Jim Carrey suggests Will Smith should have been arrested after slapping Chris Rock

Jim Carrey has become one of the latest celebrities to share his thoughts on the Oscars moment that has dominated conversation over the last few days. During Sunday evening's ceremony (March 27), Will Smith stormed on stage and slapped host Chris Rock after the comedian made a G.I. Jane joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's lack of hair.

Jada, who suffers with alopecia, did not seem amused with the joke, prompting initially-smiling Will to take action. The incident has divided viewers and those in attendance at the ceremony, with many people making their opinions known both in the press and on social media.

Amongst the celebrities who have weighed in on what is arguably the most memorable moment from this year's Academy Awards ceremony is Jim Carrey. In an interview given on CBS' This Morning yesterday, March 29, the The Truman Show actor expressed his disappointment towards how the situation was dealt with, especially as Will Smith won the award for Best Actor shortly after the altercation.
