Alienating In The Name Of Art

[Blind Gossip] Dad is a major movie star. He knows that his success depends on bringing in the widest audience possible. Therefore, he is generally very careful with his image.

That includes social media. Instead of ranting about politics, he posts positive thoughts and uplifting messages.

Our actor has a son who, with Dad’s help, is also trying to be a major movie star.

Sonny is… different. He likes to express himself freely in his art and on social media. That sometimes results in him expressing himself in a weird or controversial way.

Dad wasn’t happy that Sonny was being negative on social media and told him that he needed to think about the impact that his negative words have. Sonny argued with him.

He said that the thing that separates him from other people as a true artist is his willingness to not censor himself, because censoring is selling out and he isn’t going to be a sell out just to make this group happy or that company happy.

Basically, there will be no apology for going negative.

It should be interesting to watch Sonny alienate more people and companies in his quest for true artistic expression.

    Dad: Will Smith

    Son: Jaden Smith

    [Optional] Do you think Sonny will achieve the same level of success as Dad? Why or why not? No. Jaden is just not as talented as his dad, and it is true that the public image he is cultivating cannot and never will be as mainstream as Will’s.

  3. GretaGuesses says

    This sounds like Will Smith and his strange son, Jaden.

    No, I think Jaden is just too weird to become as successful as his dad.

  4. calumsmom says

    Will & Jaden Smith? Wasn’t Sonny’s latest rant about receiving cheese in a RICOTTA pancake at The Four Seasons Toronto?

  7. LawChick2000 says

    Will and Jaden Smith. No way will he achieve Dad’s level of success. Not mainstream enough to open a movie or sit on the Cannes jury.

  8. bethblake says

    Jaden Smith was complainig to his followers on social media about some disagreement between himself and the Toronto Four Seasons Hotel. I thought at the time I was reading that his words had a spoiled brat tone to them, and so I can see his dad Will Smith pulling him to the side and having a man to man talk about how bad he was making himself look in the public eye , so that he could straighten out his bad attitude before it gets the better of him!! Pride goeth before the fall!

  10. icansee says

    Will Smith and his obnoxious twerp son Jaden. No the kid will never be as successful as daddy or mommy.

  11. Flanky says

    I’m gonna guess jaden smith. If will is concerned about the kid, the vast majority of it is because of not implementing any control earlier.
    Reap what you you sew baby!

  12. webber10 says

    DAD: Will Smith
    SON; JAYDEN SMITH

    Nope he will never achieve the same level of success. success comes with hard work, he is nothing more than an entitled little brat.

  13. firefly nights says

    Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith.

    The public will never accept Jaden. They don’t need anymore ridiculous rants about how the Four Seasons spiked his pancakes with cheese. ?

    Seriously, WTF?? ?

  16. roisinm says

    Got to be Will and Jaden Smith? He needs to grow up and realise that he isn’t an ‘artist’, he’s a spoiled kid only famous because of his parents…..

  17. DenverJayhawk says

    Will Smith
    Jaden Smith

    after all he has a reputation for being insufferable…

  18. stelladebois says

    Will Smith and Jayden Smith. Jayden’s recent outburst about the Hilton hotel just shows how entitled he seems.

    And no, I doubt he will reach even close to the success Will Smith has enjoyed in his long career.

  22. Justmyself says

    Will Smith is dad
    Jaden is son.

    Son is never going to be the star his father has been. He lacks the talent and the know how. Will understood/understands that you can’t bite the hands that feed you. I don’t recall him ever being negative toward anyone publicly. Jade, however, needs to sign off and go to school. He’s NOT the artist he thinks he is. No one is amused and frankly no one likes him.

  24. bxckground says

    Dad: Will Smith

    Son: Jaden Smith

    He will never achieve the same level as will, because he doesnt have the talent nor the looks to make it big

  26. TonySheridan says

    Will Smith, Jaden Smith.

    Sonny is never going to reach will’s success. Love him or not, will works hard and always has.

  27. idmama says

    Will Smith
    Jaden Smith
    No – Dad knows how to play the game. That’s been part of his success.

  30. Marvella says

    Will Smith and Jaden Smith.

    No way. Even if the kid were not batpoo crazy, he’s still not movie star material.

  31. lucasj says

    Will and Jaden Smith, this tantrum over ricotta pancakes in Toronto.

    Nah, he doesn’t have his dad’s charm.

  33. jackrabbit says

    Will and Jaden Smith

    Probably not – Will has mass appeal and built his career on catering to the median. Jaden, on the other hand, is trying too hard to be avant garde and exclusive……he probably views his dad’s career path as pedestrian (even though it’s what butters his bread).

  34. Mills007 says

    Oh jeez, that has to be Jayden Smith!

    And no, …will not be a major star as his dad, caus he stays true to his cooky self, if the parents keep holding him and the sister down, this might errupt big time!

    We wait and see,.. All,… no most of the hollywood kids are a little, and some really messed up in one way or the other…

  35. Bushwalker says

    Dad: Will Smith
    Son: Jaden

    Optional:No, because Jaden is just another entitled brat who was brought up believing that he’s a god’s given gift to mankind.

