Will Smith Comments On Son Jaden Wearing Dresses

Jaden Smith's unique fashion choices have been the subject of much comment on this page.

During these discussions, many have wondered what Will Smith thinks of his son's embrace of what would traditionally be considered women's clothing.

Will addressed Jaden's dress and his own lax parenting style during an interview with BBC1.

"I think that may have been a mistake. We may have gone too far," a laughing Smith said of his hands-off parenting.

"There's a really powerful internal quality as an artist that as parents we encourage. You got to get out on the edge. You have to try things and be comfortable doing things that people don't agree with," Smith explained. "And you have to be comfortable doing things that you could fail. Jaden is 100 percent fearless. He will do anything. As a parent it's scary, it's really terrifying. But he is completely willing to live and die by his own artistic decisions, and he just doesn't concern himself with what people think."
