Smith and his family are in China filming the remake of The Karate Kid, which stars his son Jaden, and the soccer stars are in Beijing for their Italian Supercup Match at the city's National Stadium on Saturday (08Aug09).

The Men In Black star and his soccer-mad eldest son Trey have been invited to attend the big game between Lazio and Inter by his hotel suite neighbours and superstars Tommaso Rocchi and Julio Cruz have handed the Hollywood icon team shirts to wear to the match.

Smith is a longtime soccer watcher and recently asked LA Galaxy and England midfielder David Beckham to give him playing tips.

Jaden has followed in the footsteps his father and will lead the cast in the remake of the 1984 cult classic The Karate Kid.

Jaden made his film debut. alongside his father, back in The Pursuit of Happyness and was last on the big screen last year in The Day The Earth Stood Still.
