Will Smith Continues Damage Control, in Negotiations With Netflix for a Tell All Biopic

Whenever we hear about the Oscars, we think about all the great movies and
actors who have received recognition there. We also think about those who didn’t
get the recognition that they deserved. Many iconic moments have been created at
the Oscars. And now when we hear about the Oscars, we also think about Will
Smith, Chris Rock, and that heated moment.

At the 94th Academy Awards, Chris Rock was on the stage and he jokingly talked
about Will’s wife. While hosting the event, Rock said Will’s wife Jade

looked like G. I. Jane because of her bald head. This comment by Chris made Will
angry, and he got up from his sit angrily. He went up there on the stage and
slapped Chris, right there and then, for passing that joke. Since then, he has
been banned from attending the Academy event for 10 years. However, he
apologized to the fans, his fellow nominees, his family, and especially to Chris
while staying away from the limelight. But now, reportedly

the King Richard star

will be back with Netflix in a biopic.


NETFLIX WILL TELL THE STORY OF WILL SMITH

After the slap-gate, Smith lost many major projects. Even David Letterman added
a disclaimer

at the beginning of an episode that featured Will, in My Next Guest Needs No
Introduction. However, his fans have seen the man apologizing openly and
admitting his mistake. Now that the dust has settled a little, Netflix feels it
is the right time to talk about it again with a different approach.

Reportedly, it is claimed that the Academy Award-winning star was negotiating
with Netflix about a film about his life. He wanted to follow his life after the
physical blowup with his old friend, Chris Rock. The pivotal moment in Will’s
life will absolutely be a part of the biopic. Netflix is interested in starting
the conversation about the slap-gate

However, Chris Rock hasn’t replied to Smith’s apology. He said to Smith he was
not ready to talk.

and open conversation about it. Fans of Smith are waiting for the day to come
and everything to be fine again. Are you also a Will Smith fan? What do you
