Will Smith sur le plateau de l'émission "The Daily Show" à Los Angeles, le 29 novembre 2022. Will Smith opens up about slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars as he gives his interview since the slap to The Daily Show. Will Smith is opening up about slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards. "There are many nuances and complexities to it, you know, but at the end of the day, I just - I lost it," Smith told host Trevor Noah. Smith added: "I guess what I would say, you just never know what somebody's going through."You just don't know what's going on with people. And I was going through something that night. Not that that justifies my behavior at all." Smith slapped Rock at the March 27, 2022, ceremony shortly before his win for Best Actor, when he walked onstage and hit the comedian on live TV for making a joke about Pinkett Smith's shaved head. (Jada, 51, lives with alopecia.) Smith also revealed the impact the events had on those closest to him - including his young nephew Dom, 9, who ‘stayed up late to see his Uncle Will’ at the 94th Academy Awards. "Why did you hit that man, Uncle Will?" he said Dom asked him when he got home. Wiping away tears and joking that Noah was making him have an ‘Oprah moment’, Smith added: "We just got to be nice to each other, man. It's hard. And I guess the thing that's the most painful for me is I took my heart and I made it hard for other people. It was a lot of things. It was the little boy watching his mother beat up his father. All of that bubbled up in that moment. You know, just, that's not who I want to be. I was gone. That was a rage that had been bottled for a really long time." Smith added in reference to Noah describing the awards show as one of the ‘best and worst’ nights of the actor's life: "I have no independent recollection. Yeah, that was a horrific night, as you can imagine.” - Photo