  36. Pierre Latin says

    WILL SMITH

    JADEN SMITH

    Optional: NO. JADEN SMITH IS STUPID. WILL IS LIKE TOM CRUISE: CLOSETED GAYS.

  37. kellyinchains says

    Dad: Will Smith

    Son: Jaden Smith

    Optional: NO! Sonny has ZERO talent and likability. He comes off as a mouthy, uneduated, weird, spoiled and entitled BRAT.

  38. hrtless girl says

    I have no idea who Sonny is but I agree with his point of view. You should always be true to yourself and if you believe in something say it, especially if you have an audience! It’s all about trying to make a difference and I like celebs who are real. I’m tired of Taylor Swift kinds of celebrities who are nothing but a selling product.

  41. Prosecco-Saurus says

    Will Smith
    Jaden Smith
    No- because he’s just not as likeable as his father was, and has come across as a brat

  42. JerzeyJenn says

    Wil Smith
    Jaden Smith
    Love Wil Smith
    I used to like Jaden..but he grew up to be a self entitled spoiled little freaky brat. Be careful of the * you are kicking now on your way up cuz those are the same one’s you will be kissin on the way down.

  43. whoisthatguy says

    Will Smith

    Jaden Smith

    Optional: no because they raised those kids to be spoiled and entitled brats. They will be trust-funders for life after they get blackballed in the industry.

  46. Jester says

    Will Smith
    Jaden Smith
    Yes, I think that he is able to achieve the same level of success, but maybe in a different arena.

  49. Arianna1 says

    Ha ha ha I can totally hear that conversation happening. This is Will and Jaden Smith.

  50. PollyMetropolitan says

    Dad: Will Smith

    Son: Jayden

    Jayden is a pompous weirdo. He won’t become famous unless his parents pay for it.

  52. craicmehappy says

    Dad: Will Smith

    Son: Jaden

    He won’t achieve the same level of success as it is unlikely anyone will give him a role of substance as he is too weird.

  53. MikeInSanJose says

    Will and Jaden Smith

    No! Jaden is nowhere near as likeable as his father. I mean, he *might* be, if you met him one-on-one, but I can’t see that happening for me, or 99% of the other individuals on this planet. While I do like his eccentricity at times, there’s something about him that just seems off…

    Sorry! You asked… 🙂

  54. Ramalama says

    Will Smith
    Jayden
    Hell no!! No one can stand this surly child! He’s an entitled little wanna be without an ounce of his parents talent and they have no one to blame but themselves.

  56. mrslamb says

    Dad: Will Smith
    Son: Jaden Smith

    Optional: Nope, because he’s trying too hard and its mad obvious.

  58. FiyahHotFlashy says

    Will and Jaden Smith…creepy Jaden will NEVER be as popular as his dad. Jaden was a cute child actor now he’s alien-like and on some other ish.

    • deering says

      One could argue he was more bratty than cute as a child actor. That said, he never stood a chance being raised in Scientology–and deep within the Hollywood super-celebrity bubble. He needs a crash course in normal living–and a chance to figure out what his real talent is.

  61. KatarinaJ says

    Jaden Smith calling out the Four Seasons on banning him and giving him bad pancakes. This kid is a brat. His Dad worked the Hollywood machine HARD to obtain his image, fortune, pull, and so Jaden can be as whiny as he wants and just get movies funded and inherit a fortune. Lots of us have had bad service or experiences. Sorry you have had everything handed to you, been catered to forever, and can’t figure this out, J!

  65. ashanean says

    Dad Will Smith
    SonJadrn Smith

    No he comes off as weird and privileged. Staying at the four seasons and complaining about lemon ricotta pancakes? Oh brother, the problems people have. I’ll eat them, they looked great! The

  66. SouthJerseyGirl says

    Jaden Smith whining about being served Lemon Ricotta Pancakes at the 4 Season Hotel in Toronto. Said they tried to kill him (he’s vegan). Plus, when he wanted to extend his stay, the hotel was fully booked – that is “kicking him out of the hotel.”

    What a tool. Don’t foresee him getting anywhere close to achieving the level of fame that either of his parents have.

  67. popmark says

    Will and Jada’s young’un
    They put cheese in his pancakes!
    What a sad, sad, day

  68. TeacherKat says

    Will Smith

    Jayden Smith

    I’m assuming this is about his rant about the Four Seasons kicking him out and spiking his lemon ricotta pancakes with cheese. Poor vegan. Ordering ricotta pancakes and finding out there is dairy in it! Shocking! And I say this as a vegetarian. Will he make it? No. Too weird and uneducated. And not willing to play the game. Oh, and he lacks talent.

  69. DreaDay681 says

    Will Smith
    Jaden Smith
    No, I don’t think he has the star appeal that Will does and he’s just annoying and weird.

