Jaden Smith wanted to drink for his 18th birthday and he tricked his father Will Smith to get what he wanted. Will hilariously recounted the story during a visit to "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" to promote his DC antihero movie "Suicide Squad".
Knowing that the legal drinking age in the States is 21, a sneaky Jaden asked his family to celebrate his birthday in London. "I was like, 'Wow,' like that's cool," Will said. "So we go and hang out for his birthday and I'm like, 'Man, that's really good. He wanted his family with him.' "
They went to a Calvin Harris concert before heading to a restaurant for dinner where he was caught off guard when Jaden ordered alcohol. "Jaden was just particularly excited," he remembered. "And we sit down and he looked at the waiter and he says, 'I'll have a tequila.' "
"I said 'Woah, woah man. Hold up. What [are] you doing?" Will continued. "And he says, 'The drinking age is 18 in England, Dad.' I was like, 'You joker!' I was thinking fast. I said, 'Oh, but hold on, hold on. It's only noon in L.A. and you weren't born 'til 4, so you're not 18 yet!' "
