In anticipation of his Hollywood return with the highly anticipated film 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die', veteran actor Will Smith has vowed to confront the fallout from his controversial Oscars slap incident. Partnering once again with Martin Lawrence in this upcoming project, Smith, aged 55, is gearing up for an extensive promotional campaign as he steps back into the spotlight. This marks his first major endeavor since the much-publicized incident where he infamously slapped comedian Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards.
According to insider reports from The Sun, Smith and his team are leaving no stone unturned to ensure a successful comeback. Addressing the proverbial elephant in the room, Smith intends to tackle the repercussions of the slap incident head-on during the promotional blitz for 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die', as disclosed by sources to femalefirst.co.uk.
"It's inevitable that Will will confront the slap incident and reflect on the changes he's undergone since then. Additionally, there's speculation that he may delve into his personal life, particularly his marriage to Jada, following their discreet separation over six years ago," the source revealed.
Acknowledging the lingering controversy surrounding the incident, Smith aims to confront it directly, scheduled to make appearances on prominent US television shows where he'll offer candid insights. Despite the shadow cast by the incident, there's optimism about Smith's redemption arc, fueled by his dedicated self-improvement journey and unwavering support from his vast fan base.
Having previously extended apologies to Chris Rock for his actions at the Oscars, Smith's forthcoming endeavors are poised to not only revive his career but also provide a platform for reflection and redemption in the eyes of the public.
