Going retro! Jaden Smith sports a massive afro wig and flares as he films The Get Down in New York

Jaden was back on the set of his Netflix series The Get Down on Friday.

The 17-year-old star was wearing a big afro wig as he shot scenes in Brooklyn against the backdrop of a graffiti-covered wall and piles of rubble and bricks.

The teen son of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith wore blue flared jeans and a fitted black top as he joined his co-stars.

Jaden plays Marcus 'Dizzee' Kipling, a 'psychedelically talented and enigmatic graffiti writer' from the Bronx in the 13-episode hip-hop series. 

Even the actor's jeans were covered in graffiti-like paint designs and splatters and he wore classic black and white canvas sneakers on his feet.

Completing his look was a key pendant necklace and a large buckle belt.
