Her 'buddy': Kendall Jenner shares photo with Jaden Smith after he lands major role in slavery drama The Good Lord Bird
Kylie Jenner calls him her 'best guy friend' and it looks like he's won over her sister too, as Kendall Jenner posted a picture of her laughing with Jaden Smith.
In the picture poster Friday the son of actor Will Smith appeared to be giving the reality TV star a low five, slapping his hand against her open palms. The 18-year-old captioned the picture 'buddy.'
They may have been celebrating the news that he landed his most challenging role to date, the lead part in The Good Lord Bird, according to Deadline.

The 15-year-old rising star will portray Henry 'Onion' Shackleford in a big-screen adaptation of the 2013 novel by James McBride.
The movie will be told through Jaden's character's eyes as he meets radical slavery abolitionist John Brown, to be played by Liev Schreiber, in 1856 Kansas and follows him on his crusade.
At their first meeting, Brown mistakes Shackleford for a girl as he is wearing a dress, which he continues to do for most of the plot of the novel.
Brown – based on a real historical figure - famously didn't believe in the notion of peaceful resistance and advocated fighting the system of slavery through violence, feeling harm done to slave owners was God's punishment.
Along their journey, Shackleford and Brown meet other leading lights of social reform including Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman.
The story also sees them take part in the Raid on Harpers Ferry, an armed slave revolt in 1859 organised by Brown where his gang seized a United States arsenal in Virginia.
