Will Smith is the Oscar-winning actor and rapper behind hits from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to King Richard, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor.
At the 94th Academy Awards in March 2022, Smith walked onstage and slapped presenter Chris Rock live on television after a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith — the infamous ‘Oscars slap.’ Val Chmerkovskiy invoked that moment in his deleted 2026 post, writing ‘You almost saw the Fresh Prince enter the ballroom last night.’
