A video that exactly showed the Will Smith slap gate incident left people wondering whether the actor was inspired by it

NO! Will Smith did NOT re-enact the Oscars slap from an old movie &#8211; it is the opposite

Did Will Smith get inspiration for the Oscar slap, or did the slap inspire a
movie? The actor landed in trouble big time when he slapped Chris Rock at the
Oscars in 2022. Rock, who was the host for the night, cracked a joke about Jada
Smith’s bald head. That did not sit well with her husband, who went up on the
stage to suddenly smack Rock in the face.



The aftermath of the incident is felt to this day. He became an example of what
not to do. Despite it, the incident became a source of meme content and even a
learning lesson. But when a video on social media showed an exact Oscar
scenario, it made people wonder if Smith got his inspiration from it.


WHAT WAS THE VIDEO THAT RECREATED THE WILL SMITH SLAPGATE INCIDENT?

The I Am Legend actor has been an icon for over three decades due to his
successful career, but Oscar night has certainly made an example out of it.
However, a Twitter
[https://twitter.com/LittleLost___/status/1607917040828026881?s=20] user posted
a video that showed the exact same scenario and asked, “Can anyone tell me what
movie scene this is from?” The video was captioned, “Now we all know Will Smith
copied an old movie..” But as it turns out, the video was created not before but
after the incident. 



It was made by an inspirational guru and content creator Dhar Mann who is all
over social media. He is known for making life lesson videos, sometimes based on
relatable real-life incidents. But instead of the real incident, the creator
gave it his own twist to try to set a better example with an alternative end to
the incident.

However, not everyone is also too pleased with the video for using a real
incident for content creation.

As for real life, Smith

did apologize for his actions, but neither Rock nor the audience seems to have
forgiven him for his mistake yet. He has been banned from the Academy Award for
a decade, and his movie Emancipation
