After Will Smith’s altercation with Chris Rock at the Oscars, there have been viral videos that show that he once joked about a man’s baldness.
Bass player, John B Williams says he clearly remembers the moment more than 30 years ago when Will Smith pointed him out during an episode of The Arsenio Hall Show and cracked a joke about his bald head.
The clip started blowing up in the aftermath of the Oscars when he slapped Chris Rock because he compared Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, to G.I Jane, a movie character with a buzzcut played by Demi Moore.
In Will’s joke more than 30 years ago, he said, “The bass player? He got a rule. He got to wax his head every morning. That’s a rule! He follows the rules, man. He follows the rules”.
