Justin Bieber shares that he wants to be as cool as Jaden Smith — and we don't blame him

"Never Say Never" part 2 coming soon?

Most people want to be as cool as Justin Bieber, except Bieber. He let us all know on Wednesday afternoon that he wants to be as cool as Jaden Smith.

The singer posted an Instagram post with an adorably earnest caption, revealing to the world that he aspires to reach the levels of effortless swag that Smith has embodied on the daily since, well, probably birth.

"Can I be as cool as you are please," the singer wrote, captioning a photo of a very chill Smith walking. Unfortunately, even if Bieber sported an Iron Maiden tee, died his hair green a là Frank Ocean, and copped a very expensive Supreme bag, he probably will never be Smith. But that's okay! Cool isn't about what you wear or how many shopping bags you hold. It's about what's inside, kids.

Maybe when Bieber realizes that he is cool too, in a different way, the two can make a song about it. Never say never!
