Will Smith has said he agrees with the punishment that has been handed down to him by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences following The Slap.
The 53-year-old King Richard actor sent shockwaves throughout Hollywood last month when he soundly slapped comedian Chris Rock, 57, square in the face after the star made an ill-judged joke about the hairstyle of Will’s 50-year-old alopecia-suffering wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith.
And while the A-List seemed to immediately forgive Will for his violent actions by giving him a standing ovations mere minutes later when he was awarded the Best Actor Oscar, the Academy have been less forgiving.
