Will Smith Smith[/B] fears that the slap he gave at last year's Oscars to his colleague and awards ceremony host Chris Rock will affect the success of his new film "Emancipation" and do injustice to the team behind it.
After the incident, although he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for "King Richard," the actor resigned from the Academy, posted a lengthy apology on social media and was given a 10-year ban from the Oscars for "unacceptable and harmful behavior."
Speaking to EW, participating in a discussion with Ben Foster and Charmaine Bingua about Emancipation, Smith acknowledges that the prolonged focus on his actions last March changed the way some may view the upcoming Apple TV+ drama.
"The only discomfort in my heart is that so many people have done spectacular work on this film," he said."
"I hope my team isn't punished for my actions. I think [DIRECTOR ANTOINE FUQUA] and [CINEMATOGRAPHER ROBERT RICHARDSON] and Ben and Charmaine have all done such spectacular work. I'm definitely losing sleep. Every night I think that I may have possibly punished my team, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure everyone gets the publicity they deserve."
