Liam Payne has weighed in on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars and sparked an unexpected new talking point in the process – his “horrific” new accent.
The former One Direction singer, 28, who hails from Wolverhampton, had a lot to say about the shocking moment Mr Smith, 53, got up on stage and attacked Mr Rock, 56, after the comedian made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair. Moment’s later, he was named best actor for his role in King Richard.
