Jaden Smith is a hands-on guy who likes to create his own stuff, ranging from clothing to furniture. “Like, the clothes I’m wearing right now, done it on my own. I built my own bed, I built my own closet, um, I built two closets, I built four beds,” he explained in that interview with GQ, adding, “I built, um, one pyramid.”
Say what? “It’s at my parents’ house,” he revealed, admitting he hadn’t managed to complete the entire project. “Half of a pyramid. The tip is missing, but the whole structural thing is built, and it sits at 12.5 feet tall,” he said, revealing his intention was to create an exact replica, to scale, of the Great Pyramid at Giza. “So I was like, ‘I want to have a missing tip on here, too.’ Because I copied the exact 57.1 degrees that the Giza pyramid is,” Smith explained.
As for why he built a pyramid in his parents’ backyard, he explained that the project was an outgrowth of the “mystery school” in which he studied with sister Willow as an exploration of various mathematical concepts. “So I’m studying trigonometry and building pyramids,” he told I-D Magazine, according to Vibe. “I’m about to build three more that I’m going to be living in, sleeping in and spending all my time in.”
