Still waiting to hear a decent answer as to what either of them get out of this faked altercation. Seen on response on Facebook yesterday suggesting it was all part of a promo for a new Will Smith film. Nothing can just be real anymore. Everything needs to have a hidden agenda.

Would it not have been a better punch? Would it have ended with him looking a dick, Rock looking bewildered and abuse being hurled? Would Rock not have a better comeback than "I will" when being told to leave the wife alone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWJ Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-60881824 According to this article ticket sales and prices for Chris Rock’s upcoming tour have soared since the ‘incident’ - more sales in the days after it than in the previous month and prices at one venue increasing almost 10-fold.

That's mighty impressive of Will to potentially ruin his career, so that he can help I guy he doesn't like get more ticket sales.

The directors and producers will still want him in their movies and people will still go to the cinema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s built his career on being “mr nice guy” of Hollywood and could easily have an affect on the roles he is offered. People generally don’t like seeing bigger guys picking on / hitting little guys, but I guess time will tell how it affects him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambos_1874 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I feel he should have stayed in character and hit him with a tennis racket (which should have been hidden under his seat as this was so "obviously" staged). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucky Thompson Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Will Smith has done no damaged to his career FFS. He is being hailed as a hero who stood up for his wife.

jambopilms Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Chris rock seems like a sniedey little prick and because of the slap it been largely ignored. Will Smith hiding the fact he was going to slap him until the last min was equally scumbag behaviour. Either go up raging or don't, don't do a surprise slap. Two losers.
