Even Will Smith has to convince his kids he’s a “cool dad.” And being a father to two of the coolest young people on the planet, Jaden and Willow, means Smith has to work a little bit harder than most dads to do so.
Luckily, his role as Deadshot in Suicide Squad is scoring him some major cool dad points.
“This is the type of thing that, no matter how cool you think you are, your kids think you suck,” said Smith at the San Diego Comic-Con as reported by People.
“This is like the first time where I’m cool for real. The Suicide Squad, I don’t know what it is, but something about this idea and something about this cast has really captured something,” he said.
“So my kids are doing what I say, at least for the next couple of months,” Smith joked.
