The 47-year-old actor, who has son Trey from a previous marriage, and Jaden and Willow with wife Jada Pinkett Smith, has no idea why the upcoming about a mercenary team of super villains has "captured something" with his offspring, but he is grateful it's given him some power in his household, reported Female First.

Speaking at the San Diego Comic-Con, he said, "This is the type of thing that, no matter how cool you think you are, your kids think you suck.

"This is like the first time where like I'm cool for real. The Suicide Squad, I don't know what it is, but something about this idea and something about this cast has really captured something."

He jokingly added, "So my kids are doing what I say, at least for the next couple of months."
