Andrew Garfield Reveals Who He Was Texting In Post-Slap Oscars Photo
Andrew Garfield reveals who he was texting after the infamous Oscars slap. This year's Academy Awards ceremony will likely go down as one of the most talked-about moments of 2022, but not because of the talented actors and filmmakers who won Oscars. During the presentation of Best Documentary Feature, Chis Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith appearing in a G.I. Jane sequel, which clearly offended her due to struggles with alopecia. While Will Smith at first laughed at the joke, he then proceeded to walk on stage, slap Rock in the face, and scream at him to keep his wife's name out of his mouth, twice.
Dozens of celebrities reacted to the incident, most condemning Smith's use of violence to respond to Rock's joke. Tyler Perry and Denzel Washington attempted to calm Smith down during a commercial break, and less than an hour later, Smith won an Oscar for his performance in King Richard. Smith's career is already being affected by the incident, by projects put on hold, and him being banned from the Academy for 10 years. More recently, images of Garfield texting after Smith slapped Rock have been circulating the internet, with many making memes about who he was talking to.
