Actor Will Smith stormed the Oscars stage and struck comedian Chris Rock across the face for joking about his wife, in a moment at Sunday’s gala that immediately went viral and left viewers stunned.

We got one of the most shocking moments in Oscar's history after Chris took the stage to present an Oscar for ‘Best Documentary Feature’ and made a movie ‘G.I. Jane’s' joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head.

After slapping, Will returned to his seat and said, “Keep my wife's name out of your (redacted) mouth.” Chris, who was trying to understand what just happened, said to the audience, “Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me. It was a G.I. Jane joke. That was the greatest night in the history of
Television.”

Smith, alluded to the chaotic incident in his acceptance speech for best actor, which he won for his role as the father of tennis greats Venus and Serena Williams in “King Richard.”

With tears running down his cheeks, Smith said that “Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family,” and that “art imitates life.”

“I look like the crazy father, just like they said about Richard Williams. But love will make you do crazy things,” he added.

“I’m hoping the Academy invites me back,” Smith said after apologizing to event organizers and his fellow nominees.