  70. colfaxcarol says

    Will Smith and his son Jaden. Jaden was on social media ranting about being thrown out of the Four Seasons and that they put cheese in his omelette or something. He’s giving himself bad press. What’s his art? Lots of bums call themselves artists. He’s just a punk. No looks, no talent, bad attitude. I’m sure Will and Jada set him up with a trust fund, though.

  71. TwistedSweetness says

    Will Smith

    Jaden

    Absolutely not in his own right, he will be known as Will Smith’s troubled arrogant kid.

  73. wfreshie says

    will smith

    son jayden smith…..bad mouthing the fancy hotel he was staying at…he is supposed to be a vegan but he ordered the “ricotta” pancakes not realizing it is cheese and accused them of trying to kill him with the cheese!

  75. LeeLee12345 says

    Will Smith and his nutter kid, Jaden.

    No, Jaden will ultimately not be successful because he does not have a good head on his shoulders nor the capacity for common sense, reflective thought. He’s also just not likable.

  77. Caz1310 says

    Will Smith & Jaden. The mix of Scientology, lack of talent and inability to recognise Jaden’s possible issues and treat them, passing it off as obnoxious superiority doesn’t endear him to anyone. We see through the BS.

    • itstarapagain says

      What I have never understood is why people of influence such as Anna Wintour find them so appealing. She loves Kanye too so maybe her eye has let her down recently.

  79. vickyf89 says

    This screams Will and Jaden Smith.
    That kid is not an artist, he’s just an a-hole.

  82. boyjack4 says

    Will Smith
    Jaden Smith
    The kids an absolute joke, must drive his Dad crackers

  85. Peps66 says

    Will Smith

    Jaden Smith

    He’ll never reach Will’s level of success. Whatever faults Will has, he is focused and DISCIPLINED. But he and Jada failed their kids like so many Hollywood couples by not giving the children structure and teaching them humility.

  87. athena says

    Dad: Will Smith
    Son: Jaden Smith
    Their children will not achieve the same level of success-in public, they lack gratitude and humility. Oh, and importantly, they lack talent.

  88. stolidog says

    Ugh. Jayden and Will Smith. Jayden will not find success, he is really just too annoying.

  92. High Steppa says

    This says Will and Jaden Smith to me, but I have no real clues. Jaden is one strange kid. I hope he fades away from the public eye – I find him annoying.

    • dagnabbit11 says

      Agreed. The whole Met thing – creepy grill + carrying around his cut off dreadlocks = a whole lotta #NO. Pretension + dumb youth is not a good look, he’d do well to dial it all WAYYY back for a while.

  93. sublimeLime says

    Will Smith
    Jaden Smith

    He will never achieve the same success as his father for a variety of reasons. The two main ones being that he has no talent and he is extremely unlikable.

  94. kittypryde777 says

    Dad: Will Smith
    Son: Jaden Smith
    Optional: Not with his current pompous, pretentious attitude

  96. ksamuelson1017 says

    Dad: Will Smith

    Son: Jaden Smith

    [Optional] No, he lacks his father’s charm.

  99. katheryn says

    Will Smith and son Jaden. I’m not really sure what career Jaden has other than hanging onto his fathers coat tails.

    • katheryn says

      This close to being first to comment ever!!!! Although we both posted at the exactly same time!!

    • Keeping Honest says

      I think you’ve got it right.

      No I don’t believe jaden has a snowballs chance

    • stevekreys says

      Jaden is filming a movie in Canada and went on a twitter rant against one of the best Hotel in Toronto and caused a huge scene–reportedly right out of Animal House in trashing the dinning area and was removed from the hotel

    • Palermo says

      he ordered ricotta pancakes and then complained that they had cheese! LOL Dumb as a rock

    • luvprue1 says

      Jaden Smith is the new face of Louis Vuitton,and he has a acting career. He was a regular on the tv show “The get down”, which was cancelled, and he set to star in Karate kid 2.

    • jophieljo says

      It’s definitely this. I don’t understand how acting like a spoiled brat and being completely ignorant constitutes artistry. I guess it’s what passes these days. He was mad because the ricotta pancakes had cheese in them…what an actual fool. I guess all the money in the world can’t teach you that ricotta is cheese?! Throwing a fit and treating people like dirt because you think the world is there to serve you is just gross. Next time try sending them back, like the rest of us underlings.

  100. avaday says

    Dad: Tom Hanks

    Son: Colin Hanks

    Do you think Sonny will achieve the same level of success as Dad? Why or why not?
    No, he won’t. Because Tom is hugely successful and it would be nearly impossible to be more popular than he is.

    • blinkandyoumight says

      …….cant remember the last time colin hanks was relevant. is he even famous??

      this blind is about jaden & his ricotta pancake freakout and will smith his father

    • Raoul Duke says

      What? Colin Hanks? Colin Hanks is a great guy, you must mean CHET Hanks who is the complete opposite. Colin is married, with kids and has a successful career and made some choices in what he’s appeared in, Chet is a wannabe rapper who recently became a babbydaddy with drama issues.

      His youngest son so far seems to a good kid too, and is going to college I believe. Doesn’t get bad press.
