Jaden Smith becomes highest paid Hollywood child star after raking in $3m for The Karate Kid

By Paul Thompson


Actor Will Smith's son has become the highest paid child star in Hollywood - earning a staggering £2m from his role in The Karate Kid.

Although just 12 years old, Jaden Smith received the bumper pay day thanks to the box office success of the film.

He was paid a reported salary of $1m (£600,000) as an 'up front' fee to star in a remake of the 1984 movie.

It was only the young actor's third film, but his first starring role alongside Jackie Chan.

According to celebrity website TMZ his management had also negotiated a share of the eventual profits of the film.

With The Karate Kid film taking more than $150m (£100m) at the box office, the young actor received another $2m(£1.3m) bonus.

The website estimate that other perks signed into Jaden's contract would have resulted in a payday of over $3m (£2m).

As well as starring in the film he also sang the theme song 'Never Say Never' alongside teen superstar Justin Bieber.

Jaden's seven figure salary makes him by far the highest paid of any of the young actors currently in Hollywood.

Although the film was released in 2010 when Jaden was 12 he had begun filming at the age of 10.

With his youger sister Zillow they have forged out careers with the blessing of their parents Will and Jada Pinket Smith.

As well as acting Jaden has forged a career as a rap artist and his 10 year old sister had a No 2 hit in the UK with Whip My Hair.

Will Smith's wife talks about steamy limo romp

Actress Jada Pinkett Smith and hubby Will Smith had a steamy sex session in the car while on their way to the Academy Awards this year.

In an interview to Shape magazine, Jada revealed, “When you have three kids, you've got to take your opportunities when they come,” reports New York Post.

“In a limo, on the way to the Academy Awards this year, Will started looking at me in this way that drives me wild. We started kissing passionately, and the next thing I knew, well, let''s just say we missed the red carpet and I ended up with almost no makeup on."

This is not the first time Jada has opened up about her adventurous love life with her hunky husband.

She recently claimed having sex at a friend's house keeps relationships alive as does getting intimate in cars or workplaces.

She said: "Be sneaky - your girlfriend's house at a party. The bathroom. A bedroom.

"Think of places outside that are comfortable to have sex.

"Does he have access to his office? Have a fantasy date. Be his secretary! Pull over on the side of the road... Just switch it up.

"Anything like that can keep it going. Anything it takes to keep the flame alive."

Will Smith's wife helped him overcome sex scene fears

Unlike many women, Jada Pinkett-Smith actually encouraged her actor husband Will to shed all fears and get as hot and heavy as possible in his love scene for film Seven Pounds.

She did so because she wanted to protect her own reputation.

The I Am Legend actor could be seen doing a racy romp with stunning Rosario Dawson in the film.

"Jada said, 'Listen, make sure you don't embarrass me. She said women forever are going to be looking at this love scene and they're going to decide whether you can go or not. So don't be holding back, don't embarrass me,'" Fox News quoted Will Smith as telling how his wife encouraged him for the sexy scene.

The lovemaking sequence is just the second sex scene Smith has done in his entire acting career, after showing off his bedroom antics with Pinkett herself in Ali.

And thus, Smith was a bunch of nerves before going all the way to do a racy scene with Dawson.

"Will wouldn't start kissing for weeks," Dawson revealed to the L.A Times.

She added: "It would be on the schedule, we'd have lights and everything set up, and he would end up being like, 'I'm not feeling it tonight. I don't think it's going to happen. Let's wait another week.' I was checking my breath, smelling myself, trying to see Am I offending the man in some way?”

Will Smith: I'm really, really good…at sex

Star boasts that he's a love god – but one who's totally faithful…

Will Smith is the best catch ever. He's tall, dark, handsome and rich, not to mention possibly the nicest man in the world… oh, and he's happily married. Damn.

The key to his nine-and-a-half-year marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith? 'Really, really good sex,' says Will, 38. 'I'm really good at it.'

He isn't worried about losing his appeal, either. 'Not at all,' he scoffs. 'I'm going to be so sexy when I'm older. You have no idea. I can tell you're moved by me right now. But see me in five years and it'll be hard for you even to talk to me.'

In case he sounds arrogant, remember all this is said with a huge smile. Will admits that he's always been shy around women. He's only had five serious girlfriends in his life, including Jada, 35, and his ex-wife Sheree, 39.

Will married Sheree in 1992 and they had a son Trey, now 14. But they divorced in 1995. Will was determined that his next marriage would be his last - and wants his relationship with Jada to be as happy and successful as that of his parents. The couple have a son Jaden, eight, and daughter Willow, six.

He explains: 'With Jada I stood up in front of God and my family and said: “'Til death do us part.” Divorce cannot be an option.'
