Will Smith was left red-faced when his son asked US President Barack Obama about aliens during a visit to the White House.
The star of extraterrestrial franchise 'Men in Black' recalled during an interview on BBC Radio 1 how his family was enjoying a guided tour of the iconic building when Jaden interrupted to find out more about space activity.
The actor had specifically told his 13-year-old son not to touch upon the subject and tried to intervene, but Obama took it in good humour.
Speaking on the radio show Smith said: "The night before, Jaden had said to me, 'Dad, I gotta ask the president about the aliens,' and I'm like, 'Dude, no, it's not cool. Do not ask the president!' So we get into the situation room and Jaden gets this look in his eyes and he asks, 'What's my punishment?'".
"And Barack is starting [to talk] about this situation room and Jaden says, 'Excuse me Mr. President' and Barack said, 'Don't tell me.' And in perfect form - and this is why he is the president - he stopped and looked at Jaden and said, 'The aliens, right? Okay, I can neither confirm or deny the existence of extraterrestrials, but I can tell you if there had been a top secret meeting, and if there would have been a discussion about it, it would have taken place in this room.'"
On the radio show Smith also spoke about his family's hectic schedules.
With himself and his wife Jada being successful movie stars, and their two children Jaden and daughter Willow, 11, establishing entertainment careers for themselves, the Smith clan hasn't got time to think about holidays.
But the actor explained that each family member is having a "fantastic" time and they use the quiet winter period to be together.
"It's a beautiful time for us; we've got movies and music," Smith said.
"Jaden and I are actually working together and Willow's about to do Annie, the film version. Good times in the Smith family."
