After what happened during Chris Rock speech, Will and Chris are in spotlight. And at this point we need to know what was their relations years ago.
If we go back 6 years ago we see that in between these two, was such a good relationship, which it has continued up until 2016.
In 1995, Will Smith and Chris Rock were both part of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air cast.
In 1999, they both appeared in “Torrance Rises”, while in 2005, Rock and Jada Pinkett Smith were part of the animated film “Madagascar”.
2022 Oscar was like a flash back for Jada, because even in 2016 Rock mentioned her at his monolog. Jada said that she wouldn’t be part of Oscars anymore due to the lack of inclusion in the list of nominations.
And we can say that these word of Jada’s were “good enough” to make Chris Rock mention her at his monologue. Among others he said: “Jada said he would not come. Jada is boycotting the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s overalls. “No one invited me”.
But Rock at the time did not stop with Jada, he also mentioned Will, who was not nominated for the film “Concussion”. His word were referred to Will’s least successful film: “It is not fair that Will acted very well and did not receive a nomination. Right. “Isn’t it fair that Will was paid $20 million for ‘Wild Wild West’, OK?”
The same situation seemed to be even this year at Oscars, but not like in the 2016, this time Will stood up and slapped him on stage. At first everyone thought that this would be staged, but did not turn out as such. Chris said: “‘Jada, I love you. G.I Jane 2 ‘, I can not wait to see, “referring to the fact that she shaved her head. The comedian was talking about the movie where actress Demi Moore (as the character Jordan O’Neil) shaves her head.
The reason why Jada has cut her hair is related to alopecia, a medical condition that causes hair loss. “A joke about Jada’s health was too much for me and I reacted emotionally,” Smith said recently.
He apologized to Chris Rock, the Film Academy (which hosts the Oscars) and viewers in a recent statement.
