2. His favorite emoji is the square.
In true Jaden Smith fashion, the often baffling teenager has a truly puzzling favorite emoji: the square. We’ve got no words for this one. But at least Jaden is using an actual phone these days.
Jaden: did u get my message?
Will: no ur calling from boxed water again
J: then how r we talking now?
W: wow idk pic.twitter.com/xVeHSkXGig— Pigeons & Planes (@PigsAndPlans) April 25, 2016
3. He wants to see a female president take office.
Jaden’s always been outspoken about his political views, but his recent eighteenth birthday gives those opinions real weight. While the star has yet to pledge support to any current candidate, Jaden ”would love” for the next president to be female (though he’d also support a run for Kanye West).
I would love for there to be a female president. It hasn’t happened, so that’s why it should happen.

He’s a die-hard Twilight fan.
Jaden is infamous for name-dropping complex texts like The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life among his favorite reads (and even penning philosophical essays of his own). But digging deeper into Jaden's book and film choices, we finally get a sign that the star is, in fact, an actual teenager.
Jaden is a dedicated fan of the Twilight series, and at one point even wanted to star in the fourth film. (He’s Team Edward, in case you were wondering.)

5. He's most embarrassed by being kissed on the mouth by his dad.
Jaden isn't embarrassed easily, but he admitted in a 2013 interview that there is one thing that he isn't comfortable with:
"I'm kind of always surrounded by people I'm comfortable with, so it's hard to get embarrassed if you're just around family and friends. But it's pretty embarrassing when my dad tries to kiss me on the mouth in public. That's pretty embarrassing. We were in Korea, he tried to kiss me on my mouth in the press conference. He tried to make a heart with our hands, like this. I was against that as well. And on Ellen he tried to kiss me, and I almost flipped the couch over, so that was a good time. I appreciate the love, but there's a time and a place to kiss somebody."
7. He’s a follower of alleged psychic Edgar Cayce.
Jaden’s favorite philosopher is Edgar Cayce, an American mystic often referred to as the father of holistic medicine or the “Sleeping Prophet.” Before his death in 1945, the alleged psychic was known for giving “readings” on everything from reincarnation to future wars while in a state of trance. But Jaden might need a little help spelling that name right.

8. For a time, Jaden and his sister Willow shopped in very different places.
With his eye-catching, gender-fluid outfits and huge commercial campaigns, Jaden’s a known fashion influencer—and for a time, he only dabbled in the finest threads. Jaden’s father, Will said that unlike his daughter Willow, who preferred Target, Jaden developed a penchant for Louis Vuitton around 14 years old, and at one point made a pit stop at Cartier every weekend for a month.

10. He once built a replica of the pyramid of Giza in his backyard.
Last year, Jaden built a 12.5-foot replica of the Giza pyramid in his parents’ backyard, because of course he did. With a slope of exactly 57.1 degrees and an intentionally missing tip, the pyramid is a perfect miniature version of the ancient Egyptian tomb. It’s not the only pyramid in Jaden’s repertoire—he’s got a matching 3-foot pyramid in his room, too. Illuminati conspirators, have at it.
14. He treats fame as a social experiment.
Me and Willow are scientists, so everything for us is a scientific test upon humanity. And luckily we're put in a position where we can affect large groups of human beings at one time.
15. He attends homeschool seven days a week with no summer break.
It’s no wonder we feel puzzlingly outsmarted by Jaden and his sister Willow. The two don’t get summer break or even weekends off from their homeschool program, which they refer to, fittingly, as “Mystery School.” (Could that be where Jaden coined his own language?)
Both Jaden and Willow also claim that traditional schooling isn’t an “authentic” way to learn, preferring a more hands-on approach.
