Master and disciple! Karate Kid Jaden Smith supports Jackie Chan at Hollywood handprint ceremony
He was taught some nifty moves by the martial arts legend in The Karate Kid.
And Jaden Smith showed his appreciation for Jackie Chan by turning out for his handprint ceremony in Hollywood on Thursday.
He joined the 59-year-old's Rush Hour buddy Chris Tucker as his hand and foot prints were set in cement.
Ironically the Hong Kong-born star was the first actor from his country to be honoured at the famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
The legendary stuntman wore a striped beige Nehru jacket with a mandarin collar, tan pants and white sneakers for the ceremony.
Jackie previously received a sidewalk star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2002, but the handprint ceremony is a more exclusive honour.
Other Hollywood stars who have been honoured with cement impressions include Charlie Chaplin, Shirley Temple, Judy Garland, Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe and Jaden's father, Will Smith.
Jackie made a name for himself by performing most of his own stunts throughout his lengthy career.
He's been critically acclaimed over the decades for matching his kung-fu abilities with strong comedic timing.
