Jaden Willow Smith Steven Klein Interview Magazine

Willow And Jaden Smith Get Their First Interview Magazine Cover

It’s really no secret that Willow and Jaden Smith are both incredibly good looking, talented and fashionable — while also pretty effin’ weird (let’s face it). But we are extremely to happy to see Will and Jada’s kids on the cover of Interview Magazine, being interviewed by Pharrell Williams no less.

Check out some excerpts below then flip the page for photos taken by the great Steven Klein.

PHARRELL: I love it. The positive path and the trajectory that you guys are on, where does that come from? Who are your biggest inspirations?

WILLOW: My parents. Growing up, all I saw was my parents trying to be the best people they could be, and people coming to them for wisdom, coming to them for guidance, and them not putting themselves on a pedestal, but literally being face-to-face with these people and saying, “I’m no better than you, but the fact that you’re coming to me to reach some sort of enlightenment or to shine a light on something, that makes me feel love and gratitude for you.” They always give back what people give to them. And sometimes they keep giving and giving and giving. And some people don’t feel like they need to give anything back because it’s like, “Oh, if you’re famous, you can just keep giving, and it doesn’t matter.” It’s not just about money. It’s not just about giving people gifts or whatever. What my parents have given to me is not anything that has to do with money or success or anything that society says people should be focusing on—it’s something spiritual that only certain people can grasp and accept. And that’s how I act and move in the world today.

JADEN: I 100 percent agree with Willow on that one. My parents are definitely my biggest role models. And that’s where me and Willow both pull all of our inspiration from to change the world. It all comes from a concept of affecting the world in a positive way and leaving it better than it was than when we came. I feel like that enters into all types of different areas because there are so many different outlets that life has to offer for us. That goes into technology, into music. That goes into science, into spirituality, into education. Where me and Willow come from, a lot of it is trying to make society more efficient, so that kids don’t cry, like, “Why do I have to go to school?” Instead, kids are like, “Yeah! I’m so glad to go to school! I’m a better person than I was yesterday, and I can help people.”

WILLOW: Exactly!

JADEN: That’s we’re trying to get to. Where every kid goes to school, and like 50 percent of children don’t drop out. Where they feel like their teachers are actually on their side. Or they feel like law enforcement is actually on their side. We want to create a society that is working for us and with us—and we’re working for society, not against it.

They’re so thoughtful and high minded. Will and Jada made some really special little beings didn’t they?

PHARRELL: So how did your interest in fashion begin? I know it’s a really lame question. But I’m sure people want to know at what point you recognized that you wanted to do it.

WILLOW: Me and Jaden, when we were younger … [laughs] Ooh! We would wear the craziest things. Jaden would only wear his Spider-Man costume. I would freaking mismatch every single shirt and pants in my closet. We would just be so rambunctious with our clothing choices. And when we were old enough to start dressing ourselves, my mom was like, “Are you sure you want to go out like that?” And me and Jaden would be like, “You know what? Yes.” And she’d totally accept it. I feel like that’s where most of our confidence comes from. Because we weren’t told, “Oh, you don’t look good in that. You look crazy. People are gonna think this about you.” Like, obviously, that was going to be happening regardless, but it wasn’t like that ruled what we did or the choices that we made.

JADEN: Nobody knows that Willow and I were much, much cooler before. Like, before people were looking at the things that we were doing, we were so much more, like, method with fashion. We really went all the way. We went the extra mile on everything because there was no one looking at us. We’ve been through the roof, with ludicrous fashion ideas since we were extremely young.

PHARRELL: Well, it led to being a Chanel ambassador and the face of Vuitton, no?

WILLOW: Yeah, it really did. [laughs]

JADEN: We’re so blessed! And we’re so, so proud. And thankful.

WILLOW: If we didn’t have the kind of exposure to the world that we do now, people wouldn’t hear the positive thoughts that we have. It’s amazing to be able to work with iconic people and to have my name on something that’s so beautiful, but at the same time, the only reason why I do it is so that I can have more of a reach to different kinds of people and spread my message. The only thing that really matters is spreading love and light and acceptance and unity throughout the entire world in any way that you possibly can.

So we’re just gonna not ask Jaden about wearing dresses? Okay then.

PHARRELL: Do you guys have any philosophical questions that you’d like to present to the world that’s going to read this?

JADEN: A question I would like to present to the world is: Where is the love? And what are we doing? Who’s making the decisions that are putting us in the predicaments that we are in, with all of these people losing their lives around the world in so many different ways? I feel like a serious revolution needs to take place in order for human beings to evolve in a way where we can truly exist as a society. Because, right now, we do not act as a true society. We act as a world under terror, just scrambling to survive.

WILLOW: That’s definitely one of my biggest questions. Another is: How are humans going to start taking responsibility for the actions that they take? When are we going to stop pointing the finger at someone else for something we do unconsciously? How are we going to start being aware of those things and changing those things?

These might be some of the most real quotes we’ve ever gotten out of these two. Like these responses actually make sense. We need a revolution for true evolution. People are definitely just scrambling to survive and we definitely have too many people out there complaining and pointing fingers and not doing anything to create change.

PHARRELL: Are there any plans for college in the foreseeable future for either of you?

JADEN: 100 percent.

WILLOW: I wouldn’t say plans, but it’s a very strong possibility. I’m a huge advocate of all sciences. And my favorite—actually, not my favorite because I love all sciences—but my primary science that I study all the time is physics. It’s the mother of all sciences because it’s just how things move and how things react to the world around them. I feel like I would definitely go to college for physics.

PHARRELL: Where do you see yourself in ten years?

JADEN: Gone.

WILLOW: [laughs] Did you just say, “God”?

JADEN: I said, “Gone!”

WILLOW: I feel that. I see myself in the mountains somewhere in a tent cooking a squirrel. [laughs]

JADEN: Not a squirrel, Willow! Why!? Why a squirrel?

WILLOW: I don’t know! Because that’s probably going to be the only food I have.

JADEN: Nah, you’re going to be a vegetarian. You’ll be surviving off grass in the morning.

WILLOW: Hopefully. Yeah, bro! I want to retreat back to living off the land and just being in nature, experiencing life in the most pure, natural way possible.

JADEN: Agreed.

PHARRELL: What’s the best piece of advice that anyone’s ever given either of you? And who was it from?

WILLOW: Well, mine is from my mom. And she said, “Do you, boo boo.” [laughs] That is forever going to be the best advice.

We definitely love the photos… The interview was interesting. What did you think? Do you love Jaden and Willow?
