Josh Brolin has admitted that a part of him “wanted to be in the centre of” the drama that ensued at the 94th Oscars, when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on live television.
“I was at the Oscars and I couldn’t stop pacing,” Brolin said on the latest episode of the podcast Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.
The Academy Award-nominated actor spoke about the incident last month that occurred after Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, referencing her shaved head.
“Because part of me wanted to be in the centre of it,” he said of his mindset at the time.
