Will Smith is starring opposite his son Jaden in the new sci-fi film, After Earth, and he couldn’t be more excited.

HipHollywood sat down with Will in Las Cruces, New Mexico where he revealed that working with his son was the main reason he decided to do the film.

“I just wanted to work with my son again,” said Smith who conceived the story for the film. “It’s just a cool father-son story and as strange as it seems entertainment is our family business, so it was just an excuse to be with my son 12 hours a day.”

In the film, Will plays an army general who is forced to let go of his son. Jaden revealed that he could relate to his character, but doesn’t feel any pressure to be just like his father. Check it out!
