Popular American actor and comedian, Chris Rock has come out to decline to return to stage to host the Golden Globes in 2024. Recall that Rock’s last time hosting major awards was at the 2022 Oscars, where Will Smith came on stage and slapped him across the face over a joke he made about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head.
Chris had said, “Jada, I love you, G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it!” and the reference was to the 1997 movie which featured Demi Moore with a shaved head.
Pinkett Smith, 51, has since been diagnosed with alopecia, which causes hair loss.
WOW.
