Jaden Smith has comparied himself to Galileo and Banksy in an interview in which he calls himself "one of the craziest human beings to ever exist".
The 17-year-old actor, whose parents are Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, says "it's an honour" to be considered eccentric and believes he's on a par with Italian astronomer Galileo, who played a major role in the scientific revolution during the Renaissance.
The After Earth star said: "It's so much fun. It's the best thing. People think you're crazy - I feel like it's an honour, actually, for people to think I'm crazy. Because they thought Galileo was crazy, too, you know what I'm saying? I don't think I'm as revolutionary as Galileo, but I don't think I'm not as revolutionary as Galileo.
"I rarely go to parties. My whole life is just dedicated on learning and breaking, like, the craziest records of life, and being like one of the craziest human beings to ever exist. That's me."
Jaden hinted he's planning to turn his back on Hollywood in the future to study at MIT [Massachusetts Institute of Technology], so he can "bring in new technologies into the world"
