Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars

[Tugay One Cup]

Anyone believing this may have been staged needs to give their head a wobble.

As if the Oscars are going to stage manage a joke about alopecia, violence on the stage, Smith then twice ranting "Keep my wife's name out of your fucking mouth" to the point that they muted the sound and then Rock's clear shock at what just happened.

Everything's a conspiracy now mate. The frogs are gay and the flags are false.

Was this an act?

Rock clearly pushes his face out to accept the ‘hit’. But then after he’s struggling to compose himself.

That was just fucking weird.

Not an act. I reckon Smith is in two minds as he approaches so holds back enough not to put him down on his arse. As he walks back to his seat he looks very uncomfortable.

It's bizarre. Even on the Taylor Hawkins thread, the usual experts are on there straight away telling us that the reports about drugs in his system are wrong.

Fair points mate. It is proper weird though

It looks staged because Will's angry husband routine is fake.

He seemed to find the joke funny until he saw his wife's face and remembered he is completely and utterly under the thumb.

"Keep my wife's fucking name out of your mouth!" That was embarrassing as fuck.

This makes a lot of sense.

Tbf most will only watch the three second clip of this incident. Not sure it wasn't all staged tbh - looks a bit calm for a genuinely spontaneous loss of temper.

Watch the unedited version. Smith is practically shaking with anger

To be fair, it did look completely staged right up until Smith started ranting from his chair. The audience clearly thought it was up to that point too

Maybe that was his stunt double?

It didn't though. Chris Rock was about to tell another joke or introduce the next part of the show when he stops as he sees Smith approaching.

Fair enough. I am generally a bit cynical about any emotion on show at these glitzy award thingys
