Who says youth is wasted on the young? Actor Donald Glover, NBA star LeBron James and actor Jaden Smith have all made Forbes’ “30 Under 30,” a power list of who’s who in the entertainment world.
Glover, 28, is best known for his breakout performance on NBC’s “Community” as student Troy Barnes. In addition to his hilarious role, Glover is a television writer, stand-up comedian and unassuming rapper. Known as Childish Gambino, he has released several musical projects– namely Camp which sold 60,000 copies in its first week. Glover tells Forbes, “I hope I never ‘make it.’ I wake up every morning saying, ‘I got to be better.’ I don’t think I ever feel satisfied.
James– as if he needs an introduction– is the NBA All-Star currently leading the Miami Heat. Since being drafted out of high school in 2003, James has garnered many accolades including Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player and has been voted an All-Star seven times. The 27-year-old also recently opened up the retail store UNKNWN in Aventura Mall in Miami, which offers footwear and upscale streetwear brands.
Will and Jada Pinkett Smith‘s son Jaden, 13, has also made a huge splash in the entertainment pool with blockbuster hits such as “The Pursuit of Happyness” and “The Karate Kid.” Jaden’s next feature is alongside his dad in M. Night Shyamalan’s apocalyptic sci-fi “1000 A.D.”
