#WillSmith Cries After Winning Best Actor Award At #Oscars Moments After Punching Chris Rock [VIDEO]—Moment Will Smith sobbed for winning best actor award after storming up on stage and punching Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars has emerged.
This is coming after Chris made a joke about Will’s wife Jada Pinkett-Smith.
Cautioning him, the King Richard actor swung a punch at the comedian before telling him: ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth’.
As he won the award for best actor, Will apologised to the Academy and his fellow nominees, before saying: ‘Love will make you do crazy things’.
‘Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family,’ Will said.
‘At this time in my life, this moment, I am overwhelmed by what God is calling on me to do and be in this world.
‘Making this film I got to protect Aunjanue Ellis who is one of the strongest, most delicate people I’ve ever met.
Will added: ‘I’m being called on in my life to love people and to protect people and to be a river to my people.
‘I know to do what we do, you have to take abuse, you have to take people talk crazy. In this business you have to have people disrespecting and you have to smile and act like that’s okay.’
He continued: ‘I want to apologise to the Academry, I want to apologise to my fellow nominees.
This is a beautiful moment and I’m not crying for winning an award. It’s not about winning an award. It’s about being able to shine a light on all the people…’
‘Art imitates life, I look like the crazy father just like they said about Richard Williams,’ he laughed. ‘But love will make you do crazy things.
Minutes earlier, Will swung a punch at Chris after he made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
The comedian was on stage to present an award for best documentary, which went to Summer of Soul.
However, things took a turn when he directed a comment to Jada, who was in the crowd beside her husband.
‘Jada, can’t wait for GI Jane 2,’ he said, referring to her buzz cut – something the couple didn’t look amused by.
Will then stormed the stage and appeared to swing at the comic, before walking back to his seat.
‘Oh Wow. Will Smith just smacked the s**t out of me,’ a shaken Chris told the crowd.
‘Wow dude. It was a GI Jane joke.’
‘Keep my wife’s name out your f**king mouth,’ Will furiously yelled from his seat, as the audience fell silent.
‘I’m going to, okay… I’ll keep going? That was, er, the greatest night in the history of television,’ Chris responded.
‘So we are here to give a documentary out, to give an Oscar for best documentary…’
