STORY: Many still remember the pictures. When Hollywood star Will Smith spontaneously got up from his seat and slapped stand-up comedian Chris Rock savagely at the Oscars in March after Rock made a joke about Will Smith’s wife. Speaking on Monday night’s television program ‘The Daily Show with Trevor Noah,’ Smith attempted to explain his behavior: ACTOR, WILL SMITH: “That was a horrible night, as you can imagine. There are a lot of nuances to this story. But in the end I got I just lost my mind. I’d say, you never really know what someone’s going through.” The visit to the TV show was followed by the first major public appearance at his most recent film premiere on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. The film “Emancipation” was performed there, in which Will Smith worked as a producer and actor. The strip is an action drama with a historical touch. On the way to freedom, escaped slave Peter, played by Will Smith, will do everything in his power to outwit his ruthless pursuers. He escapes slavery by relying on his wits and his great love for his family. The film “Emancipation” is only in the cinemas and should then be available on the streaming service Apple TV+ from December 9th.
