Smith, 54, played Richard Williams in the biopic film King Richard, which won him best actor at the 94th Academy Awards last year. At the ceremony last year, Smith got on stage and smack Rock in the face following comments the comedian made about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

Matter of fact, I appreciate Mr Smith,” he told Good Morning Britain. When asked if he saw any wrongdoing in what happened at the Oscars, Williams said: “I don’t see nothing wrong with that.” He added: “It’s time for everyone to forgive Will Smith.” The interview comes a day after Rock made comments about the slap during his Netflix special Chris Rock: Selective Outrage. He said: “You all know what happened to me, getting smacked by Suge Smith. Everybody knows. Yes it happened, I got smacked like a year ago.” “People were like, ‘did it hurt?’ It still hurts. I got Summertime ringing in my ears. But I’m not a victim baby, you’ll never see me on Oprah crying. You will never see it. Never going to happen. “I took that hit like (former boxer Manny) Pacquiao.” Read More Like This On Outside Africa Celebrity Watch UPCOMING PRIORITY EVENTS!
