While presenting the award for Best Documentary Feature, the comedian took aim at Jada Pinkett Smith and joked she would be starring the next G.I Joe, referencing her shaved head.
The actress openly suffers with alopecia and was visibly displeased by the joke, rolling her eyes as it touched upon the sensitive subject.
Not taking kindly to the joke made at his wife’s expense, the King Richard star hit the comedian in the face.

When he hosted The Oscars in 2016, the Grown Ups star devoted a portion of his monologue to them.
After Jada boycotted the ceremony that year due to lack of diversity, the comedian suggested that the actress wasn’t invited in the first place.
He then went on to target Will who missed out on an acting nomination that year for his performance in Concussion.
