Jaden Smith Cast In Baz Luhrmann's Music Drama 'The Get Down' on Netflix

Jaden Smith is the newest cast member of the music drama "The Get Down" which premieres on Netflix next year. He will play Dizzzee, a psychedelically talented and enigmatic graffiti writer from the South Bronx.

Director Baz Luhrmann said in a statement (via ET):

"We as an audience have known Jaden since he was very young. Recently, Jaden has been seeking diverse and challenging roles and this is a testament to his passion to grow in the craft. In the short time he has joined our acting family, he has begun developing his The Get Down skill set, even taking lessons from the legendary graffiti artist Lady Pink of Wild Style fame, as well as steeping himself in the history and culture of the Bronx. We're all very happy with the casting of Jaden in the role of 'Dizzee' Kipling, and with his addition, the Kipling family cast is now complete."

This is interesting and all, but unfortunately unlike the rest of the universe, Baz Luhrmann is unaware that Jaden Smith cannot act. This role could have gone to a kid with actual talent and Luhrmann could have given someone a big break in the business.

Jaden obviously has a good agent thanks to his father Will Smith.

I don't believe any of this PR BS, I'm just waiting for Jaden to wear another dress.
