Chris has yet to break his silence on the incident, though it has been reported he is not pressing charges. against the actor.

Explaining his reasoning, Jim went on: “If you want to yell from the audience and disapprove or show disapproval or say something on Twitter, you do not have the right to walk up on stage and smack somebody in the face because they said words.”

After it was suggested the situation “escalated”, Jim shared how he thinks the Men In Black star is “frustrated”.

He said: “It didn’t escalate, it came out of nowhere because Will has something going on inside him that’s frustrated.

“But that was not a good moment,” he said, adding the moment cast a shadow over the evening.

Jim went on: “It cast a pall over everybody’s shining moment last night. A lot of people worked really hard to get to that place.

“And to have their moment in the sun, to get their award for the really hard work they did, it is no mean feat to go through all the stuff you have to go through when you are nominated for an Oscar.

“It’s a gauntlet of devotion that you have to do.

“It was such a selfish moment that cast a pall over the whole thing,” he said to US show CBS This Morning.

A day after the incident, Will took to Instagram to express “regret” over his actions at the awards ceremony and also explain why the joke was “too much for [him] to bear”.

He told his 61.9 million followers he “reacted emotionally” to the joke, before adding that he “publicly apologises” to Chris, saying he was “out of line and wrong”.
