The oddest moments from Will and Jaden Smith's father-son interview
Will and Jaden Smith aren’t just father and son — they’re costars in the upcoming M. Night Shyamalan film “After Earth,” and fellow interview subjects in the new issue of New York. The cover subjects open up about their family, whether or not they’re religious, and how parenthood is like slavery in an interview that’s unusually candid — and revealing of just how hermetic is the bubble the Smith family occupies. It doesn’t seem anyone’s told Will Smith “no” in a very long time, leading the “Wild Wild West” star to see himself as a radically independent thinker informed by the world’s entire intellectual tradition. He’s carrying that tradition on with his 14-year-old son. Here’s what we learned:
The Smiths are not, as has long been rumored, Scientologists.
Are both of you religious?
Will:
 No, we are students of world religion.
