After months of silence, Will Smith reflects on his past actions on the stage of the Academy Awards 2022 in the interview with Trevor Noah.

“I’m a flawed human” &#8211; Will Smith Makes Modest Revelations About That Night at the Oscars Ahead of &#8216;Emancipation&#8217;

A lot of things have happened this year, but one of the most talked about is
probably the Oscars Slapgate. The night at the 2022 Oscars witnessed Will Smith
smack Chris Rock across the face for a joke he made at the expense of his wife,
Jada Pinkett Smith. Rock was the host of the night and he had cracked a joke
about Jada’s alopecia. The incident was beyond shocking and spurred many
articles on his behavior and his future in the industry.



Although allowed to keep his award for King Richards, he was banned from the
Academy. Now, after months of silence, the actor has opened up about how he
weathered the storm on The Daily Show With Trevor Noah.

WILL SMITH ADMITS THAT HE IS HUMAN AND FLAWED

Will Smith [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/] was on the show to
promote his upcoming movie, Emancipation. On the show, he revealed that he was
going through a tough time during the ceremony and lost control of his emotions.
When he came back home to his 9-year-old nephew, he had to face questions about
why his uncle hit the man. The actor regretted his actions and over the past few
months admits to having humbled down. He has come to accept that he is a flawed
human, just like everyone else.

“I had to humble down and realize that I’m a flawed human,” he said
[https://www.cc.com/episodes/86q5f7/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-extended-november-28-2022-will-smith-season-28-ep-28].
Although, the actor did not reveal the reason he was having a hard time.

Nevertheless, Trevor Noah, who has known Smith for years, vouched for him on his
show. Following the Oscars fiasco, the Independence Day star issued an apology
to Rock and his family, but it fell on deaf ears. 

An emotional Will urged the audience to watch the movie for the hard work that
the production team and director Antoine Fuqua put into it. He did not want the
audience to cancel and discredit his team’s hard work for his actions. However,
he would still respect their choice
