As Will Smith at the Oscars Demonstrated, Not Everyone Was Born ... (esquire.com)

For the male of the species, the only real test of character, on the average day at school, was whether or not you could stand being punched in the face by ...

“Confidence is half the battle, but only half.” The other half is made up by a combination of skill and determination. And three, Smith was beating up on a working man with a show to present. I suppose he represents a generation of writers out of step with current notions of woundedness, but he took from his hero Hemingway a willingness to strip down to the waist at a second’s notice and spar with anybody who happened to feel his use of the semi-colon was not all that. (I can still remember when Ken Barlow lamped Mike Baldwin on Coronation Street; it seemed, in 1986, as if the spirit of ancient justice had just visited our living rooms.) This was a country in which a person behaving like an arsehole could expect a slap, and I’m not sure that wasn’t better, more natural and fundamentally more reasonable, than today’s kids tooling up for warfare over “respect”. But a bit of silliness can be a remedy in certain circs. One, it wasn’t a punch but a flaccid old slap, like a wet fish landing on a rubber mat inclose proximity to a working microphone. My friend Jack goes to the gym every second day and he’s built like a brick shithouse. The only genuine shitebag in the family (including my mum) was me, who wanted to call in Acas, the arbitration service, the local priest, or the United Nations every time somebody asked me for a square-go. “I’m all about the peace,” he tells me, “but you have to admit, it’s a bit insulting for a guy to realise that the time is coming when people would rather give up their seat to you than punch your lights out.” For the male of the species, the only real test of character, on the average day at school, was whether or not you could stand being punched in the face by Sammy Begg. My grandfather was a spongeman for the Glasgow pugilist Benny Lynch, and he packed a fair punch himself, going 12 rounds with the roughest guys in the Gorbals. In the lexicon of old Ayrshire, you were about to get a “doing” — a thrashing, a pummelling, a pasting, a kicking — and your nascent wit was mere chaff to the wind as you faced the bull of Kilbirnie.

Smith apologised for his behaviour the day after the Oscars and resigned from membership of the Academy later that week. “There’s no part of me that thinks that’s the optimal way to handle a feeling of disrespect or insults.” Such a fall was described by Henry Schafer, executive vice president of Q Score as “a very significant and precipitous decline”. Smith’s negative rating went up from less than 10 to 26 (the average score is about 16 or 17). [Smith said in the video](https://www.theguardian.com/film/video/2022/jul/29/will-smith-deeply-remorseful-slapping-chris-rock-video).

At the very least, it seems that Will Smith is ready to make the attempt and enlist any ape-related memes he needs in order to do so. In the wake of the Academy Award incident, Will Smith voluntarily resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, becoming only the third individual to ever do so. The Academy went on to ban Will Smith from any events (including its award ceremony) for the next ten years. The now-infamous Academy Award slap managed to wipe out decades of public goodwill in an instant, though there had already been some cracks in the Smith family persona prior to that. It can be assumed that Will Smith is posting this video in the spirit of light self-deprecation and awareness that not everyone in the world feels great about him, some months after he publicly slapped comedian Chris Rock and then screamed profanities from his seat. [Suicide Squad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_Squad_(film)) (the first one, not the good one) and Netflix’s [Bright](https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/bright-2.html), he seemed ready to make comeback.

His eldest son Trey Smith stood right by him in disbelief as the tarantula calmly went on its way.
