The world left reeling when the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor stormed on stage to confront Chris Rock at the star-studded ceremony in March, after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair. He later issued an apology and announced his resignation from the Academy, with the organization banning him for a decade.

Speaking about the incident during the first night of their joint tour, at the M&S Arena in Liverpool, Dave reportedly asked his pal if the attack ‘hurt’. Chris didn’t hold back with his response, and is thought to have replied: ‘Goddam right… the motherf***er hit me over a bulls**t joke, the nicest joke I ever told. ’ According to multiple reports, Dave then shared his own opinions on what went down on that fateful night, explaining: ‘A lot of people forget who Will Smith is.

‘Will did the impression of a perfect person for 30 years, and he ripped his mask off and showed us he was as ugly as the rest of us. ‘Whatever the consequences are… I hope he doesn’t put his mask back on again, and lets his real face breathe. ‘I see myself in both men.

‘I will say to you Chris, I apologize to you, my behavior was unacceptable, and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk. Will apologized for the slap shortly after (Picture: Getty) ‘I spent the last three months replaying and understanding the nuances and the complexities of what happened in that moment, and I’m not going to try to unpack all of that right now. ‘But I can say to all of you – there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment.
