“I FEEL like it’s an honour, actually, for people to think I’m crazy,” said Jaden Smith.

Well, the 17-year-old son of Hollywood star Will Smith can expect to feel a whole lot more honoured after his interview with GQ.

Here are just some of the bizarre comments that Jaden made to the magazine:

ON WHERE HE’LL BE IN 10 YEARS:

“No one will know where I am in 10 years,” said Jaden.

“They’ll see me pop up, but they’ll be like, ‘Where’d you come from?’ No one will know ... I’ve been planning that since I was like 13.

“It’ll be kind of like Banksy. But in a different way. More of a social impact. Helping people. But through art installations. It’ll be like, ‘This just happened that helped a bunch of people over here. We don’t know who did it, but these symbols and things were left around, so we can only guess that it’s Jaden and the squad.’”

ON FAME:

“Me and Willow (his sister) are scientists,” said Jaden

“So everything for us is a scientific test upon humanity. And luckily we’re put in a position where we can affect large groups of human beings at one time.”

ON HIS PUBLIC IMAGE:

“People think you’re crazy,” said the After Earth star.

“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.”

ON BUILDING AN ACTUAL PYRAMID:

“It’s at my parents’ house,” he said.

“Half of a pyramid. The tip is missing, but the whole structural thing is built, and it sits at 12.5 feet tall.

“Because it’s supposed to be 14 feet tall or 16 feet tall, but the tip of the Giza pyramid is actually cut off. There’s no tip. It’s missing. So I was like, ‘I want to have a missing tip on here, too.’ Because I copied the exact 57.1 degrees that the Giza pyramid is.”

ON ALWAYS LEARNING:

“I rarely go to parties,” said Jaden.

“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.

“No summer break, no weekends. We learn every single day.”
