Richard E Grant couldn't resist a cheeky quip about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars as he hosted the BAFTAs tonight.
The much-loved actor was hosting from London's Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, where he began the show with a monologue where he jokingly brought out his CV and quipped it would be a great way to get a new job with so many big film directors and actors in the room alongside him. He also made a dig about Daniel Day Lewis, with whom he wouldn't have got his first breakout role.
However, it wasn't long until there was a cheeky dig at Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars last year, in a move which shocked people across the world.
