Bradley Cooper and Denzel Washington are reported to have "calmed down" Will Smith after he smacked Chris Rock in the face at the Oscars.

The Hangover star was spotted having a word with the best actor winner during a commercial break and was seen placing his hands on his shoulders, reports US Weekly and a raft of other outlets in America.

Bradley, 47, approached the married father-of-two and had an intense conversation, reports OK. It came after Will smacked the comic in the face for his joke about wife Jada Pinkett Smith's buzzcut.Chris quipped: "Jada, can't wait for GI Jane 2."Later on in the evening, Will won his Oscar and as he walked up to the stage he slapped the presenter, before returning to his seat and shouting: "Keep my wife's name out of your f****** mouth."The joke Chris made was a reference to the 1997 movie G.I Jane - which starred Demi Moore sporting a buzzcut similar to Jada's.Jada has previously opened up about her decision to shave her head, after suffering from alopecia.Will later confirmed Denzel Washington had also spoken to him off-camera.“Denzel said to me, ‘Be careful.

At your highest moment, that’s when the devil comes for you.”Mum-of-two Jada rolled her eyes at the quip, before Will strode onto the stage and hit Chris across the face, telling him: "Keep my wife's name out of your f****** mouth."The star apologised for his behaviour towards Chris earlier in the live ceremony duriing his acceptance speech, but he also referenced his character Richard Williams as being a "fierce defender" of his family“Art imitates life,” he went on. “I look like the crazy father, just like they said about Richard Williams.
