Reporter Kisses Will Smith

If you were wondering what prompted Will Smith to slap a reporter? I think the picture above is worth a thousand words. Will Smith looks as if he is in turmoil as he is affectionately kissed by a reporter. 

Gossipcop reports,

The star was making his way down the red carpet when a Ukranian reporter tried to kiss the actor.

Smith was caught off guard and first pushed away the smoochy journalist before slapping him across the face with the back of his hand, asking, “What the hell is  your problem, man?”

Moments later, Smith — still on-camera — noted that the male reporter tried to kiss him on the lips, and added, “He’s lucky I ain’t sucker punched him.”

If you by chance missed the slap, check it out below. 

Recently Will Smith spoke with David Letter and he described his run in with the overly affectionate male reporter as " awkward".
