I didn’t know they had history but I disagree with you…Will ain’t slapping The Rock. He pulled that stunt with Chris cause he knew he could get away with it.
Thank you. I’ve given it some thought. My wife says i need a reality show. Here’s my hangup. I see successful podcasts/YouTube channels and they specialize, and I am all over the map. I always think, who would be interested in me working out and 3D printing one day, then crypto the next, project management the next, social views after that, putting in flooring at my house next, Aquarium **** after that, then some board game ****, building an arcade machine, talking about idiot politicians, talking to random people at Walmart, etc etc etc. Is there interest for an intelligent, articulate, devastatingly handsome humble man of 1000 hobbies?
I don't think Chris Rock expected Will Smith to slap the hell out of him. I bet Chris was thinking Will was coming to dap him up or tell him something or whatever. Also, Chris Rock barely moved. And usually when you get slapped or punched, a natural instinct is to immediately raise your hand to your cheek to rub it or cover it as a biological mechanism to protect yourself from further harm, and he didn't do that. He was 100% in shock, I bet.
This is very important. If Rock knew, it puts him in a very poor light. Making fun of someone's physical disfigurement/disease is such a low blow. The problem for me is how Smith reacted after the slap. "Keep my wife's name out of your mouth" tells me he did it for selfish reasons, not altruistic ones. If Smith had mentioned her disease/condition in his defense of her, instead of just being generally overall offended, I'd be like... huh, I can maybe see why he saw red there. All of this is also confused by how Smith laughed at first and then heel-turned.
Agree to disagree. This was 99% emotion. The 1% was Will checking his fist and going for a slap. He didn't care about what was coming because a) he was incised and b) he's a confident guy That belt didn't do **** for him last night. He knew something was coming.
If Chris Rock knew, it changes the situation drastically, and vindicates Will Smith in a way. I just don't think even Chris Rock would mock a woman's hair loss. But I could be wrong. I don't think Smith had any responsibility to explain the entire situation. This wasn't a 'save face' move by Will. It was emotion. Smith laughed at the joke, then looked at his wife. She was obviously hurt, and maybe more so since he laughed too. It all hit him at once, my mate is hurt, that male hurt her.
You're telling me we came this close to witnessing The Rock literally kill Will Smith on live television?
Stop speaking for all black people, I don't have an issue with Rock and not all black people give a **** about black people using the N-word. Me and mine use it all the time. I don't mind if my white friends use it either because context matters. It's amazing how a group of people think they can speak for what others think or should think. Who is we?
Would Will Smith be at rehearsals to hear a joke about his wife...? If he was why would he not intervene then? Wtf?
Yeah, it doesn't make sense. These guys are pros. So rehearsals aren't verbatim and go like this: Chris Rock: I tell jokes, ha ha ha, then my small award intro (practices that part) Then Will Smith's part for best actor: Will, you will be introduced as once of the nominees, presenters will talk about it, open letter, if it's you, you walk up here, stand here, do a speech no longer than x seconds then walk this way.
