Will Smith's brain to be transplated into Jaden Smith's body

Veteran actor Will "Fresh Prince" Smith has today announced possible plans to take over the body of his son at some point in the next few years. Jaden Smith, known for his selfie "duck face" and confused expressions, is said to be "er, I dunno" about it.

Will, who starred in the love-story war-drama Independence Day, taught his son everything he knew about acting from a very early age, but through a diet of celebrity and a rather obvious lack of talent, most of that teaching spilled straight out of his brain. It was that very concept that apparently led the senior Smith to approach Laughingswell College, in New Virginia, with the novel idea of transferring his own brain into his son's in order to "gain a few more years on this mortal sphere".

"Will contacted us in the summer of last year," said Joanne Stokes, senior surgeon at Laughingswell College of Doctoral Surgering. "He said that he was tired of seeing his son's talent literally wash from his ears and wanted us to consider the idea of a brain swap. We first assumed that he misused the term 'literally', but no, when we saw Jaden there was a continuous wash of brain matter flowing from him.

"The operation itself is relatively straightforward. Genetically we're sound, and blood-group, and rejection wise we're happy. To be honest, there's very little to lose here."

By undergoing the change Smith is expected to be able to once again takeover roles that have delighted and fascinated worldwide audiences for the past three decades; it is hoped that his name will soon be assigned to the follow up to hit film story Wild Wild West, and that he will soon get re-involved in a music career that has sadly, but understandably, waned as he has aged.

Other celebrity families are also likely to involve themselves if the surgery is succesful, and Gary and Jake Busey are already said to have undergone an "epic scrap".
