Over the years, Jaden Smith has become known for his eclectic style and philosophical musings, iconic music, and even his acting chops. Although the 26-year-old has lived his entire life in the public eye, he has kept a lot of things private, like his love for his friends.
Most recently, the middle child of the Smith family has once again grabbed headlines with a curious, and somewhat cryptic, declaration. The 26-year-old revealed that when he finds a friend he truly connects with, he feels an urge to build things for them.
This statement, though puzzling to some, has proved to be a testament to Smith’s unique way of expressing emotions and connections. After all, what better way to show someone you love them than making them something with your bare hands?
Jaden Smith opens up about his carpentry hobby
Jaden Smith keeps proving that he is more than just his father’s son. Although the celebrity followed in Will Smith’s footsteps and joined the film and music industry, his interests involve a lot more handy work. In an interview with Complex Music on Instagram, the star shared one thing he always does for friends that he loves.
The 26-year-old admitted that he would ask his friends if he had their permission to build them a bed frame. If they said yes, Smith would take his time and even leave them a little gift to find later.
I’ll like, write a note for them and like, put it on the thing and then be like, drill it into the bed frame so they can’t read the note until such a long time has passed that they actually have to disassemble the bed, and when they disassemble the bed, they find this note in it and sh*t and it’s like from me.
Although Smith did not think it was a big deal, there’s no doubt that any friend he did this for thought otherwise. After all, building something from scratch takes a long time and a whole lot of material and patience to make.
However, with Smith’s recent break up earlier this year, the actor seemed to have nothing but time on his hands. The Pursuit of Happyness star even went on to state, “So like, I’m a carpenter, like I build shit with my hands when I’m bored.”
With Smith recently calling it quits with his longtime girlfriend, Sab Zada, he seemed to have a lot of unresolved emotions to deal with. Luckily for his fans, the singer channeled his heartbreak and turned it into a new project.
Jaden Smith surprises fans with a new project
Since the beginning of the year, Jaden Smith has been teasing his fans with the promise of new music. Although it kept being pushed, just last month the star announced his EP on Instagram. It was titled 2024: A Case Study of the Long Term Effects of Young Love.
The album dropped on October 18th and caught the attention of all his fans. Before the release, the artist sat down with Billboard to discuss his inspiration behind his latest album.
Honestly, I’m so sad that it’s put me into a corner where I can’t do anything besides make music. That’s why I decided to release this next project.
Smith admitted that he was struggling with his mental health. However, it was his music that helped keep him grounded and sane. He explained the inspiration behind his album and stated, “It’s just a topic of something I wanted to bring up”
The recent album wound up being a success. However, Smith still has more uncertain emotions to deal with. While that could lead to another album eventually, fans might end up waiting for some time before it becomes a reality.
