It was a weird moment altogether and as complicated humans, you have to ask if he was drinking, thinking or just a fool in love....But, at the end of the day, we can obsess over this all we want while real things are happening around the world, like the war in Ukraine and do we really need to care about this thing so much? Aren't all actors narcissists after all?
thank you for the background on his memoir - I haven't read it and had no interest even before the slap, but it is interesting to hear your review.
As for the slap - inexcusable. Full stop. Even more sickening, however, is that he received a standing ovation when he won his award just a few mere minutes later. This made everyone in that room who applauded him an accomplice to his violence. Therein is the true horror. Incredibly upsetting.
