Is violence ever acceptable 07:44 - Mar 29 with 7897 viewsonceablue

This will smith incident has caused massive discussion and how you should react if someone insults you or a family member

I was taught sticks and stones can break your bones but words can never hurt me

I guess we live in such a violent society that this no longer applies

It appears now unless you go round thumping people at the earliest opportunity you are no longer a man

Going back to the Wild West dates eh

You do know they are actors.

This is true...........but I (personally) don't think he is acting. and then now he has apologised for it which pretty much means it was real.

what's Jonny Depp been in then over the last few years? His last big role was 4 years ago.

Got dropped from a Pirates of the Caribbean film and that Harry Potter Fantastic beasts, so yeah he probably has suffered as i suspect that's cost him a lot of money and roles.

And he's never won an Oscar 40 minutes after hitting someone on stage in front of a live audience, infact he's never won an Oscar!


He's the star of Louis XV, a movie, currently in pre-production and is currently filming a TV mini-series.
Before that he was the star of Minamata, rated 7.5 on IMDB.
Before that Waiting for the Barbarians.
These are all less than 4 years ago.

That was just the first actor off the top of my head.
Mark Wahlberg has been in trouble for racist stuff but still enjoys a successful acting career. There are plenty of others I can't be bothered to go into - all have done much worse than slapping someone.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

If the current government can survive being a corrupt and inept bunch of lying sociopaths I’m sure Smith’s career will be fine and this incident will be largely history once the news cycle resets onto the next outrage.

Chris Brown and R Kelly still have careers and they are literal abusers.

Depo got dragged through a very muddy and nasty abuse case involving a woman too.

To compare that with the Oscars and a slap for an arguably deserved remark is a stretch.

Minamata he was a producer of the film and the roles you are referencing are hardly huge tentpole roles either are they.

Anyway, i never said that Will Smith wouldn't get roles again just that i think his career will take a hit in terms of roles offered to him.

I could be completely wrong of course and his career will go from strength to strength!

I had a feeling you would say the roles aren't big enough!

Anyway, we shall see on Will Smith.

Well, this never hurt Eric Morecambe's career, in fact, I think it probably enhanced it......
