Are Chris Rock and Will Smith not equal in status in Hollywood?

[Still Benefited]

Chris Rock is goated as a comedian. Started out on SNL and is well known and loved by whites and blacks. Been in the game for decades and is a power broker


Will is goated as an actor. Been in blockbuster after blockbuster and is well known by whites and blacks. Also a power broker in the entertainment industry.

But after seeing Will smack this man. Casually walk back to his seat. Not be approached by security and asked to leave or ar least go back stage. To not even have security playing him close,or at least rushing in to protect Chris. Im kind of wondering if Im wrong about them both being Hollywood royalty. I always thought in both black and white worlds they had equal ranking.

They are both A listers , but will Smith is in the upper echelon with Tom hanks and Tom cruise

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

Will like a A+ and Chris like a A-

 

[The Minister Of Culture]

Chris is an A lister but Will is like an A+ in terms of status

 

[Admiral Kali]

In the world of Entertainment

A-list Actor > A-list Comedian

The notable exception to this is Dave Chappelle

 

[Peak]

Chris Rock is a scrub relegated to doing award shows as a side hustle

 

[NatiboyB]

Will like a A+ and Chris like a A-

this both A listers but different levels

 

[Luke Cage]

Loiw key chris rock is not a list to the current generation. Most young kids haven't seen new jack city or bigger and blacker comedy special or 90s snl skits. but they still saw MIB

 

[Optimus Prime]

Will Smith has literally made BILLIONS of dollars for Hollywood
Chris is not on that level

 

[mbewane]

Will is worldwide megastar status, Chris Rock a rank lower. Will has one of the most famous sitcoms ever, musical hits and various blockbusters. He's on another echelon.

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

No

Will Smith is top level Hollywood

Chris ain't in THAT club .. But he's famous and well known

Top level comedian would be Eddie Murphy , Seinfeld.. people with over $125 - $150 Million Net Worth in the industry

Chris is slightly below that .. he's doing a joint tour with Kevin Hart and Kevin's profile is higher than Chris right now

 

[Mastamimd]

They're both at the Oscars at a very prestigious level, they're equals even though ones a bit more prestigious than the other

 

[blockburna420]

Hollywood dgaf about only how much money can they bring in .

Sitting in the cut like

 

[YouMadd?]

Actors are above Comedians in the pecking order…..
