Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and Hollywood actor Will Smith have been friends for a long time. Smith’s reputation took a massive hit after his fiasco at this year’s academy awards where he slapped the show’s host Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife’s receding hairline.

However, Mayweather still supported his friend by checking up on him after this incident. It has been quite a while since the slap heard around the world took place and it looks like Smith is on to new projects. The Oscar-nominated actor is now set to feature in the film ‘Emancipation’ releasing this December.

Moreover, ‘Money‘ recently shared a poster of the film featuring Smith on his Instagram page. He praised the film and Smith claimed that the whole world should see it. “This movie is truly unbelievable, @willsmith and @AntoineFuqua congrats. The whole world should make sure they see this film.” Mayweather wrote in the caption.

However, the fans seemingly have not forgotten Smith’s debacle as they were quick to remind him of this. The fans shredded the Hollywood actor, reacting to the poster of the film.

Another fan hilariously reminded everyone to make sure not to name Smith’s wife. “Just make sure to keep his wife’s name out of your mouth” he wrote.

Moreover, one fan stated that the face Smith made on the poster was the same look when Rock joked about his wife. “That’s the same face he made while slapping Chris,” he wrote.
