Who would have thought that the career of such a successful actor as Will Smith would begin to fall apart due to one rash act. After the movie star slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, his number of roles has dwindled.
Information appeared in the Western media that Disney intends to terminate cooperation with Smith.
Insiders report that they want to deprive the scandalous actor of the role of Genie in the continuation of the film “Aladdin”. Recall that the project, filmed by Guy Ritchie in 2019, was very successful and brought in more than $ 1 billion at the box office.
Will Smith did an excellent job with the role and his image of the Genie fell in love with the audience as well as the former incarnation of the character by Robin Williams in the cartoon “Aladdin”.
However, after the failed “Oscar” the second part of the picture is in question. Disney is rumored to be in talks with another actor, Dwayne Johnson.
Recall that Will Smith at the Oscars slapped a powerful slap in the face to another actor – Chris Rock – for a tough joke about his wife. This event became one of the most scandalous moments of the evening.
After that, Smith was forced to refuse membership of the Academy and now will not be able to attend the Oscars for ten years.
