She wasn’t going to play his daughter, she was going to play the character’s daughter.

:yeshrug:

But you’re supposed to hook your kids up.

:ufdup:

We need to practice nepotism.
Hell naw. Idris saw what happened to Will Smith and his son. If your kid can't act, you can't ruin your own career trying to give them a shortcut to success.

He'll hook her up down the line for another project if she's truly talented. Its been a minute since Idris had a leading role. He had to make this work

im guessing he didn't want to After Earth his daughter :yeshrug:

he knew this film was trash and wanted a check, but not ruin his daughter's career at the same time


Hold up though,yall disrespecting Jadens acting a little too much:whoa:. He was really good in Pursuit Of Happiness and Karate Kid. I think he got emancipated if Im not mistaken. After Earth probably happened after that,Will aint have shyt to do with that:mjlol:. But nah,point is good child actors dont always carry that into teen/adulthood for whatever reason.
