Will Smith: Why I Slapped That Reporter

Will Smith was quick to clarify to David Letterman last night that he "didn't beat up" the Moscow journalist who tried to kiss him. But seeing as Smith was caught on video slapping the reporter, Letterman had to get the story. "He says, 'I'm your biggest fan, can I have a hug?'" Smith explained on the Late Show. "So I go to give this joker a hug, and he like, tries to lean in to like, kiss me! … It was just awkward, Dave," he concluded. "They were like, 'Oh, no, we’re sorry, you know. It’s just his shtick, you know.' And I said, 'Well, that’s why his a** got schtuck.'" Click to see the original video. (More David Letterman stories.)
