Take a look at how netizens reacted:
A user commented on X, "What does he do? What has he accomplished to get any attention at all? Totally bizarre that he gets photographed just for being the son of a troubled actor with a hair trigger temper."
Another commented, "When the father possesses extraordinary talent and skill, yet the son seems to have inherited none of it, leaving everyone wondering how such brilliance skipped a generation." Taking a dig, a third user said, "Oh boy is this what happens when you have daddy’s money but nothing else???"
"Bro went from making movies with Jackie Chan to this," read another comment.
While netizens were puzzled, as he has often been seen in public wearing red face paint. It should be noted that Jaden's appearance comes after he was announced as Christian Louboutin's first men's creative director. The red paint symbolises the luxury brand's signature red soles.
Jaden has starred in several movies including The Pursuit of Happyness, The Karate Kid and After Earth, among others.
