the question really is .... why did Will hit him, the joke in itself wasn't the reason. No celeb in the public eye has not had some form of bad taste joke directed at them. We live in the twitter age fgs
For me that makes it more serious and honestly, i don't think its about standing up for family either. He basically lets his wife do her own thing in the relationship department and i'm sure there will be a long line of disgruntled ex flings that have been less than pleasant over the years. So again, what made the oscars the event that made him tip over the edge? My take is that he is typically an angry man and he puts on a front that he is this nice guy that loves everyone and he has just been found out for who he really is
