Jaden Smith has been banned from practising for his new film at home.

The 10-year-old 'Pursuit of Happyness' star is to play the lead in 'The Karate Kid' but his mum, actress Jada Pinkett Smith, won't let him attempt any stunts after he wanted to try them on her, and his father, 'Men In Black' actor Will Smith.

He has been practising his karate on me, but I stopped that because he is so strong

Jada revealed: "We're so excited about the movie. He has been practising his karate on me, but I stopped that because he is so strong. I told him, 'That's enough, I'm done, Mommy's finished!'

"I used to wrestle with both my sons, but I had to stop with Jayden when he was nine, because he was just too strong!"

Speaking at the UK premiere of 'Madagasgar: Escape 2 Africa', Jada revealed she would love to reprise her voice role as hippo Gloria for a third time.

When asked if she would sign up for another movie in the franchise, the actress replied: "I'll be there."
