Jerry Seinfeld revealed on the “Fly on the Wall” podcast that he wanted Chris Rock to parody the Will Smith Oscars slap in 'Unfrosted.'
Jerry Seinfeld revealed during a recent interview on the “Fly on the Wall” podcast that he wanted Chris Rock to parody the infamous Oscars slap in his feature directorial debut “Unfrosted,” which recently premiered on Netflix. The issue was that Seinfeld filmed the comedy movie not long after the March 2022 Oscars, and Rock was allegedly feeling too “shook” to be able to perform in the movie.
It appears Seinfeld originally envisioned Rock for the role and wanted to work in a moment that parodied the Oscars slap. In the finished film, Cedric the Entertainer’s character does not have any altercation while hosting the awards show. Seinfeld said on the podcast that Rock “wasn’t up to perform” so soon after the 2022 Oscars, where Will Smith slapped him across the face after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith. “He was a little shook from that event,” Seinfeld said.
