Watch: Georges St-Pierre and Stephen Thompson hilariously parody the Will Smith slap
If you have yet to heard about the actors/comedians Will Smith and Chris Rock's altercation at the 94th Academy Awards, you are in for quite the entertaining story. Smith was sitting in the front row with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, as Rock began his segment.
Rock's objective is to entertain the crowd and make them laugh at their own expense. Things went smoothly until Rock made a joke about Will Smith's wife. Due to Jada having alopecia, her chose to shave her head.
Rock went on to say, "Jada, I love you. GI Jane 2, can't wait to see it." The joke referenced Demi Moore, who starred in GI Jane 1 and had alopecia. After realizing his wife was displeased, Smith walked up on stage and infamously slapped Rock.
