Will Smith: Oscar winner filmed dancing to his own music at Vanity Fair party after hitting Chris Rock
msn.comOscar winner Will Smith has been filmed dancing to his own music at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party hours after he stunned audiences by hitting Chris Rock on stage. Smith won his first Academy Award for King Richard but appeared to take offence to a gag Rock made about Pinkett Smith’s short haircut.
She had previously spoken about her struggles with alopecia and said it is what prompted her to shave her head. Rock said: “Jada, can’t wait for GI Jane 2”, prompting the actress to roll her eyes.
However, Smith walked up on stage and appeared to hit Rock before returning to his seat and shouting twice: “Keep my wife’s name out of your f****** mouth. ”The altercation left Rock shocked and flustered as he tried to resume presenting the best documentary feature category.
The incident cast a cloud over Smith’s acceptance speech for his first ever Oscar, after he was named best actor for his portrayal of Richard Williams, the father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams, in King Richard.
