Billy Crystal thinks Will Smith's Oscar slap was "assault".
The 74-year-old actor has labelled the incident at the 94th Academy Awards, which saw Smith smack Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about the shaven head of Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, as "disturbing" and an "assault".
Smith later picked up his Best Actor statuette for his role in King Richard,
Crystal said: "It was a most disturbing incident for sure. It was an assault. I've had experiences. I hosted the Grammys three times and I've been thrown things."
The City Slickers star - who has hosted the annual Oscars ceremony nine times over the course of his career - went on to explain that when he was at the helm of the Academy Awards he always felt that there should be a procedure in place should such an incident arise.
