At the Academy Awards on Sunday (27 Mar 22), the actor took the stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock over his joke about the hairstyle of his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, who suffers from alopecia. In an interview with 6abc Action News of Philadelphia, Carolyn Smith said she had “never seen” her son act like this.
“He is a very sociable person. It’s the first time I’ve seen him leave like that. The first time in her life, she commented. I’ve never seen him do that. »
And while she was surprised by her 53-year-old son’s reaction to the joke, she was thrilled to see him win the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in The Williams Method. “I know how he works, how hard he works…I’ve waited and waited and waited. When I heard his name, I just shouted, ‘Yes!’” she added.
On Monday, Will Smith posted his apology on Instagram in which he said he “deeply” regretted his “unacceptable and inexcusable” behavior at the ceremony. The Academy opened an investigation after condemning his gesture in order to assess the most appropriate sanction.
