Will Smith hits Chris Rock – level 2

Will Smith smacks Chris Rock at the Oscars

01-04-2022 07:00

Actor Will Smith smacked Oscar host Chris Rock at the Oscars 2022.

Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Rock said that he was looking forward to ‘G. I. Jane 2’. G. I. Jane was a movie from 1997 with Demi Moore, who had a very short haircut. The joke meant that Smith looked similar to G. I. Jane. Will Smith stood up, walked onstage, smacked Rock, walked to his seat, and shouted angrily at Rock.

In 2018, Jada Pinket Smith said that she had alopecia. Alopecia is a disease when a person loses hair. The patient often has spots with no hair on the scalp, but sometimes it can affect the whole body. Scientists don’t know what causes this disease, but they think that stress and illness can cause it.

Difficult words: smack (to hit someone with the hand), spot (a specific place or point), scalp (the skin on the head).
