Will Smith: Soon A Biopic On His Life Including The Slap Of The Oscars?

Nearly five months after slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, the tide is turning for Will Smith. If he thought that his career was going to experience a slack, it is in fact quite the opposite.

What if Will Smith’s career took off? After his bloodshed at the 2022 Oscars, we thought the actor was going to be blacklisted from Hollywood. And it could be quite the opposite… And for good reason, several media suggest that the tide is now turning in favor of Will Smith. “Will was left out of Netflix and Apple+ following the slap, a source told The Sun. He has since apologized and walked away from the spotlight for a long time. With that in mind, it is widely accepted that enough time has passed.” According to her, Netflix is also working on a biopic devoted to the life of the actorwithout hiding his violent slap at the Oscars. “You could say that the slap and the fallout are pivotal moments in Will’s life and will be part of the storyline”believes this source.

As a reminder, last March 27 at the 94th Academy Awards, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on stage. A few minutes earlier, the comedian had dared to joke in bad taste about the shaved head of Jada Pinkett Smith, who suffers from an illness. “Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth”, launched the comedian, who won the Oscar for best actor, before hitting him. Chris Rock kept quiet about this eventful evening for a long time until his performance on the stage of the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel. “Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face”, had started the comedian, currently on tour across the United States with Kevin Hart. Chris Rock claimed not to be “a victim”. “That shit hurt me, motherfucker”he added.

Will Smith: “I’m heartbroken”

“But I got rid of that shit and went to work the next day. I’m not going to the hospital for a paper cut”, continued Chris Rock. After opening an internal investigation, the Oscars announced that they would ban Will Smith from their organization for ten years. The actor then resigned from his post. “The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all in attendance and a global audience back home. I have betrayed the trust of the Academy , confided the actor. I deprived the other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. My heart is broken. Change takes time and I am committed to doing the work to make sure I never allow violence to overtake reason again..”
