Jackie Chan 'would adopt Jaden Smith'

Jackie Chan has revealed that he would consider adopting Jaden Smith because they get on so well.

Chan, who stars alongside Smith in the remake of The Karate Kid, admitted that he would like to take the 12-year old to China to perfect his martial arts skills.

Speaking to The Mirror, he said: "After the movie I tell his parents, 'Let him stay in China for three months'.

"Trust me. I will take care of him. I'm sure with three months' training he can get much better, because he has this kind of talent. Whatever I teach him he learns right away. Besides, he can sing, he can dance, he can rap. He just has talent.

"I tell Will Smith, 'Can I adopt your son?' That's how much I love him. He's the young Jackie Chan."

The Karate Kid is released in the UK on July 28.
