During the Oscars, Chris Rock was up on stage, ready to present an award. However, being a comedian, he couldn’t help but flare his comedic side. He took the chance to joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia. While he said he looks forward to watching her new movie, Smith did not appreciate the joke. He went up on stage and jokingly punched Rock. While it seemed like a playful moment, Smith’s mood changed when he got back to his seat.
