Will Smith has released a video on social media where he has apologised to Chris Rock after slapping the comedian at the Oscars earlier this year. In the five-minute long video posted to his 64M followers on Instagram, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor spoke directly to the camera as he answered a series of questions he'd received on social media about the incident on March 27.
The shocking moment saw the 53-year-old Hollywood star storm on stage and slap Chris Rock, after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith. Answering a question as to why he did not apologise to Chris moments later during his acceptance speech for best actor for his role in King Richard, he said: “I was fogged out by that point. It’s all fuzzy.
"I have reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he is not ready to talk and when he is he will reach out. So I will say to you Chris, I apologise to you. My behaviour was unacceptable and I am here whenever you are ready to talk.”
