Will Smith confesses Kevin Hart and The Rock were kicking his ass at the box office

Will Smith had already appeared in controlled interviews after he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars last year, he still hadn't made an appearance where he felt more open and comfortable. One of the people who is his great friend and from Philadelphia as well is comedian Kevin Hart. He happens to have a show on Peacock called 'Heart to Heart', where he interviews other celebrities in a more intimate setting. This is not like his show 'Cold as Balls' from the LOL Network. Hart gets to ask difficult questions and get more into the craft of the person he has in front of him. People expected him to ask a question about the infamous slap but Keving Hart understood it was a played out subject matter. No questions about that came but he did get real about competition at the box office.

Clearly, Will Smith was sort of joking when he quipped that but parts of what he said are definitely rooted in reality. There was a moment in which the actor made the decision to stop trying to make films that were confirmed box office hits before they were even made. He took a route that eventually took him back to making Academy Award-winning movies. We all know how that panned out last year, he won an Oscar for his performance in 'King Richard' in spite of everything that happened during the ceremony. But again, no mention of the slap and maybe a good decision on Kevin Hart's part. He wanted to make Will Smith feel comfortable and open up about other topics.
