Will Smith 'calmed down' by Bradley Cooper after hitting Chris Rock on stage

Bradley Cooper comforted a distressed Will Smith, moments after the actor hit Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars on Sunday night.

Will, 53, slapped the comedian, 57, after he joked to Will's wife "Jada, can't wait for GI Jane 2" in reference to the talk show host's shaven head.

And pictures show Bradley, 47, trying to calm down the King Richard star after the tense exchange saw Will yell: "Keep my wife's name out of your f**king mouth".
