Playing barber is a great father-son activity. Just ask Will and Jaden Smith.

Will demonstrated his hair cutting skills while chopping off Jaden's dreads in preparation for an upcoming movie role. The Fresh Prince star showed off the process on Facebook, writing, "Getting Jaden Smith ready for the first day of filming #LifeInAYear...maybe I should’ve used scissors?!"

It seems like Will wasn't content with just cutting off his son's hair, he also wanted to see what he would look like with blonde dreadlocks.

This beautiful father-son moment also gave us the best reaction meme to use when our parents are embarrassing us. Thanks, Will. Sorry, Jaden.
