Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at The Oscars was a surprise to everyone, but new information that was released today has everyone scratching their heads. 

In a new video released by Inside Edition, it shows Smith demonstrating his fake slapping skills. 

The video was taken at a “King Richard” screening in Los Angeles back in November 2021 after a young kid asked Smith how he learned to pantomime hitting someone. 

This may just be a coincidence, but what do you think?
