Will Smithwill probably never get over the slap in the face at the Oscars … because a fellow actor just mentioned it at the Emmys – and made fun of the same name.

Creator of “Slow Horses” – also called Will Smith – just won an Emmy for the series’ writing… and when he stepped up to the microphone, he couldn’t help but mention the most famous person by his own name.’

Smith says, “First of all, relax. Despite my name, I come in peace.”

Will’s joke drew a lot of laughter before he moved on to thank everyone… so it seems Smith didn’t take too long to realize the joke – even though the incident happened about two and a half years ago.

Apparently WS was referring to the movie star Will Smith Slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars in 2022 after CR made a joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

The viral moment shocked the world and made Will a laughing stock for months… even leading to him being banned from Hollywood for a time.

A lot has happened since then … Jada and Will have admitted that they actually alienated and that for years before he slapped Chris – and Will’s “Bad Boy 4” exploded this summerand shows that people have left the bad aftertaste of the slap behind them.
