To think that Will Smith and his son are the most irritating duo?

Just watching them together on the Graham Norton show.....

Will Smith is more than a little annoying at the best of times but teamed up with his son who it's been decided is now also a 'star' the levels of annoyingness have now reached epic levels. It's really too much for my nerves!

Oh and now Michael Douglas has appeared . . . . . . . his son is a cautionary tale and a half for any celeb Dad.

Down with discommodious dynasties I say.

Meant to say yabu. And agree too American is Hmm.

I liked it. Will Smith completely understands his role on a chat show, he never looks bored or sick of doing publicity - tv producers must love him. I'd rather watch him and his son than someone like Russell Crow or Bruce Willis who seem so pained and resentful at being expected to publicise something they're being payed millions for.

He's just giving the audience what they want.

I loved it! I've always like Will Smith and always end up amiling at any interview I read or TV show I watch.

His son was annoying though, but Carlton coming on soooo made up for it!

I adore Will Smith, very sad about his involvement with Scientology (it's a bit unclear exactly how Scientologist he is, but it's definitely non-zero).

ShadeofViolet · 28/05/2013 08:07

I loved it too. I have watched it on Youtube about 10 times already because it makes me smile.

I love Graham and how he seems extremely surprised that the DJ booth and Jazzy Jeff are there.

DeskPlanner · 28/05/2013 08:25

Maras, I'd forgotten all about that Will and Grace episode. Michael Douglas was brilliant in it.

SkinnybitchWannabe · 28/05/2013 08:30

I loved Will Smith for years. Im a huge Fresh Prince fan and absolutely loved seeing him on there with his son.
I was abit surprised they didnt throw on a slightly 'bonkers' Brit, like when Miriam Margoyles was on with Will.i.am...that show was hilarious.
Alan Carr had brits on his show..Helen Flannagan..say no more Hmm

extracrunchy · 28/05/2013 08:38

Ugh YANBU. The arrogance of that kid...

randgirl · 28/05/2013 08:42

I actually feel sorry for Jaden... he has two famous parents and so has so much to live up to. I wonder if he would have gone this route if he just a normal bog standard family.

And all i can say is that thank goodness willow hasnt released another song lately Grin

Will Smith has an older son whom we hear very little about.

trixymalixy · 28/05/2013 08:45

I loved it. They were very entertaining.

Tee2072 · 28/05/2013 08:46

So why is okay to not like him because he's a Scientologist but not if he was, say, a Muslim?

It might be a slightly strange religion, but it's still a religion.

GiveMumABreak · 28/05/2013 08:47

They are cringeworthy indeed! (The singing daughter is even worse!)

BeckAndCall · 28/05/2013 08:51

Not everyone would agree that Scientology is a religion - some would say its a cult. Those with education in philosophy or theology would know best how to define it but there's a difference between religions and cults.

And besides, for me, Will Smith is the very definition of cool - always happy to watch him!

Rindercella · 28/05/2013 09:00

I liked it, but I like Will Smith (he is most definitely improving with age Grin ).

So pleased to see Michael Douglas looking so well. the Liberace film looks brilliant.

yabu OP.

AntoinetteCosway · 28/05/2013 09:06

I LOVE Will Smith so YABU for not adoring him at all times Grin I thought Heather Graham was cringy though. She made a self-harm 'joke'!! Wtf...

AntoinetteCosway · 28/05/2013 09:07

Actually, just to continue the Will Smith love, (did I mention I love him?) he is the one celebrity I think I would be upset about if he turned out to be a dick in real life. He just seems so nice and so genuine. I'd be gutted if it was an act, while with lots of other celebs I assume it's an act in the first place.

VivaLeBeaver · 28/05/2013 09:09

I think Jayden has been hanging out with bieber too much. He comes across as up himself and for what? I don't know any songs of his, he's been in a couple of films where his dad has obviously landed him his part. Hmm

Apparently he's asked his parents for his own house for his 15th birthday as he wants to live on his own and they're considering it.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 28/05/2013 09:11

I love Will Smith. He comes across as a genuinely nice guy. And Carlton dancing made my night. YABU

threesypeesy · 28/05/2013 09:13

I loved it they were fab, have re-watched it several times.

They appear to have a very close relationship and are both fantastic actor's. How can you not love will smith?

Mollydoggerson · 28/05/2013 09:13

Have to say I found the duo awkward and unfunny.

Kinda like mothers and their toddlers, we know you love them and think the sun shines out of their backsides, but the rest of us are just being polite we really don't care....

Anyway I've no interest in the movie, it looks like muck.

Bah! humbug!

ShadeofViolet · 28/05/2013 09:14

I dont think Jaden has released any music, just his sister Willow.

CookieLady · 28/05/2013 09:14

Antoinette I also thought Heather Graham's joke was insensitive Angry. Her dancing was v cringe worthy, though.

VivaLeBeaver · 28/05/2013 09:15

Jayden must have released something, he's touring with Justin bieber as his support act.
