*shrugs* I've not liked him since he told the "hey hey game" story on The Graham Norton Show years ago.

(I've mentioned this at least a few times on here, so if I've said it to you before, apologies for repeating myself.)

ty bc google fucking SUCKS now

...........omg? omg? jesus christ i'm done with men again

[wistfulwisp]

No problem ♡

Yup. When people went on and on about Will being so innocent, I was like, "I don't care that he slapped Chris Rock! I care that he apparently assaulted a large amount of strangers over the years."

I've tried spreading the word on here but I think it's difficult for people to believe something a random user says against a celeb they grew up loving (not to mention the very valid concern that someone could be saying shit about him because of racism)

what does he say? the video is blocked in my country

[wistfulwisp]

Graham asks him if the Hey Hey Game is still ongoing in his family.
Will says they've temporarily suspended it. Then he proceeds to describe the game.

"The hey hey game was a really strange thing. It's this bizarre, universal truth, and we've tested it on many continents. If you walk up behind a person, and you stick your finger in the..." He then gestures towards his butt. "You sort of ram your finger..."

Helen Mirren injects, "up their butt?"

"Everybody in every language in the world says, "hey! hey!"

Graham, Helen, Naomie Harris, and the audience proceed to laugh.

"I'm telling you, I'm telling you; try it, try it."

Helen then asks Will how many times he has been arrested and he responds with a large laugh.

Ugh how vile and they’re all laughing about?!

I also (vaguely) remember someone shared a video of him on some red carpet where the reporter got too close or something and I swear Will shoved & slapped him. I’d have to look for it tomorrow.

Seems like he’s problematic but it’s gone largely unnoticed.

I did not care about the slap and frankly, I thought Chris Rock deserved it, but I really soured on Will after seeing that BTS clip of Suicide Squad where he's showing fellow cast and crew members deepfake porn of Margot Robbie and Robbie is trying to laugh it off. It made me think he's extremely unprofessional and a creep.

[fromyourashes]

idgaf about the slap, never really did

but that was vile. who tf thinks stuff like that is funny??
