The two actors could be seen chatting to WS off to the side, and they eventually led him back to his table … where he was embraced by someone else. Will is said to have been apparently wiping tears from his eyes.

UPDATE

It’s unclear if he’ll be allowed to stay for the rest of the show.

In a truly shocking moment, Will Smith just smacked Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith at The Oscars.

Chris was up on stage Sunday presenting for Best Documentary, but before he started naming the nominees … he was firing off zingers to the crowd, and eventually landed on Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Chris made a comment about Jada’s shaved head … saying he couldn’t wait to see ‘G.I. Jane 2’ — which got some groans from the crowd, to which he just sorta shrugged off.

Chris didn’t think he’d crossed a line, but Will clearly did … because he stormed the stage and literally socked the dude in the face. A stunned Rock exclaimed, “Wow. Will Smith just smacked the s*** outta me.”

ABC

The American broadcast on ABC muted, and even froze, but in other countries it continued … and Will shouted “Keep my wife’s name out your f****** mouth” twice to Chris.
