Nicole Kidman’s hilarious reaction to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock on stage has gone viral.
During the 94th Academy Awards on Sunday, Will Smith shocked the audience and the viewers by striking presenter Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about his wife’s medical condition.
While all of us reacted differently to the notorious slap that stained the prestigious event, few reactions beat that of the Rabbit Hole star and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman who was left with her mouth wide open after Smith “slapped the s***” out of Rock.
Since the Sunday incident, the moment has been made into a meme, whereas viewers couldn’t help but see the funny side of Kidman’s “priceless” reaction worthy of an Oscar.
“Nicole Kidman reacting to the Chris Rock and Will Smith incident at the #Oscars. A NEW MEME IS BORN,” someone wrote.
“Nicole Kidman should win the Oscar for Best Reaction To Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock,” another tweeted.
The third viewer said: “Nicole Kidman’s reaction to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock is literally me reacting to everything that has even happened.”
As it happens, this isn’t the first time the beloved actress sparked a hilarious debate on social media.
Back in 2017, Kidman became the center of an Academy Awards debate after a screenshot of her “clapping like a seal” went viral.
“Anyone see Nicole Kidman clapping? She claps like a seal. Awesome,” someone wrote.
“Why does Nicole Kidman clap her hands like that? Weird. Clap like a normal person,” another added.
Following the debate, the actress spoke out in an interview with KIIS FM’s Kyle And Jackie O and explained the reason behind her seal-like clapping technique saying she was afraid she would damage her massive diamond ring should she clap normally.
“It was really awkward, and I was like: ‘Gosh, I really want to clap.’ I don’t want to not be clapping, which would be worse right?” she said.
“So therefore I’m clapping but it was really difficult because I had this huge ring on which was not my own but was absolutely gorgeous and I was terrified of damaging it.”
