The Will Smith slap continues to generate more headlines, hot takes and different angles even a couple of weeks after it all went down and the latest development is a video immediately following the incident where Bradley Cooper seems to be consoling Smith.

The clip was shared on TikTok and takes place during the non televised interval of the show. Celebrities such as Lupita Nyong’o, Tracee Ellis Ross and Cynthia Erivo can be seen chattering away, before the camera pans to Smith and Cooper, where Cooper seems to be very understanding of the situation, shaking his head and resting his arm on Will Smith’s shoulder.

Take a look at it below and see what you make of it:

Yeah I’m not really sure why that footage has been ‘leaked’ or whatever now or what it’s really going to do to help/hinder the situation, but I suppose it’s vaguely interesting that Bradley Cooper seems to be on Will Smith’s side in all of this, despite the fact he just slapped Chris Rock over a vaguely insulting joke. Very vaguely interesting.

Hollywood is weird man – I guess Chris Rock styled it out and went on to present the award, but it doesn’t seem like anyone even cared if he was OK after he got hit in the face? Maybe footage of that will drop in the next couple of days though, who knows?

For more of the same, check out this resurfaced video of Jada Pinkett Smith saying that she didn’t even want to marry Will Smith. What a strange relationship those two have.
