Jada turned down 'Karate Kid' role

Jada Pinkett Smith turned down a starring role in 'The Karate Kid'.

The 'Women' actress - who produced the 2010 reimagining of the classic 80s martial arts movie alongside her husband Will Smith, with their son Jaden as lead character Dre Parker - believes her son needed attention away from work, and was not willing to work both on and off screen.
