In the generally unfunny Will Smith slap saga at the 2022 Oscars, British comedian Ricky Gervais has once again shared a humorous take following the Academy`s ban of the actor.
Even though the Academy of Motion Picture`s 10-year ban has had mixed reactions Gervais had the wittiest comment.
The comedian, who had previously stated that Chris Rock`s joke about Jada Pinkett Smith`s hair was "like the tamest joke I would`ve ever told," took to his Twitter handle following the ban`s announcement and commented, "Hopefully, he`ll only do 6 years with good behaviour."
As per Deadline, earlier on being inquired what would have happened to him in the same circumstances he replied, "Nothing would happen to me because I wouldn`t have told a joke about his wife`s hair. I`d have told a joke about her boyfriend."
Pinkett Smith has said she was "in a relationship" with a younger man when she and Smith were on a break from their relationship in 2020.
For the unversed, while presenting the best documentary feature award at the 2022 Oscars, Rock made a joke about Smith`s wife Pinkett Smith`s shaved head.
Rock said he couldn`t wait to see Pinkett Smith, who has alopecia areata, star in `G.I. Jane 2` which led Smith to go up on stage and slap Rock. Smith returned to his seat and shouted, "Keep my wife`s name out of your fu**ing mouth!"
