The Stunning Transformation Of Will Smith’s Oldest Son Trey

If there’s one thing people remember about the 2022 Oscars, it’s Will Smith and Chris Rock’s physical altercation. After Rock made a joke at Jada Pinkett Smith’s expense in the middle of the ceremony, Will made a beeline for the stage and slapped the standup comic. Will, who won an Academy Award that same night for his work in “King Richard,” was banned from the ceremony for ten years. Will apologized to Rock, and Rock apologized to Jada. 

Following the incident, Will’s family shared their reactions. Jaden Smith promptly took to X (formerly known as Twitter), and wrote, “And that’s how we do it.” In a 2023 interview with Hoda Kotb for “Today,” Jada recalled how surreal the moment felt. “I’m just out of it ’cause I really worried about Will,” she remembered. “It’s not him whatsoever.” And in an August 2022 interview with Billboard, Willow Smith reflected on the way fallibility and celebrity overlap. “I see my whole family as being human, and I love and accept them for all their humanness,” she said. “Because of the position that we’re in, our humanness sometimes isn’t accepted, and we’re expected to act in a way that isn’t conducive to a healthy human life and isn’t conducive to being honest.”

Trey Smith, meanwhile, hasn’t said too much about the moment. Sheree Zampino told Fox News that she and Trey had a quick chat after the Oscars where her son told her Will was doing “great” and left it at that.
