Will Smith could be banned from starring in Bad Boys after his slap of Chris Rock at the Oscars last weekend, according to reports. Work on the fourth instalment of the film franchise has been paused by Sony in light of the incident.
Mail Online reports that the film would have seen Smith working again with co-star Martin Lawrence as a drugs agent. It's also said that Netflix has slowed down production of planned action film Fast and Loose, starring Smith, aged 53.
Reports suggest that studios will assess the impact the incident has had on Smith's reputation after the slap. Last Sunday night's (March 27) 94th Oscars ceremony was thrown into chaos when Smith went onstage and slapped comedian Rock in front of a star-studded audience.
