Hollywood actor, Will Smith, was slammed by multiple celebrities for his infamous Oscar slapping incident. And former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson also had a few choice words to say about the Oscar controversy. However, Smith once expressed his admiration for the champ prior to the incident.

Smith had always been a fan of Tyson. Their camaraderie extended beyond the sport of boxing as well. Moreover, he reposted a video of Tyson’s sparring session.

Meanwhile, he was also seen exerting sheer raw power behind each punch. Smith even wrote in the captions that Tyson was his hero. And, he was also surprised that Tyson was 53 years old at that time.

It should also be noted that this video resurfaced at a time when fans have been concerned about Tyson’s health.

Tyson was seen using a cane while limping and struggling to walk. And he was also seen using a wheelchair to get about. It was reported that he had a sciatica flare-up.

Notably, sciatica is a condition that involved throbbing pain through the sciatic nerve near the lower back, hips, and legs.

Mike Tyson advises Will Smith on the Oscar incident

The 94th Academy awards that took place on March 27, 2022, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, was marred by controversy. In fact, the infamous slap incident even overshadowed the first Oscar win of Will Smith’s career.

Meanwhile, ‘The Baddest Man on The Planet’ had an interesting take on the incident.

Tyson was with Ric Flair ahead of his ‘Hotboxin with Mike Tyson’ podcast. Talking about the incident, Flair mentioned that he felt that it was staged. He said, “I can speak for myself, and I’m pretty sure I’m speaking for Mike: If I didn’t like a remark, for any reason whatsoever, that somebody said about my wife, I would be punching them, not slapping them.”

‘Iron’ Mike also chimed in by mentioning that it will be a lot more than one punch. Moreover, he added, “I think Will needs to eat some of these Mike Bites and just chill out.”

Notably, Mike Bites is Tyson’s brand of cannabis-based gummies shaped like Evander Holyfield’s ears.

Keira Knightley Ponders a Swashbuckling Comeback in the Next Pirates of the Caribbean Installment

In a recent interview with Collider,Knightley was asked about the possibility of reprising her role as Elizabeth Swann in the upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean” films. She responded by saying that she has not yet been approached about the project, but would definitely consider it if the opportunity arises.

“I don’t know if it’s happening,” Knightley said. “I haven’t heard anything about it. But, you know, I would always be open to the idea of revisiting Elizabeth Swann. It was a huge part of my life and career, and I’m very fond of the character.”

Knightley first appeared as Elizabeth Swann in the original “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” in 2003. She continued to play the character in the following two sequels, “Dead Man’s Chest” and “At World’s End,” before sitting out the fourth installment, “On Stranger Tides.”

While Knightley’s character was not present in “On Stranger Tides,” the film still managed to gross over $1 billion worldwide. The most recent entry in the franchise, “Dead Men Tell No Tales,” was released in 2017 and also went on to earn over $794 million globally.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, which has seen its fair share of ups and downs in recent years. Johnny Depp, who played the lead role of Captain Jack Sparrow, was dropped from the series following allegations of domestic abuse. The studio has since announced that it is planning to reboot the franchise with a new cast and crew.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the future of the franchise, Knightley’s potential return to the series would undoubtedly be a welcome sight for fans. Her portrayal of Elizabeth Swann was a key factor in the success of the early “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, and her absence from the later entries was felt by many.

Knightley has remained busy in the years since her last “Pirates” film, taking on a variety of roles in both independent and big-budget productions. She has been nominated for two Academy Awards for her performances in “Pride & Prejudice” and “The Imitation Game,” and has also appeared in films such as “Atonement,” “Anna Karenina,” and “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.”

Whether or not Knightley ultimately returns to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, her fans can look forward to seeing her in a variety of upcoming projects. She is set to star in the upcoming biographical drama “Silent Night,” as well as the action thriller “The Essex Serpent
