Dude slapped away his career.

He was well washed out before the slap.

I mean... Five minutes before the slap, he was sitting in his front-row seat at an internationally-televised award ceremony where he had just been nominated for two of the most coveted honors in cinema. I dunno if he was that bad off.

My boy, he won the Oscar for best actor on slap night. He was still pissing gold.

Goes to show how much the slap stole the show, cause I can't even recall what he was nominated for. Had to look it up, but he won for King Richard (the movie about Sernea and Venus Williams).

That reminds me. Some social media feminists were furious that movie about Williams sisters is named after a man.

I was like, they're both executive producers and their other sister (Isha Price) was also involved in the making of the film. Maybe they wanted to honour their dad?

Eh....not really. He hadn't done anything Independence Day level for a while but he was still cranking out popular shit. That movie about the Williams sisters was only 1 year before he threw it all away and that did pretty well.

He was there literally receiving an award for that movie, even
