As Will Smith flies to India to meet a guru in a desperate attempt to rehabilitate his public image after Chris Rock’s shameful slap in the face at the Oscars ceremony, the one that saw him clutching the statuette for Best Actor for A winning family – King Richard, the comedian enjoys his golden age without too many compliments. Although Jada Pinkett Smith’s joke about alopecia was not funny and was somewhat free, Rock managed to win the sympathy of the public and the international press especially for the savoir faire which he demonstrated on the stage of the Dolby Theater, where many would have lost their temper by letting themselves go to a much more disordered and unpredictable reaction.

Justice on his behalf is already unleashing Hollywood, as the Academy has decided to ban Will Smith for ten years from the ceremony and two projects that would have seen him protagonist – Bright 2 And Bad Boys 4 – have been paused waiting to figure out how to move. And while rumors of a possible crisis with his wife Jada Pinkett, the victim of Rock’s joke, are also running around, Chris continues to be smarter than everyone, given that, by choosing not to rant about what happened, he is increasingly adopting the semblance of the martyr, a figure that Hollywood always looks at with a mixture of reverence and respect.
