Daniel Radcliffe Declares He’s “Bored” With the Oscars Slap Rumors
Harry Potter’s star, 32‑year‑old Daniel Radcliffe, told Good Morning Britain that he’s “dramatically bored” of the endless chatter about Will Smith’s bout with Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards.
Why the Boredom?
During a quick interview with Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard, Radcliffe admitted:
- “I saw it, but I’m tired of people’s opinions.”
- “I don’t want to add another voice to the noise.”
Susanna teased, “You don’t even want to hear yourself?” Radcliffe didn’t budge: “No, no, not at all.”
The Aftermath at the Oscars
After winning Best Actor for his turn as Richard Williams in King Richard, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock in a moment that reverberated across the globe. The actor later issued a heartfelt Instagram apology:
“Jokes at my expense are part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much. I reacted emotionally. I’m sorry, Chris. I was out of line and wrong. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.” – Will Smith
Academy’s Take‑Down
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has put the incident “under review.” The process could take weeks. In a statement, they noted that Smith had been asked to leave the ceremony but was reluctant to comply. They added:
“Things unfolded in a way we could not have anticipated. While we would like to clarify that Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognise we could have handled the situation differently.” – Academy
Meanwhile, Radcliffe sticks his head in the sand, eager to steer the conversation away from yet another opinion loop.
What This Means for Fans
- Will’s apology shows a willingness to own up and move forward.
- Radcliffe’s comment suggests celebrities are wearing out of the “publically talking” itch.
- The Academy is still deciding whether a slap of theatrical jest is “acceptable.”
So buckle up, film buffs—this Hollywood drama is still evolving, and for Radcliffe, the best fight‑something‑else is to keep his silence loud and sharp.
