The Hollywood star, who later in the night won an Academy award, was forced to apologise for his actions.

And he revealed, while going through a dark period following the incident, it was boxing legend Mayweather who tried to comfort him.

Smith said in a video obtained by TMZ Sports: “I want to say something also about Floyd.

“So, we’ve met each other, we’ve seen each other around, but we weren’t like, friends.

“And, the day after the Oscars, for ten days he called me every day.

“And, he was like, ‘Ay, you know you the champ, right? You good? You know you the champ, right? I want you to hear my voice say it.’

“That was every day he called me ... and it’s like, that’s my dude forever right there.”;

Smith, who in 2001 played the iconic Muhammad Ali, later made a public apology to Rock.

He said: “I am human and I made a mistake and I’m trying not to think of myself as a piece of s**”;.”;

Smith, who picked up an Oscar for his role in King Richard, said he reached out to Rock, but never heard back from him.

As revealed by The Sun, the Fresh Prince icon is in talks with Netflix over a tell-all biopic about his life after slapping Rock.
