Will Smith slaps reporter.
Just noticed this doing the rounds on Twitter.

IMO a massive over reaction on Smith's part. Silly.

How...?! Forcibly trying to kiss someone could be classed as sexual assault....that guy is lucky he only got a slap...
Not really, the man tried to kiss him on the lips. No over reaction at all.
Looks like kisses cheek to me. Big over reaction by Smith.
Which is a traditional greeting in some countries.
Ooops, he was working overtime on giving a good impression while in London recently.
I didn't think the slap was funny, but the faces of the people around Will Smith were priceless! They looked like he'd just run over their new puppy.
I should imagine the only thing that hurt was the reporter's pride. I bet he felt like a right tw*t.
Or wanted to greet him in the traditional way. Do they kiss on both cheeks when greeting in Moscow, where he was? Would Will have caused a fuss if he was in Japan and they bowed when meeting him?
PR disaster I think.
Ok this is what I see
Reported air kisses first (the norm) then actually kisses Will's cheek, then moves to kiss his lips while holding on tight around his neck. Will reacts by moving his head so the reporter misses his lips.
Just ignore Will for a second and watch the reporters head movements after the cheek kiss. It looks to me like he is trying to kiss him on the lips immediately after he kisses his cheek.
Again just watch the reporter after the kiss cheek he is surely going to plant his lips on Will's. I'm not seeing things am I?
It looks like a tap from the first angle, but from the second it was definitely more than a tap. Not uncalled for though if he was trying it on.

I wonder what the result would have been without the cameras around?
That reporter is a good-looking young man.
Guess we'll never know.
agree 100%. the idiot who tried to kiss him was so embarassed too.
Nice slap, Will.
No I agree, I'm not defending the reporter. He shouldn't really have invaded someone's personal space like that. I suspect it was meant as a prank and it backfired.
Who said they thought it was ok?
The majority of comments I've read on the Internet about it, so far, have all supported Will Smith.
R Kelly was found innocent by a jury of his hometown peers after he released a hit album despite the very clear video evidence.
Hitler was considered a social revolutionary who kickstarted the German automobile and film industries.
Public opinion is garbage.
To be fair he has every right to react... personal space and all, but the slap is unecessary. I understand other countries greetings thats fine, but the guy appears to kiss him or go to kiss him on the mouth abit too familiar for a interview.
The security should have intervened if they thought the situation was getting out of control. That they didn't to me suggests they didn't think it was as big a deal as Will then made it by slapping the guy after they'd been separated.
