Actor Will Smith, who at his last awards-show appearance slapped presenter Chris Rock after a remark by Rock about Smith’s wife, spoke about identifying with slaves during an awards presentation on Wednesday.
Smith accepted a Beacon Award at the 14th annual African-American Film Critics Association Awards in Beverly Hills, California.
During the presentation, Smith spoke about the movie “Emancipation,” in which he plays a slave, according to the Washington Examiner.

“‘Emancipation’ was the individual most difficult film of my entire career,” Smith said, joking that the film was “all outdoors, that is true.”
Smith then turned serious.
