Will Smith chops off Jaden's dreadlocks

Hollywood star Will Smith has chopped off his son Jaden Smith's blonde hued dreadlocks for his upcoming film "Life In A Year".

The 48-year-old star took to Facebook, where he shared a funny selfie post his son's hair transformation with him holding "The Karate Kid" actor's dreadlocks on top of his head.

"Getting Jaden Smith ready for the first day of filming #LifeInAYear... Maybe I should've used scissors," wrote Will, alongside the picture.

Jaden will be seen in the Mitja Okorn-directed film opposite actress Cara Delevingne in the romantic drama.

The movie also stars Terrence Howard and Nia Long and Will is one of the producers.
