Chris Rock says he turned down the 2023 Oscars

The 2022 Oscars ceremony was marked by the confusion between Chris Rock and Will Smith. The comedian, who was presenting an award category, joked with Jada Pinkett Smith, Will’s wife.

The actor didn’t like Rock’s attempt to joke, as the joke was about his wife’s illness, so he took the stage and slapped the comedian, who didn’t respond.

In retribution for his act, Will Smith was sentenced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Board of Oscars to stay 10 years without attending the ceremony. The actor has also resigned from his post as a member of the Academy.

Meanwhile, Chris Rock has already renewed his Oscar invitation. The comedian announced this week that he was invited to host the ceremony again in 2023, but has decided to decline the invitation.

The statement was released at the Arizona Financial Theater in downtown Phoenix, United States. Rock also claimed he received an invite for a Super Bowl commercial, but declined.

Will Smith proves the return on social networks with a curious and funny video

A post posted by Will Smith on his Instagram account was seen as proof of the actor’s return to social media. He used a well-known video, in which a baby monkey appears to be annoying an adult gorilla, who is sitting quietly.

Until then, patience runs out. And the big one goes after the little one. The scene ends like this. Look:

In the comments to the post on the social network, which has already exceeded one million likes, Will Smith has garnered a lot of support. Among the most famous figures who have come out in favor of the actor, there is Justin Bieber, who said “we miss you”.

The meaning of the post caption is that the animal scenes have a metaphorical tone about the actor trying to get back on social media. But with social media not being very friendly to him.
