Jerry Seinfeld's Attempt to Have Chris Rock Parody Will Smith Oscars Slap in 'Unfrosted'

Jerry Seinfeld wanted Chris Rock to parody the Oscars slap in his movie "Unfrosted." However, Rock felt too shaken to perform in the film. Seinfeld originally planned for Rock to play a role at an awards show in the movie, but Cedric the Entertainer ended up taking the part. This change happened because Rock was not ready to perform after the Oscars incident where Will Smith slapped him. In the end, Cedric the Entertainer played the role of an awards host in the movie, and there was no altercation scene as originally envisioned by Seinfeld. Rock later recovered from the incident and even made jokes about it in his stand-up special. Smith, who slapped Rock, faced consequences and was banned from the Oscars for 10 years. Seinfeld's movie "Unfrosted" is now available on Netflix and features a star-studded cast including Melissa McCarthy, Max Greenfield, Hugh Grant, Amy Schumer, and Jack McBrayer. The film includes a scene that was initially meant for Rock but was later changed due to the aftermath of the Oscars slap incident.
