Will Smith Acceptance Speech 2022: Will Smith picked up the Best Actor Oscar for his role as the self-centered patriarch in The Williams Method, an account of the rise of tennis players Serena and Venus Williams.
But What Went Through Will Smith’s Head?
This is the question asked by the Oscars audience on the night of Sunday, March 27 to Monday, March 28, 2022. When comedian Chris Rock humorously evokes the shaved head of his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, comparing it to that of Demi Moore in the film A Equal Arms, the actor literally exploded. Will Smith stood up and punched Chris Rock, before yelling, “Leave my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth!” His wife indeed suffers from alopecia, a disease that forced her to shave her head.
The sequence caused unease in the assembly. During the commercial break, Denzel Washington tried to calm the actor and his wife down. The actor was seen in tears during this sequence, probably measuring the scope of his gesture. Later, Will Smith received the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in The Williams Method.

Will Smith hit Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars? The comedian, who came to introduce the Oscar for best documentary, made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and his baldness due to disease, alopecia. He compared her to Demi Moore, who was bald in the movie On Equal Terms. Will Smith didn’t like the joke at all, as he got up and punched Chris Rock in the face, before yelling “Leave my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth!” A few minutes later, when the confusion passed, the comedian received the Oscar for best actor for his role in The Williams Method .
In a confused and tearful speech, he did not fail to apologize to the Academy and the other nominees, before recalling that he took his role as protector and father of the family very seriously. He also explained that his tears weren’t related to the award he just won, but his desire to shine a light on the film’s crew, possibly implying that he ruined their moment for them.
What Will Smith Risk For Punching Chris Rock?
According to information from Variety, which cites the Los Angeles police, Chris Rock decided not to press charges against Will Smith after he hit him on the Oscars stage. The Oscar-winning actor faced six months in prison and a $100,000 fine. If Chris Rock has not filed a complaint about the moment, he still has six months to change his mind.
