Will Smith says 'sweetest' nephew asked question after Oscars slap

Will Smith is sharing a life changing moment he witnessed with his nephew after Oscars slapgate.

The actor, who came under fire for slapping host Chris Rock at the Oscars, is now banned from the award ceremony.

In a recent conversation with Trevor Noah, the Will spoke tearfully about his 'sweetest' nephew.

"My nephew Dom is nine and he’s the sweetest little boy. We came home and he had stayed up late to see his Uncle Will.

"We’re sitting in my kitchen, and he’s on my lap and he’s holding the Oscar, and he’s just like, 'Why did you hit that man, Uncle Will?'," the actor admitted during an appearance on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

Will then started searching for a tissue.

The confession comes amid the promotional leg of upcoming movie Emancipation.
