The image is called to make date. Will Smith leaping from his seat in the middle of the Oscars ceremony, to deliver a masterful slap to Chris Rock. The American actor had very little taste of a joke from the comedian on the shaved head of his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith. “Jada, I love you GI Jane 2, we can’t wait to see you in it.“, said Chris Rock. But could the latter actually ignore that the actress suffered from alopecia, a disease that causes hair loss? Yes, according to a relative of the comedian who spoke to the American site TMZ. “Chris didn’t know that Jada had alopecia.”, he confided.
However, this joke was not Chris Rock’s first on the subject and while Jada Pinkett-Smith had openly confided in her illness several months ago, it is surprising that the comedian missed this information. . “He doesn’t have an ounce of wickedness in him“, however, insists the close to the actor.
