Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2010

Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith, starring in Karate Kid, spoke briefly with a Los Angeles Times reporter at the recent Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards. A short interview with journalist Amy Kaufman, who works for the Los Angeles Times, was posted on YouTube.

Amy Kaufman: Let's get started. So, the film will be released in June. Are you guys looking forward to the release?

Jaden Smith: Yes Yes. Are looking forward to.

Amy Kaufman: I watched the video and you often demonstrate martial arts there. How long have you been training?

Jaden Smith: Three months before filming, four months during filming, and I continue to train.

Amy Kaufman: Wow! How was it working with Jaden? Were you strict with him?

Jackie Chan: Right away I was a little nervous. You see, he is Will Smith's son, maybe he is very arrogant... But, in fact, it's not like that. He doesn’t have his head in the clouds, he does everything possible, he learned everything without complaint. That's why I taught him everything. And now I want my son...

Amy Kaufman: Do you want to adopt him?

Jackie Chan: Yes, I want to adopt him, but what about Will Smith? Can I adopt him?

Amy Kaufman: Jade, how do you feel about this?

Jaden Smith: I don’t bother my head with such nonsense.

Amy Kaufman: Did your dad give you any advice about the film?

Jaden Smith: Yes. You must always be in character. You shouldn’t try to work for the sake of public opinion – you need to work for the public.

Amy Kaufman: You sound like a true professional now.

Amy Kaufman: Okay, you guys would like to...(?) tonight...Jackie, how do you handle that? …(?)…

Jackie Chan: No, it would be an honor for me. Try to hit him.

Amy Kaufman: Okay, great... Thanks, guys.
