Will Smith: "The kids can do anything they want"

For Will Smith's children Trey, 15, Jaden Christopher Syre, 10 next month, and Willow Camille Reign, 7 ½, the path to their dad's heart goes straight through his funny bone. In a new interview with USA Today, the 39-year-old actor shared his theory that "as long as your characters are harmless, or in pain, they can be funny." In turn, Will said, his children are given some leeway when they're being particularly humorous. He said,

The kids can do anything they want, as long as Daddy thinks it's funny. And artistically, that's where you need to be, too. You have to find the humor in things.

Willow and Jaden are Will's children with wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith; Trey is Will's child from a previous relationship.
