The
son and daughter of Will and Jada covers bizarre interview Magazine. Where Willow claim she can
control time and Jaden compare himself to Galileo.
Willow, 15, and Jaden, 18, were grilled by Pharrell Williams for the new issue of Interview magazine, which they grace the cover of.
And
when asked where they see themselves 10 years from now, Jaden said
simply 'gone', while Willow added: 'I feel that. I see myself in the
mountains somewhere in a tent cooking a squirrel.'
The
siblings also claimed older generations don't understand them, said
they are 'trying to make society more efficient' and were 'much cooler'
before they became well-known, and revealed what they have learned from
their famous parents.
Willow
said her parents have been her biggest inspiration, explaining:
'Growing up, all I saw was my parents trying to be the best people they
could be, and people coming to them for wisdom, coming to them for
guidance, and them not putting themselves on a pedestal, but literally
being face-to-face with these people and saying, “I’m no better than
you, but the fact that you’re coming to me to reach some sort of
enlightenment or to shine a light on some- thing, that makes me feel
love and gratitude for you.”
'They
always give back what people give to them. And sometimes they keep
giving and giving and giving. And some people don’t feel like they need
to give anything back because it’s like, “Oh, if you’re famous, you can
just keep giving, and it doesn’t matter.”'
She
added: 'It’s not just about money. It’s not just about giving people
gifts or whatever. What my parents have given to me is not anything that
has to do with money or success or anything that society says people
should be focusing on—it’s something spiritual that only certain people
can grasp and accept. And that’s how I act and move in the world today.'
And
Jaden agreed: 'My parents are definitely my biggest role models. And
that’s where me and Willow both pull all of our inspiration from to
change the world. It all comes from a concept of affecting the world in a
positive way and leaving it better than it was than when we came.
'I
feel like that enters into all types of different areas because there
are so many different outlets that life has to offer for us. That goes
into technology, into music. That goes into science, into spirituality,
into education.
'Where
me and Willow come from, a lot of it is trying to make society more
efficient, so that kids don’t cry, like, “Why do I have to go to
school?” Instead, kids are like, “Yeah! I’m so glad to go to school! I’m
a better person than I was yesterday, and I can help people.”'
The
pair, who describe themselves as being like identical twins, said they
became close because they chose to hang out together, instead of being
forced to by their parents.
'It’s
crazy, the sibling dynamic. I could’ve spent my entire childhood like,
“I have to love this person.” And it becomes a chore,' Willow explained.
'But
our parents were never like, “You have to love them.” It was more like,
“You have your life. He has his life. And when you guys want to come
together, when you guys want to commune, that’s up to you.”
'And
throughout us realizing ourselves and realizing each other, we just
opened our eyes and were like, “Damn, you are the yin to my yang.” Not a
lot of siblings have that opportunity, because they’re always being
pushed together so much. They need their time apart in order to realize
themselves and realize who they are.'
Meanwhile
Jaden discussed their unique styles, and said they were more 'method'
with their clothing choices when they were younger.
'Nobody
knows that Willow and I were much, much cooler before. Like, before
people were looking at the things that we were doing, we were so much
more, like, method with fashion,' he said.
'We
really went all the way. We went the extra mile on every- thing because
there was no one looking at us. We’ve been through the roof, with
ludicrous fashion ideas since we were extremely young.'
Willow
- who chimed in to say that Jaden 'would only wear his Spider-Man
costume' as a child - also said their mother's acceptance of their odd
fashion choices helped them to be more confident in themselves.
'We
would just be so rambunctious with our clothing choices,' she said.
'And when we were old enough to start dressing ourselves, my mom was
like, “Are you sure you want to go out like that?” And me and Jaden
would be like, “You know what? Yes.” And she’d totally accept it.
'I
feel like that’s where most of our confidence comes from. Because we
weren’t told, “Oh, you don’t look good in that. You look crazy. People
are gonna think this about you.” Like, obviously, that was going to be
happening regardless, but it wasn’t like that ruled what we did or the
choices that we made.'
They
also claimed that older generations don't understand them, with Willow
explaining: 'It seems like they don’t understand our thought process.
Or, like, things have happened in the past that they’re still mad about.
'We
want to accept them and move forward. I mean, I can definitely see
things that have happened in the past that they’re holding on to and
things that are happening right now that bog them down, but this
generation wants to transcend them.'
The pair finished off with some philosophical questions which they wanted to put out into the world.
'Where
is the love? And what are we doing? Who’s making the decisions that are
putting us in the predicaments that we are in, with all of these people
losing their lives around the world in so many different ways?' Jaden
asked.
'I
feel like a serious revolution needs to take place in order for human
beings to evolve in a way where we can truly exist as a society.
Because, right now, we do not act as a true society. We act as a world
under terror, just scrambling to survive.'
And
Willow added: 'How are humans going to start taking responsibility for
the actions that they take? When are we going to stop pointing the
finger at someone else for something we do unconsciously? How are we
going to start being aware of those things and changing those things?'
The
magazine shoot, which was shot by Steven Klein, saw Willow and Jaden in
matching striking black outfits, at one point bouncing on a
trampoline.
While the duo have both been making waves in the world of celebrity, this marked their first cover together.
Willow
launched a singing career before the age of 10 and last year signed to
Kendall Jenner's modelling agency The Society Management.
Meanwhile
Jaden can currently be seen starring in Baz Luhrmann's Netflix series
The Get Down, having previously appeared in After Earth and The Karate
Kid.
