Jaden Smith, the 26-year-old son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, is opening up about his journey of embracing his so-called "weirdness" after years of trying to fit in.
 



In a candid post on X (formerly Twitter) on October 19, Jaden explained that his past quirky behavior wasn’t an act, but a genuine attempt to appear "normal." "All the weird s*** you’ve ever seen me do was me thinking I was totally normal," he admitted, noting that now he sometimes acts "weird on purpose" because he's grown more comfortable with himself. Reflecting on his personal growth, Jaden shared that he no longer feels the need to conform to societal expectations and is instead embracing his individuality. This revelation comes after a recent interview where he discussed his frustration with people trying to follow the "normal" path, especially in art, and how he's now focused on being his true self.
