It’s almost hard to believe, but we’re approaching the first anniversary of the 2022 Oscars. While these events always have some viral moments, none have had the lasting effect of Will Smith on stage and slapping Chris Rock on national television . The Oscar-winning actor has been working on his comeback for a few months, including the release of Emancipation. And Smith apparently scoffed at 2022 and all the hype surrounding the Oscars incident.
After slapping Chris Rock and win the Oscar for best actor For King Richard, Will Smith has largely retired from the public eye. He went dark on social media and wasn’t seen for months as talk of his actions continued. But recently he’s started going out and making public appearances again, even doing a press tour for his latest film. even him go back to social media and apparently teased last year with his new one instagram post, with a blooper from The Genie via Disney on Ice. Check it out below:
Well now you have it. While Will Smith hasn’t explicitly mentioned the Oscars or the infamous Slap incident, he certainly seems to be referring to that difficult time in his life and the aftermath that has surrounded him since. And there will undoubtedly be many references for the upcoming Oscars 2023, which recently announced their appointments.
The video above was shared with Will Smith’s 62.7 million followers on Instagram. He credited the owner of the blooper video, while the caption simply reads “this is me in 2022”. As you can see, a Disney on Ice performer playing Genie accidentally fell off the ice into a nearby well. But they finally got up and managed to finish “Friend Like Me” and strike a pose. Let’s talk about professionalism.
Given the legend of Will Smith, it’s hard not to see the narrative of his 2022 in this viral video from Disney on Ice. as the character of him in Aladdin (which is your hhighest-grossing film of all time ), the actor/artist/producer definitely fell in love long after the Oscars. He dropped out of the film academy due to his actions and was banned from attending the ceremony for a decade. And after apparently being in solitary confinement for months, he was back in the limelight and was able to celebrate the launch of Antoine Fuqua Emancipation .
It sure looks like Will Smith’s return is in full effect, as he’s started lining up some big film projects. He and Martin Lawrence are officially back for bad boys 4and there are also rumors that he has a contract with Disney Aladdin 2. We’ll have to see how it all plays out and if he strikes that final figure skating genius pose.
Will Smith has a number of theater projects over the next few years, both as a producer and actor. In the meantime, check out the Movie release dates 2023 to plan your next movie experience.
