(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jada Pinkett Smith has recalled the crazy moment she first saw herself on screen.

The 39-year-old actress is now one of Hollywoods most in-demand leading ladies, although she admits it was a long struggle before her career took off. Jada first began appearing on TV in the early 90s, starring in shows including True Colors, Doogie Howser and 21 Jump Street. She remembers settling down with her mom to watch her performances, and the proud parent getting particularly emotional.

It was crazy. I remember my mother being extremely excited! she laughed to the British edition of OK! magazine.

Jada has been married to actor Will Smith since 1997, and their two children Willow, ten, and Jaden, 12, have both launched themselves into the showbiz world. Jaden is a rising movie star, while Willow is enjoying success as a pop star. Jada admits she behaves in just the same way as her mom did when she sees her kids on screen.

Now Im like that when I see my kids Willow or Jaden on TV, she smiled. (C) Cover Media
