Chris Rock recently cracked a joke about Will Smith slapping him at the 94th Academy Awards.

While doing a standup set on Thursday (May 12) at London’s Royal Albert Hall, Rock joked about the after-effects of the slap, The Telegraph reported.

“I’m OK, if anybody was wondering,” Rock said. “Got most of my hearing back.”

“Don’t expect me to talk about the bulls---,” he added. “I’ll talk about it at some point ... on Netflix.”

“Your tickets were expensive, but not that expensive,” Rock continued.

Moments before winning Best Actor for his performance in King Richard, Smith stormed onstage at the Oscars and slapped Rock for a G.I. Jane joke directed at Jada Pinkett Smith who has alopecia.

While Rock’s career is seemingly thriving more than ever, Smith’s projects have been cancelled or put on hold since the slap. – Advance Local Media LLC/Tribune News Service
