Willow Smith Then and Now
How cute was 7-year-old Willow Smith, the daughter of Will and Jada Smith. The sweet young actress had her first acting role, with her father, in I am Legend. The movie hit the big screen on December 2007.
At the time Will Smith talked about his little diva and said that she wanted to be just like Paris Hilton. Her daddy also went on to say: “You don’t work with Willow – you work for Willow.” He was joking of course, but how cute is that. At age 7, we bet most girls wanted to be just like Hilton too — though we suspect it was all about the puppies that Paris toted around with her.
That was then…and this is now. She is 9 and definitely qualifies as a mini-fashionista, under the watchful eye of Jada who is definitely grooming her offspring for bigger things.
Willow just signed a recording contract with Jay-Z’s record company Roc Nation. The ball is now rolling with the release of her very cool new single titled Whip My Hair.
