Will Smith’s famous Oscars slap happened almost a year ago, and it looks like the actor is finally starting to laugh about it.
Will Smith hit Chris Rock before he won the Oscar for Best Actor at the 94th Academy Awards. This made a few headlines. It’s safe to say that the 54-year-emotions old’s were all over the place, but it looks like time heals.
Look at how he seems to make fun of the slap:
Will Smith posted a video to TikTok in which he reacted to a woman’s “absolutely unhinged exercise.”
The woman explained in the video:
I’m gonna tell you something f**king crazy. This literally, it sounds insane, but it will change your life. And by change your life, I mean it will make your life so much more interesting and fun.
Did you know that you can pick any object, look at it, and ask it what it thinks of you?
So, for example, you can pick up a pen and ask it how it sees you or what it thinks of you, and you will get an answer in your mind from your intuition. “You can ask your car what it thinks of you. You can even ask money what it thinks of you.
But Will Smith didn’t care what his pen, car, or money thought of him. Instead, he looked right at Oscar, and the look on his face told him everything.
The video has already been watched more than a million times on the platform, and people have flocked to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person wrote:
Award- ‘Why u do that will?’
Another commented:
this has got to be the hardest flex in 2023
A third added:
If you can’t laugh at yourself right lol love it.
The tone of the video is very different from the serious message Will Smith posted on Instagram after the slap incident.
He said:
Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behaviour at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable.
Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.
I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.
I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behaviour has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.
I am a work in progress.
He was then banned for 10 years from going to any Academy events.
