Will Smith on Monday apologised to Chris Rock after being condemned by the awards organisers for hitting him on an international platform..
During the Oscars, Chris said, "Jada, I love you, G I Jane 2, can't wait to see it." Cris referred to the GI Jane movie where Demi Moore shaved her head for her role in the 1997 film.
However, Jada shaved her hair due to a medical condition. She has been very open about her battle with alopecia, a hair loss condition, for years now.
Though Will initially laughed at the joke, upon seeing Jada's reaction, Will's anger fuelled and he smacked Chris across the face in the middle of his act, on stage.
