Actor Will Smith says his 16-year-old son Jaden urged him to go to the gym before starring alongside Margot Robbie in the film "Focus".

Jaden urged his 46-year-old father to tone-up after he was cast alongside the 24-year-old Australian beauty in the romantic comedy-drama, in which he plays a veteran con artist who takes Robbie's on-screen character Jess under his wing, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Speaking on the British TV show "Good Morning Britain", Smith said: "When Margot got hired for the film, Jaden said: "Get in the gym - do not embarrass me."
