Kevin Hart says that Will Smith is “apologetic” and “in a better space” after the infamous incident at the 2022 Oscar ceremony in which Smith slapped awards host Chris Rock.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Hart said: “Will is apologetic, you know, he’s in a better space, of course, than what he was after.
Hart was due to host the 2019 Oscars but was forced to step down in December 2018 after refusing to apologise for past homophobic comments.
Smith was not ejected from the event and was later awarded the best actor Oscar for his role in King Richard.
