left?'That helped", he said. In return, 55 years old Jackie Chan says  the on-screen relationship between teacher and student has been translated into real life. "Jaden had a lot of respect for me as his teacher, even off the set. He is professional as many adult actors who have been in the business for years. His dad told me that Jaden had changed. When he takes his shoes off, he doesn't throw them in the corner, but puts them away neatly!" Chan said.
