Jackie Chan Praises Jaden Smith in 'The Karate Kid'

Not just contented being Will Smith's son, 11 year old Jaden Smith is carving out a name for himself after snagging the lead role in the updated version of the 1984 cult hit movie The Karate Kid. Yes, he will be taking the role that Ralph Macchio went famous for. And, Jackie Chan will play as his mentor in the film.

The 55 year old veteran martial arts superstar was actually impressed with Jaden's dedication and perseverance during the filming. Jackie revealed the young Smith was an eager student not only on set, but when learning about the entire filmmaking process because "he took the training very seriously.... Jaden had a lot of respect for me as his teacher, even off the set. He is as professional as many adult actors who have been in the business for years." The movie takes place in many locations, including the Great Wall of China, where Jackie and the film's fight coordinator Master Wu had the opportunity to share valuable lessons to Jaden. In his interview in People, Jaden shared that he "trained every day for four months with Master Wu. We did a lot of stretching, and Jackie taught me to ask, 'My left or camera left?' That helped.'"

Jaden Smith changed a lot because of the new learned lessons, according to 'Rush Hour' actor Jackie Chan. He added that Will Smith, Jaden's dad, informed him about the things that changed about Jaden: "When he takes his shoes off, he doesn't throw them in the corner, but puts them away neatly!" Well, learning karate really needs discipline and Jaden's out to achieve that!

Megan Fox is so happy with the deal as the car was in good condition and beautiful. She also shared that her mother used to prohibit her from learning how to drive until she was 18 because she used to sneak out of the house most of the time! However, that did not stop Megan from loving cars so much. In an interview with Jay Leno, she admonished: "I used to steal my mom's car all the time when I was like 14 and 15 right before I got my license." Well, look right now, you can drive all you want. Her mom's car was a teal Kia and now you're getting a iconic 1966 Mustang Fastback. Hope you refurbish it much and get it on the street fast.
