    He'll get something out of it. His odd family have been in the media for years and it's never hurt him. They'll end up on some talk show together (Rock in a tell all. That film he's just done about the Williams family is the only thing of note he has done in about 10 year.

    Seems bonkers to me for the whole thing to be orchestrated to earn him a few quid on chat shows while massively risking his reputation and future earnings but who knows.

    True, however the bloke sat on his wife's round table show, interviewing her about her affair with some other bloke while they were married. Just an odd strange set up they have.

    Bruce Willis retires from those weird cheap movies, along comes a ready made replacement.

    I doubted this was staged ...

    Will Smith RESIGNS from the Oscars Academy: 'Heartbroken' actor says he'll accept the consequences for slapping Chris Rock as probe continues and he faces being stripped of Best Actor award

    just been reading a 'snippet' from a former co-actor in 'Ali', the bloke talked about how smith got a bit of abuse from ali's real doctor (the bloke was playing him in the film) and smith turned that round and started his own abuse of the actor, sounded very racist 'you are alone here, no mexicans in africa' type of thing.

    seems a lot of the people who have made the biggest noise about stamping racism out tend to have a skeleton or two in the closet they have forgotten about, or would prefer it to have been forgotten.

    yeh i read that...being honest i thought it looked staged but wondered why they would bother as no one looked set to gain from it.

    rock is laughing as smith walks up to him, smith is laughing as he walks up to rock...even after the slap smith walks away with a grin on his face till he sits down, then his face goes all serious and rock was still unsure what to do and still had a smile on.

    Agree.

    Resigning from the academy just means he can't vote.

    He can still be voted for, attend events etc. It's a hollow gesture

    Bad boys 4 and Fast and Loose have now been put on hold. Smith might lose to the tune of seven figures. I do not buy that it was staged, not one bit.

    How on earth could the organisers persuade a millionaire to take such a massive risk, impossible.

    "Hi Mr Smith, the lads in the office have come up with a great idea" <laugh>

    Would have been racist mate which ever way around it had been, if will Smith was white it would have been a racist attack, if Chris Rock was white his comments would have been racist to Smith wife that is apparently how racism works these days

    Glad he said no to Django. Prefer Jamie Foxx in general but no way was Django a role for Will Smith.
