Will Smith and Chris Rock are said to have made up after the actor shocked the world by slapping the comedian at the Oscars in 2022 following a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith

Warring superstars Will Smith and Chris Rock have secretly reached a peace settlement after the infamous Oscar night slap which shocked the world, according to a pal of the pair.

The Neighborhood star concluded that Smith’s slap, rather than a punch, showed how “very personal” the animosity had become after years of taunts from Rock over the Hitch actor’s marriage. He continued: "We only saw the result and then decided it was something. And that's what I was confident on. I was confident both of them understood what was happening at that moment and they got to get through it. And then we just saw a thing and we all reacted.

“Oh man, that's big. Him and Martin, that's my guy, man," he went on. "So really we love those movies. They got a lot of action. We don't have a lot of African-American-led action, action comedies, action movies in general. "When we started in the Neighborhood, we talked about how cynical everything was. All the TV shows had this snarkiness to 'em, everything had to have a bite. Everything was kind of really done with the intention of how can I upset the apple cart?
