No one talking about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars?

Larry Wilmore theorizing that Scientology which does teach about slapping away bad energy or some such silliness is behind the slap. Makes as much sense as anything to me…..

If that’s what u wanna tell urself homie. Lol. Will ain’t did comedy in years. Either way that’s irrelevant to what I said.

But he's Will Smith, breh is always using comedic timing in everything, even most films he just playing himself, one reason Rock felt comfortable/gaurd was down when Will went on stage. shyt he was probably laughing walking up to dude, we need that Chris Rock pov cam.

Nope, Will Smith is the embodiment of silliness. COMEDY made his career from rap to TV/Movies
:manny::hubie:

Fair enough perspective, but it's different when it's your significant other's feelings involved. Wasn't like he was on the Bel air set and it was a joke aimed at him.

Will still isn't 100% justified in that scenario tho.

You can FEEL Chris Rock is an icon. Will is too but there's some element about Chris Rock that screams classic actor/comic character.

As a stand up Chris is one of the best to ever do it. Easily top 5. Never Scared might even be my favorite stand up special ever. But as an actor he's not great. Will is definitely the better (and bigger if we're looking at box office) actor. Watch a movie with Chris from the 90's called Dogma, his reaction shots are terrible lol. Not saying he can't be good or funny in movies either, he's Chris Rock so he's usually gonna be funny, but when he acts his reactions often don't come off as natural.

How do you know he hasn’t spoken to her?
Ok. He tried to switch its last name after the incident. And he hasn’t been seen publicly with her since then. But he’s been seen with his pops. I’ve also read reports on it but u right. I wouldn’t know unless he personally said it. He ain’t been around her publicly in 2 years tho. And he’s been giving nothing but praise to his father and only his father the last 2 years as well. So :manny:

Man Will is a bigger sensation and it’s no doubt about it. All this proves is how much Chris has appealed to the white audience over the years.

Will Smith was a famous rapper and then did Fresh Prince and then became a huge movie star. You’re tripping :skip:

I know. For some reason Chris Rock's legacy sits better with me. Despite Will's blockbusters. His Fresh Prince was innovative and life changing tho.

Word, I get that about his acting. His lane is stand up and comedy tho. Real master of ceremonies steez. I haven't seen that special, but will. Thanks for putting me on!
