There is a saying that a week is a long time in politics, but perhaps a new phrase needs to be coined to suggest that a day is a long week in Hollywood as the explosive feud between Will Smith and Chris Rock is said to already be ancient history.
Drama exploded on the stage of the 94th annual Academy Awards in Tinseltown on Sunday night when 53-year-old Will took a swing at 57-year-old Chris live on stage, slapping him square in the jaw to the shock of the A-List audience.
The violent incident was sparked when Chris made an ill-advised joke about Will’s 50-year-old wife Jada Pinkett-Smith, poking fun at her bald head despite the fact she has previously opened up about suffering from alopecia.
