Daniel Radcliffe Was Asked About The Will Smith Oscar Slap & He Had The Smartest Response
He saw what happened to other celebs who shared their takes đź‘€
Everyone's got an opinion on Will Smith smacking Chris Rock at the Oscars, but Daniel Radcliffe had the magic touch when he was asked to give his take on Thursday.
The actor went on Good Morning Britain to promote his new movie The Lost City, where he stars alongside Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum.
The conversation got a little side-tracked when the two co-hosts brought up the slap heard around the world.
The hosts asked Radcliffe for his opinion on the incident, which started with Rock making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith on Sunday.
But the former Harry Potter star wouldn't be baited into picking a side.
Instead, he back away from the whole thing with a smile, proving that he's still The Boy Who Lived at heart.
"I'm just so already, dramatically bored of hearing people's opinions about it that I just don't want to be another opinion adding to it," Radcliffe said.
Fans applauded the actor for dodging the issue so well, especially after other celebrities only invited criticism with their own opinions about it.
"Daniel Radcliffe refusing to share his opinion on the Will Smith & Chris Rock incident is exactly what everyone else should be doing," one tweet with thousands of likes read on Thursday.
Zoë Kravitz was one of those celebs who found herself suddenly facing backlash for her opinion.
She recently took to Instagram to voice her take on the slap-pening, although she has modified her captions since.
"Here's a picture of my dress at the award show where we are apparently assaulting people on stage now," she wrote.
A second photo was posted of her dress that she wore to the Oscars afterparty with the caption: "And here is a picture of my dress at the party after the award show — where we are apparently screaming profanities and assaulting people on stage now" as per Buzzfeed. The caption has since been edited to remove the part about the profanities.
When someone asked "you don't support him defending his wife?" Kravitz was quick to reply with "nope."
Fans were quick to accuse her of having a double-standard as one of her friends, designer Alexander Wang, has been accused of sexual assault.
It seems like Kravitz has turned off the ability to comment on her posts.
Canadian actor Jim Carrey also came out against Smith earlier this week, only to face some sharp attacks on Twitter as a result.
Carrey called the Oscar crowd "spineless" for applauding Smith shortly after the slap, when Smith won the Oscar for Best Actor.
Carrey's critics responded by sharing a decades-old clip of him seemingly forcing a kiss on Alicia Silverstone while accepting an award.
James Corden tried to make light out of the slap with a skit he did on his talk show, The Late Late Show with James Corden.
He broke out into song, with a musical parody of We Don't Talk About Bruno from Encanto, instead singing "We Don't Talk About Jada."
The clip was not particularly well-received online.
Maybe Harry Potter has the right idea?
