My buddy worked in an area that Will Smith occasionally worked.
At every opportunity, will Smith would go out of his way to meet the people around where he was working, talk with them, get selfies, etc, when there was absolutely no need to do it. This was even later in his career when he was really well-known: he'd be walking down a hallway chatting about electrical stuff with a maintenance guy for no reason. I do believe will smith would also return a shopping cart if tested.
The thing where he assaulted someone else on live TV was either out of character, or every appearance from the years before was out of character; exclusively so.
I refuse to believe Will Smith is irredeemable yet.
He laughed at Chris Rock's joke until he saw Jada's reaction. Not in any way excusable for him to assault him, but it's easy to see what the actual reason for it was.
Being all wrapped up with another person emotionally and romantically can sometimes push us to do things otherwise out of character. I think it's pretty easy to see and understand in that particular case.
