Here’s How Emancipation’s Role Affected Will Smith!

August 4, 2023 by Areej Afzal

Will Smith recently opened up about the toll his role in Emancipation took on him while speaking to Kevin Hart on Peacock show Hart to Heart. He shared, “I went too far in Emancipation.” The actor revealed that even the thought of his character made him “teary-eyed,” stating, “Just bringing it up, I start to get teary.” Emancipation, directed by Antoine Fuqua, is based on the true story of a man who “escaped slavery,” inspired by the famous 1863 photo of Whipped Peter.

Smith admitted that he wanted to deeply feel the degradation of slavery, and he felt he went too far into the character. He expressed his emotions during the filming, saying, “I wanted to feel the degradation of slavery, and I went too far in. The level of human brutality, what we will do to each other.”

Regarding the filming process, the actor shared a distressing incident when the crew had trouble removing his neck chains, causing him to panic. “I was like, ‘I want the real weight. I want the real chains,'” he said. They used old chains that didn’t work, leaving him on the verge of hyperventilating, trapped in the character’s experience.

While the physical chains were eventually removed, the emotional impact of the character stayed with Smith for a long time. Despite the challenges, he considered the role one of the greatest experiences in his career as an actor, stating, “The character Peter introduced me to God. My faith got solid after working on that movie.” Emancipation clearly had a profound effect on Smith and left a lasting impression on his journey as an actor and as a person.

Oscars 2023: Will Smith slap Incident mentioned by Jimmy Kimmel

March 11, 2023 by Qurat ul Ain Khan Qurat ul Ain

Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at Will Smith’s infamous incident by pointing out the carpet’s new colour.
The red carpet is the symbol of any celebrity-studded event in show business.
The Oscars 2023 preparations are currently underway.

Ahead of the Oscars in 2023, host Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at Will Smith’s infamous incident by pointing out the carpet’s new colour.

The red carpet is the symbol of any celebrity-studded event in show business, but the Oscars 2023 have other plans. For the first time, the Academy Awards will use a champagne-colored carpet, breaking with decades of tradition. While the reason for the carpet’s change in colour is being debated, Jimmy Kimmel has a rather amusing explanation involving Will Smith’s infamous incident.

One of the most memorable moments from the Oscars 2022 was Smith slapping comedian Chris Rock in the face after the latter made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s baldness. Despite the fact that the infamous incident occurred a year ago, discussions and jokes about it have never stopped.

The Oscars 2023 preparations are currently underway, and host Jimmy Kimmel is keeping everyone up to date. The upcoming Oscars ceremony will be the host’s third. In a recent video, Kimmel stood outside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, discussing the decision to change the carpet’s colour. Kimmel discussed the ongoing debate over whether there will be any trouble at the Oscars this year, and expressed his hope that there will be none.

He further took a dig at Will Smith’s slap gate incident and joked the champagne colour signifies the award show will not have any bloodshed. Jimmy Kimmel said, “But if there is, I think the decision to go with a champagne carpet rather than a red carpet shows how confident we are that no blood will be shed.” He added how such a thing can only happen in Hollywood and said, “I’ve never really done play-by-play for carpeting before.”

While there are several theories about the Oscars 2023 carpet’s colour change, it appears to be a creative change. Lisa Love and Met Gala creative director Raul Avila advised on the decision and ensured that the carpet covered the entire floor. Furthermore, Love stated that they wanted to change the show from a day event to a night event.
