Jaden Smith may be only 14 years old but, at his age, he already boasts a very impressive resume. He will be seen next in “After Earth” opposite his father and, to promote it, he’s opening up to Wonderland Magazine on a variety of topics.

Perhaps the most intriguing is his belief in alien life.

Granted, he’s not alone in thinking that man can’t possibly be alone in this grand Universe, but Jaden has something others don’t: confirmation of alien life from the President of the United States, more or less.

“I like aliens! I think aliens are really cool, because they exist,” he says in a very serious tone.

When he and the family visited the White House, the young actor / rapper / fashion designer got to meet the President and exchange impressions on aliens.

“I talked to President Obama about extraterrestrials. He said he could neither confirm nor deny the existence of aliens, which means they’re real. If people think we’re the only people that live in this universe, then something is wrong with them,” he adds.

He also talks about his friendship with Kylie Jenner, his fashion label, and his music. He says he doesn’t know how to be other than honest in his rap lyrics, which is a pretty amazing thing in a boy his age.

“That’s the type of artist I am. I let it flow out the way it’s going to flow out, and I don’t care what people are going to think about it,” Jaden tells Wonderland.

“It’s really like a journey into my life – if you listen and pay attention to the lyrics. People like to hear honest things and that’s what really makes an artist. If you’re lying, you can disconnect from the story, and if you disconnect from the story then people won’t like you anymore,” he adds.
