Jim Carrey has said Will Smith "should have" been arrested after hitting comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars. The actor is among the latest in a line of celebrities who have weighed in on the dramatic moment of the awards ceremony, which happened after Rock joked about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head, referring to her as “GI Jane”.
Will Smith stormed onstage and hit the comedian in front of a star-studded audience at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, after Rock made a joke about his wife suffering from alopecia. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said it “condemned” the actions of Smith, who later went on to win the Oscar for best actor following the incident at the 94th annual movie awards.
In an interview with American show CBS This Morning on March 29, Carrey expressed his disapproval of how the situation was handled, especially with Smith still winning Best Actor for King Richard shortly after.
