Fresh off his impromptu performance of the 1998 Big Willie Style banger "Miami" at a Suicide Squad party in Florida, Will Smith hit up Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show on Thursday night to chop it up about all things Squad and all things fam. During his awesomely long discussion with Fallon, Big Will even revealed that his son, Jaden Smith, recently tricked him into celebrating his 18th birthday in London with some presumably fine tequila.

But first, here's Will Smith trying out a few different (but equally monumental) Tonight Show entrances:

"We just had our first really good vacation," Smith told Fallon. "It was Jaden's birthday. He just turned 18. He has a show coming out called The Get Down so he was promoting in London. So he was like, 'Guys, you know, everybody should come to London and we'll just celebrate my birthday there!'" Smith added that he was touched by the invitation, which provided the whole fam a rare chance to really kick back and hang out. But then he revealed Jaden's other motive: some celebratory tequila.

"Then we go to a restaurant and Jaden was just particularly excited, you know?" Will said. "So we sit down at the restaurant and he looks at the waiter and he says, 'I'll have a tequila!' and I said, 'Whoa, man, hold up! What're you doing?' and he says, 'The drinking age is 18 in England, Dad!'" Well played, Jaden.

Thankfully, Will had plenty more to share with Fallon and crew, including some parenting advice and some Suicide Squad intel. Peep that below:
