Washington, Jan 16 : Will Smith has said that his son Jaden is destined to be an actor - because he has natural instinct for role-play.

Smith's 10-year-old son is set to play the lead in the upcoming movie remake of the Karate Kid and his father knows that the talented youngster will be perfect.

"He just naturally has a joy, a love, for people and for emotion so it''s the perfect combination to be an actor. He is so inspired to do it," Contactmusic quoted Smith, a saying.

The father-son duo have appeared together in 2006 movie `The Pursuit Of Happyness' - and Smith was amazed to see his son''s acting ability.

"The director of The Pursuit Of Happyness, the same as Seven Pounds, (Gabriele Muccino), he didn''t speak English too well so the direction would be mumbled: ''Jayden... I need to... okay, action,'' Smith said.

"It worked, somehow. Jaden, he understands emotion, he''s really sensitive. The business is a little scary for me with him," he added. (ANI)
