Willow Smith Growing Up Too Quickly

Is Willow Smith Growing Up Too Quickly?

Willow Smith Music Star

New Music phenom, 10 year old Willow Smith stormed onto the music scene last year with her top 10 single Whip My Hair and is set to top the charts again with her new single 21 Century Girl. In addition to breaking into the music scene, Willow Smith also has a great interest in fashion. She has an extreme fashion style and has already been featured in top magazine Elle.

However some say isn’t this all too much for young Willow? Her mother, actress, film producer and wife of Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith disagrees with the rumours stating that she is letting her young daughter Willow grow up too fast. Jada goes on to say, "I don’t look at what she is doing as being an adult mentality. I think she’s simply being a creative child."

It is well know that child stars begin their careers successfully but eventually break down. “The Parent Trap” actress Lindsay Lohan made her big break in the film industry at the age of 11. While growing up, she became addicted to the Hollwood party scene. Lohan was almost fired from the film “Georgia Rule”, went through a series of car crashes, arrests and stints in rehab, she also pleaded guilty to cocaine possession and was sentenced to time in jail. I mean could it get any worse than that?

As for little Willow Smith who has already made friends with outrageous singer and fashion icon Lady GaGa, I guess we’ll just have to hope for the best and stay tuned in for her future! She does have two very strong parents that also grew up in the music and entertainment business, and both should be able to provide good guidance and balance between her childhood and her celebrity career goals and status. 

Her brother, Jaden Smith is also a very talented actor and did a great job in the new version of The Karate Kid featuring Hong Kong Mega Star Jackie Chan. With such a strong pool of talent in her family and the great guidance of her parents who are also very talented actors and musicians, we suspect both Willow and Jaden will go far in their entertainment careers.
