It’s a sequence that will go down in history! On March 28, 2022 during the last Oscar ceremony, Chris Rock distinguished himself as the master of the event. But his questionable joke about the physical appearance of Jada Pinkett Smith, the wife of Will Smith, clearly set fire to the powder. As a reminder, the actress has suffered from alopecia for several years. It is an autoimmune disease that destroys hair follicles and causes hair loss.
Neither one nor two, the ex-star of the Prince of Bel-Air then landed on stage to defend the honor of his half. Facing the camera, Will Smith stuck a huge slap on Chris Rock in front of the dumbfounded spectators. Unsurprisingly, the video went around the world. But to date, the actor’s slap in the face has nearly cost him… his career. Will Smith was banned from attending the Academy Awards for 10 years days after voluntarily resigning from the Academy.
“I should get in the ring with Will Smith”
For his part, the ex-husband of Malaak Compton Rock tried to calm things down… in his own way. “I’m fine. […] Life is beautiful. I got my hearing back,” would have quipped Chris Rock on April 8 during a show in California according to the newspaper Deadline. “I have a whole show and I don’t talk about it until I get paid”.
But his brother Kenny Rock wants to get in the ring to face Will Smith in the flesh! As pointed out TMZthe main interested party should soon take part in a series of boxing matches which will oppose countless stars. “I should get in the ring with Will Smith. I could put him down!”, affirmed the brother of Chris Rock to our colleagues. It remains to be seen whether the happy father of three children will respond to this invitation…
