Will Smith learned about the #OscarsBoycott from the paparazzi not his wife.
Will Smith revealed more details about how he learned (after the fact) that his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, had posted a video to her Facebook page in which she said that she was going to boycott the 2016 Oscars.
Her message had already gone viral before her husband learned of it. But, surprisingly, Will Smith revealed he learned the news from the paparazzi.
“I was in Thailand. And I get off of the plane and you know, the paparazzi are like “Will! Will! You’re not going to the Oscars. What do you think about Jada’s video? … I had no idea,” Smith said on BBC 1 radio, explaining that he had to Google the video.
“Let me tell you if I was the only person of color nominated, my wife would have made two videos,” he said, laughing. “She would not have gone with me. Trust.”
