Will Smith was shattered after the infamous incidents but the former boxer Floyd Mayweather became his support.

Will Smith Reveals How Floyd Mayweather ‘Called’ Him Post Oscar Slapgate Fiasco

It has always been said one wrong turn can take you to a place that you
certainly never wished to visit. This is what happened with Will Smith when he
smacked Chris Rock at the Oscar night on March 27, 2022. To defend his wife, he
did take this momentous action which cost him weeks of disgrace and backlash.
The slap was heard by the world, making frequent headlines in the news while the
video went viral on social media.



People trolled The King Richard star for expressing his anger through violence.
The actor was instantly banned from attending all the Academy award functions
for ten years. After that, the whole Smith family laid low without catching
public attention because Will was deeply affected by the incident. However,
there was someone who constantly supported and cheered the MIB star in his dark
times. He recently revealed how Floyd Mayweather was one of them.


FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. CONSOLED WILL SMITH AFTER HIS ALTERCATION WITH CHRIS ROCK

It has been more than seven months

since the infamous incident took place at the 2022 Oscar Awards. Things have
started coming back to normal for Will Smith and he is trying to bring things
back on track. However, that slap gate completely tarnished his image as an
iconic Hollywood star, making him the hot topic of the town for weeks.

But he did not lose hope because there were people who backed him in those
complicated times. In a recent video shared on social media, we saw the Bad Boys
star mentioning one of those names. He took the opportunity to appreciate the
former boxer Floyd Mayweather,

The actor stated that even though they both were not friends, Mayweather called
him every day for ten days. He consoled Smith that he is a good man and talked
to him so he didn’t feel alone and boycotted.

“You know you like the champ, right? I want you to hear my voice say it.’ That
was every day he called me…and he’s like, that’s my friend forever,” revealed
Smith.
