It was very understood and it’s done! Indeed the American actor Will Smith apologized to Chris Rock that he had violently slapped during the Oscars ceremony in the night of Sunday 27
March 2022.
In a message published on his various social media accounts, the winner of the legendary statuette for best actor for The Williams Method, where he plays the father coach of champions Serena and Venus Williams, made an act of greatness by regretting his ugly gesture.
”Violence in any form is toxic and destructive. My behavior at the Oscars last night was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes against me are part of the job,” he wrote, adding that a joke about Jada’s health was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.
I would like to publicly apologize, Chris,” said the actor, who acknowledges that he was out of line while recognizing his wrongdoing.
There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness,” said the father of Jaden Smith, the eldest son of the famous couple in Hollywood.
Finally, the actor also apologized to the Academy, to the producers of the show, to all the participants and to the viewers of the world for his gesture which caused a lot of reactions everywhere on the web.
It must be said that Will Smith had this grotesque gesture a few minutes before winning the Academy Award for Best Actor, the biggest award of his long and rich career in the 7th art.
The one who played the role of Chris Gardner in the famous movie In Search of Happiness burst on the scene in reaction to a joke of Chris Rock about the shaved head of Jada Pinkett Smith, the wife of Will Smith, that he compared to Demi Moore in the movie Equal Weapons of Ridley Scott.
It must be said that Jada Pinkett suffers since 2018 from alopecia, a disease that causes the acceleration of the loss of hair including hair.
At the 94th Academy Awards Will Smith became the fifth black actor who won the Oscar for best actor after Sidney Poitier (1964), Denzel Washington (2002), Jamie Foxx ( 2005) and Forest Whitaker in 2007.
