Jaden Smith said people treated him differently after his parents, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, had a health intervention with him on "Red Table Talk."

"After the last episode, I walk in the street, and people are like, 'Oh my God' — they're like, 'Are you sick? Like, can I pick you up? Can I get you some water?'" Jaden recalled.

The 21-year-old said that people also offered him food and that his reaction was: "I'm here eating too. Like, I'm good. Like, I'm fine."

Will and Jada had spoken with Jaden about his health on the show, saying that "he just looked drained" and was lacking nutrients. Jaden, who's been a vegetarian for the past year, also said that he had stomach issues and was eating about two meals a day or sometimes just "one big meal."

On Monday's episode on Facebook Watch, the Smiths (Jaden, Will, Jada, Willow Smith, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, and Trey Smith) gathered to find out the results from health tests that were conducted three months before, after Will called an emergency family meeting that was released as part of season two.

Ten minutes before recording the talk show's latest episode, titled "Smith Family Medical Results Revealed," Jaden said he didn't want his first reaction to the results filmed. Given the way people responded last time, he didn't want others to approach him and comment on his health, he said.

After receiving a pep talk from Will, Jaden participated in the episode, which featured Dr. Mark Hyman from the Cleveland Clinic and Mona Sharma, Will's nutritionist and wellness coach.

Jaden told Hyman that he had experienced frequent stomach issues and typically eats pancakes for breakfast. Hyman said that based on the test results, the star has sensitivities to gluten and dairy — and because he no longer eats meat and fish, he has low levels of vitamin B12 and omega-3, in addition to low vitamin D.

However, Hyman said that Jaden could address his stomach concerns by changing his diet and taking supplements.

The rapper and actor, 23, showed off his ripped muscles in two shirtless selfies on Instagram before heading out to perform on Justin Bieber's Justice Tour, which was forced to go on a temporary hiatus after Bieber tested positive for COVID-19.

"On the road again," Smith captioned the post, which also included photos of his sleek hotel room and Louis Vuitton luggage.

Smith has been working on gaining weight ever since his parents — mom Jada Pinkett Smith and dad Will Smith — staged an intervention in 2019 out of concern that he had gotten too skinny.

"Will and I had a bit of an intervention with Jaden because he's a vegan now, but we realized he wasn't getting enough protein," Jada, 50, revealed during a Sept. 2019 episode of her show Red Table Talk. "So he was wasting away. He just looked drained, he was just depleted, he wasn't getting the nutrients."

Added Will, 53: "He had the dark circles under his eyes, there was even a little grayness to his skin. We got really nervous, but you are definitely looking better now."

Jaden reflected on the work he's put in since then on during a Dec. 2021 appearance with Jada and his grandmother Adrienne "Gammy" Banfield-Norris, saying that he's changed up his diet and started adding muscle.

"I was able to work with the doctors and really get my vitamins and get my supplements and protein shakes," he said. "That's half of my diet. It's like a password that I have to find to my body. I'm like, 10 lbs. heavier now at this point."

Jaden explained that he's been hitting the gym to bulk up, and pointed out how different he looks after they showed shirtless pictures of him performing in 2019.

"That was a long way from where I was when I was at Coachella, where I just was like, bones," he said, looking at the photos. "I thought I was so tight. I was like, 'This. I'm swagging on this. Like, I need to take off my shirt right now.' "

Jaden's dad, on the other hand, is on a different kind of body journey. Will is working on getting fit after gaining weight during the pandemic and proclaiming in May 2021 that he's "in the worst shape of my life."

Since then, he's documented his transformation in a YouTube series called Best Shape of My Life, and while he didn't reveal his final weight, a newly-ripped Will said in the final episode that he "don't look bad."
