It was the slap that reverberated around the globe, shocked audiences and left Will Smith banned from this year’s Oscars.
But despite being banished from the biggest night in film for his attack on Chris Rock, Smith has had the last laugh with his career riding high and his bank balance positively booming.
Not only is the 54-year-old working on a series of multi-million dollar film projects including Bad Boys 4 and the sequel to I Am Legend, he is also being lined up to return in the Aladdin sequel.
