Will Smith Punches Chris Rock at The Oscars

Chris Rock made a joke about Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, regarding her shaved head, calling her “GI Jane 2.”

The joke didn’t go over well as Jada rolled her eyes, and her polite smile turned into disgust. Chris followed up by saying, “that was a nice one,” referring to his out-of-place joke.

The camera showed Will Smith forcing a smile and a few seconds later walking on stage. Before Chris Rock could finish his sentence, saying “Oh, ” and moving on to the next topic, Will Smith smacked Chris Rock with his right hand.

Check out the iconic moment in the video below:
