Will Smith had an up close and personal encounter with a reporter on Friday that caused him to lash out with a backhanded slap to the guy’s face.
The actor was schmoozing with the crowd at the premiere of Men in Black III when Ukrainian television personality Vitalii Sediuk pecked both of Smith’s cheeks before attempting to kiss him on the mouth.
Smith gave the guy a shove and shouted, “Come on man. What the hell is your problem buddy.”
Quickly regaining his composure as he continued down the red carpet, the actor said, “Sorry. He kissed me on the mouth. The joker is lucky I didn’t sucker punch him.”
One of his female handlers said, “I’m so sorry.” He quickly dismissed the ruckus, “No, no. It’s all good.”
