Actor Will Smith has spoken for the first time and apologised directly to Chris Rock after the slap at the Oscars.
In a new video released on social media, Mr Smith said he’s been doing a lot of thinking and that his behaviour was unacceptable.
“I will say to you Chris, I apologise to you, my behaviour was unacceptable, and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk,” Mr Smith said. “There’s no part of me that thinks that’s the optimal way to handle a feeling of disrespect or insults.”
