Will Smith reveals unpublished photos of his son with Jackie Chan: “Thank you for helping me raise him”

Jackie Chan turned 70 and Will Smith, his personal friend, greeted him on Instagram. In addition to the love message he left him, the Oscar winner showed unpublished photos of the birthday boy and his son Jaden from the time of filming Karate Kid.

“Happy 70th birthday (wow) to my boy Jackie Chan! “In addition to making some of my all-time FAVORITE movies and creating some of the CRAZIEST moments ever captured on film, I thank you so much for helping me raise Jaden,” Smith begins.

He concludes: “The time spent with you in Beijing during Karate Kid has left an everlasting impact on our entire family. We wish you the deepest Love and Revelation on your next journey around the sun.”

In the photos, Jaden – now 25 – and Jackie have fun while filming the 2010 remake of the 1984 film in which Chan plays not Mr Miyagi but Mr Han, the mentor of Dre, the character played by Son of Will.

The attempt to bring the popular film of the 1980s closer to new generations worked critically and at the box office: it grossed almost 360 million dollars out of 40 spent.
