In Hollywood, there are always changing alliances and enemies. For example, Will Smith and Chris Rock have been friends for a long time, but they have also had their share of feuds. Recently, they teamed up to produce the movie “Bright,” which is set to be released this December. However, their past feuds might not be so forgotten after all.
Chris Rock’s Relationship with Will Smith
Chris Rock has long been one of Hollywood’s most outspoken and controversial comedians. His relentless criticism of the entertainment industry and his taunts of celebrities have made him a favorite among many comedy fans. But when it comes to Will Smith and Chris Rock, Rock is quick to criticize the Hollywood superstar.
Smith is one of Rock’s biggest allies in Hollywood, having starred in several of the comedian’s movies including “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “Men In Black.” But Rock has never hesitated to roast Smith mercilessly on stage.
In February, Rock hosted the Academy Awards and roasted Smith during his opening monologue. “Will Smith and Chris Rock, I want to say this right now: You are a terrible actor,” Rock said. “You can’t even string two sentences together.”
Rock’s disdain for Smith is nothing new. The comedian has been publicly critical of the actor for years, even going so far as to call him a “clown” in an interview with GQ.
But despite their disagreements, Rock continues to work with Smith. The two recently appeared together in the movie “Suicide Squad,” where they played rival attorneys.
Whether their collaborations are because they respect each other or simply tolerate one another
How Chris Rock’s Apology Affects Will Smith’s Career
Will Smith and Chris Rock have been longtime friends, but that changed after Rock issued an apology for his comments on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor.” Smith has since distanced himself from Rock, and their relationship may now be in jeopardy. Smith’s career could be adversely affected if he continues to distance himself from Rock.Rock’s apology was sincere and reflected the fact that he had made a mistake. Smith should take heed of this, as it would be detrimental for his career to alienate a powerful ally.Smith has long enjoyed a strong relationship with Hollywood executives and will likely continue to do so. However, he may lose some fans if he continues to feud with Rock over ideological differences.
The Future of Their Collaborations
It’s no secret that Will Smith and Chris Rock have had their share of disagreements in the past. But over the past few months, the two Hollywood icons appear to be working together more often than ever. This is likely due to their shared admiration for one another’s work, as well as their mutual desire to put out quality content.
However, while they may be teaming up more often onscreen, their relationship off of it is still tense. Rock has been vocal about his disdain for Smith’s recent films (most notably “Suicide Squad”), while Smith has criticized Rock’s stand-up routines. It seems like these two icons are going to have to continue working through their differences if they want to keep up their collaborations.
