It turns out parents are never satisfied, even if you are an A-List actor.
As Will Smith celebrated his son Jaden’s birthday, the Men In Black star made some not-so-subtle hints about wanting a grandchild.
In fact, the rapper and actor even took to teasing his son in the birthday tribute on Instagram about the matter.
Sharing a stunning black and white photograph on Instagram, he gushed about his younger son Jaden.

Marking Jaden's milestone 25th birthday, Smith wrote in the caption: “Happy Birthday, J-Diggy. It’s crazy that you’re 25?!?!”
However, the former sitcom star couldn’t resist making a joke at his son’s expense.
He added: “When I was 25 I had a 2 yr. old… I’m just sayin’… Wha’s up? What you doin’ over there?” (Bit harsh)

Fans couldn’t help but laugh at the similarities between the 54-year-old A-lister and their own parents in the comments.
Clearly tickled by the birthday tribute, one user even joked: “Parents are all the same, I swear.”
Others agreed, with a second user writing: "Another way of saying giving me a child lol," and a third writing: “…my mom just reminded me recently that at my age she had all six of us lolol…happy birthday.”
However, some Instagram users praised Jaden for waiting until the time was right for him and not succumbing to parental pressure.

A fan even pointedly wrote: “These adult kids aren’t having kids anytime soon…they’re enjoying life as they should.”
To which another replied: “No rush on being the fresh PopPop of Bel Air.”
At 25, Jaden is the middle son of the Fresh Prince star with Smith also has an elder son Trey, 30, from his first marriage.

The actor also shares a daughter, Willow, 22, with Jada Pinkett Smith - who thankfully wasn’t as pushy in her birthday post.
Instead, the Gotham actor simply wished her son a happy birthday and shared a sweet photo of him as an infant in her arms.
She also uploaded a more recent photograph of them at an event together, with the mother and son duo dressed to the nines.
In the caption, she wrote: “Happy 25th Birthday my sweet, sweet Jaden!”

Here’s hoping Jaden celebrates a few more birthdays before he decides to settle down if that's what's right for him.
