There is nothing like laughter to heal wounds.
Tragedy is a great resource to get comic moments. One year after Chris Rock was slapped at the Oscars, Will Smith seems to be ready to turn the page. Or almost.
In a TikTok duet video, the actor listens carefully to user Sam Rossialso known as Miss Money Working on the social network, which talks about the benefits of asking an inanimate object, whatever it is, what it thinks of you. According to Rossi’s legend, “This works because everything has a conscience.” “You can pick up a pen and ask him how he sees you or what he thinks of you,” he says. “And you will get an answer in your mind from your intuition. You can ask your car what it thinks of you, you can even ask money what it thinks of you.” Like you don’t know where this is going, Smith walks away from the camera and picks up the Oscar from him and looks like he starts to say something as the video ends.

Since that slap at the Academy Awards last year, due to Smith taking offense to his jokes about his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith, Smith has addressed the incident multiple times. The actor apologized to Rock a day after the slap, calling his behavior “unacceptable and inexcusable.”. A few months later, the actor released a six-minute video explaining his actions in more detail. “I am deeply sorry, and I am trying to be sorry without being ashamed of myself,” Smith said at the time. “I’m human, I made a mistake and I’m trying not to think of myself as a piece of s—–.”
After the incident, Smith was banned from the Academy Awards for 10 years. While promoting his latest film “Into Freedom,” which was previously expected to be an awards contender, Smith opened up about how his distant relationship with the Academy may have negatively affected the project’s reception. “The only discomfort my heart has is that so many people have done an amazing job on this movie,” Ella Smith said. “I definitely lose a couple of seconds of sleep every night thinking I could have penalized my team, but I’ll do everything I can to make sure everyone is seen in the light they deserve.”
More recently, Smith broke down in tears talking to Trevor Noah on The Daily Showrecalling past traumas and “an rage that had been repressed for a long time”: “That was a horrible night, as you can imagine. There are many nuances and complexities. But, at the end of the day, I lost myself, and I guess I would say, you never know what someone is going through.Smith confessed, adding: “That’s not who I want to be.”
The next Oscar ceremony, the 95th edition, will be broadcast on March 12 and in Hollywood it seems that that moment has been left behind. Also the movie star wants to leave it like that. This latest TikTok demonstrates this by having a distinctly different tone. Now it seems that Smith is ready to joke about the slap, as Rock himself or Eddie Murphy have done. After all, laughter is good for healing wounds.
Going back to the TikTok video… What will that Oscar have answered?
