Chris Rock Spotted in L.A. Ahead of the Oscars and Two Years After Will Smith Slapped Him


The comedian was out and about in West Hollywood. No word if he'll make an appearance Sunday at the Oscars.

According to Page Six, who was first to report Rock's outing, the comedian was spotted outside the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood around 3 p.m. on Thursday afternoon. Rock's outing in Los Angeles just three days before the Oscars comes two years after Smith slapped him onstage live on television during the broadcast of the 2022 Academy Awards. The 2024 Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, airs live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 10, at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m.
