Before actor Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars Sunday night, the comedian made a quip about Jada Pinkett Smith that alluded to her shaved head.

“Jada, I love ya. G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it,” Rock said, comparing Pinkett Smith’s close-cropped hair to Demi Moore’s buzzcut in the 1997 action film.
