Andrew Garfield mimics Will Smith’s slap after Oscars 2022 in viral video
Even Andrew Garfield couldn’t get over the slap heard around the world.
While leaving the 2022 Oscars, the Best Actor nominee was spotted walking up to a group of friends and saying, “What the f–k are you doing?” before smacking the air and laughing.
The on-camera moment, which was posted to unCrazed’s YouTube account Thursday, mimicked Will Smith slapping Chris Rock across the face at Sunday’s awards show.
It was not Garfield’s only viral moment that night. He was previously seen texting in the middle of the 94th annual Academy Awards.
“Andrew Garfield texting the other Peter Parkers to see if Will Smith slapped Chris Rock in their universes too,” one viewer tweeted along with a screenshot of the former “Spider-Man” star, 38, looking down at his phone in the audience.
“andrew garfield is so real for being on his phone looking through will smith tweets at the oscars,” another wrote.
“Andrew Garfield checking his phone like ‘This s–t just happened,'” a third fan added.
At another point in the night, Smith, 53, and Garfield were seen chatting, and the “Tick, Tick… Boom!” star even went in for a hug with his fellow nominee.
Smith made headlines Sunday after Rock, 57, jokingly compared his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head to Demi Moore’s bald “G.I. Jane” character while presenting an award. After seeing that Pinkett Smith, who suffers from alopecia, was upset, the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” alum stormed the stage and smacked a stunned Rock.
Smith then apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees while accepting the Best Actor award for his role in “King Richard.” The following day, he issued a formal apology to Rock on social media.
The Academy said it is investigating the incident in a “formal review” that will “explore further action and consequences” for Smith’s actions.
The organization has since claimed it asked the actor to leave the show and he “refused,” but TMZ sources alleged that officials had varying opinions on the matter so they never actually reached a decision.
