your lame self loves drama. you love tryna pin ppl to beef with eachother by asking what would you do. im not a big dude. if a mf jokes on my sick wife idc who it is im slapping them. tyson, floyd, roy. idc. if i get beat i get beat. so you dont know if will would or wouldnt do it to tyson or the rock. stop stirring up beef. lame.
You have to ask better questions Vlad. Asking MJW if hes met Chris Rock or Will Smith . Why would you ask that? The likely hood of them being at the same place at the same time with MJW is very rare. They are A LIst, Michael Jai is Z list
If he was a genius he wouldnt be using profanities when he speaks. Its not gentlemen like and it sets a bad example for people that may look up to him. Especially kids!
Being a small guy sucks. There is no amount of money, accomplishment, nothing that can fill that void. I would rather be tall and strong than small and rich. I could be as rich as i want but deep down I know this man can kick my ass
It wasn’t bad, but given the source material it could have been a lot gorier and much darker. The HBO animated series was what they should have followed.
One day, he may hit a person that looks like they can't or won't retaliate. If he's that sort, he better change his ways. There are people that look meek and have black out temper issues. That was me much of my life. I can't swear that I wouldn't knock the taste out of someone's mouth even now, if I were hit out of the blue. I'm a red head and my Dad was a Golden Gloves champion. He got tired of me not dealing with kids hitting or biting me, so he taught me what I needed to know. I've had boys, girls, women and even men start pushing or hitting me over the years. I was a nerdy straight A student and am a nurse that just wants peace. Except one girl, I've defeated everyone that screwed with me. He might've put me in the floor, but he'd have carried some serious marks after me getting up. I've never gone looking for a fight in my life and tried forever to avoid them. if someone actually manages to drag me to the ring and throws me in, they're going to regret climbing in with me. Will, and everyone that chooses victims based on appearance, need to know what can happen when they go too far with some pretty unassuming people.
Funny thing about Will Smith is, everybody knows him as the funny guy from tv. But not alot people actually know that real street guys refer to Will Smith as being a real street guy who use to beat other kids up. They said he use to be real street and from what we see on TV you would have not see that in him
I seen an interview on rappers who are not really gangsters and then they put MC Hammer and Will Smith as the real ones who were the most badass street thugs. Is crazy lol
What a grown up, measured response. He seemed like he wanted to dance around the answer but then floored me by saying the right things. Especially the part where he speaks of having that stuff sorted out BEFORE you gain everything.
I also like how Vlad wasn’t able to get Michael to say what he would’ve done or to speak about any violent response he would’ve had to the same situation. He turned the conversation into a learning experience for the viewers.
It’s like you can’t not like this man. He gives you great characters in his movies, does his own stunts, AND is a peace maker. Stays out of the way and just is humble as they get
Hes one of the best in hollywood, just isnt known very well because he isnt a sellout like most at the top. To be at the top, you most likely have to sell out and do shit that would make you respect yourself less.
maybe he is a good dude but from my experience in hollywood its not about how someone is when the camera is on them its how someone is when its not on them.
@@mr.k1611 Will lebron kobe KD or Michael Jordan ever say they’ll lose 1on1? You can be humble and competitive at the same time 🤷🏽♂️ why would he admit gettin his ass whooped? Or that’s something you’d admit?
It's the way Michael just said "stop" at 2:08. It wasn't even worth letting Vlad finish the question. Michael just looked at him, like you know what would happen.
Non blacks creating technology and advancing the global.system people still stuck in this move on track your people to meet up with innovation changes that taking place and a need to get off the ws and cr wagon time to move on to much black gangs in the ghettos to much blk young men and women to uplift
Exactly. He knows what the parasite wants, but he tries to provide enlightenment instead. That's what helps guide the younger people coming behind him. Talking about how he would did this or that to Will only serves to exacerbate the dysfunction.
I still watch his movies that he does from time to time I want him and Steven seagal to do one movie together to crush exit wounds no disrespect to x God bless his soul but it needs to happen but not well can't stand a chance maybe in a suicide squad movie part 3 yeah 😎💯😂
One thing people shouldn't forget is just how unbelievably humiliating and embarrassing that is. In front of the world, to be assaulted like that and then the aggressor is rewarded and applauded in the same evening. Just WOW
It's a cultural thing, but as a brazilian, I don't get why it's ok to humiliate someone with words but not with a slap. In Brazil people supported Will.
@@ericg4915 I'm not saying physical violence is acceptable, I'm saying verbal violence can be just as bad. Violence in Brazil is not as simple to explain and have a lot to do with organized crime. And the US is a terrible example of violence control, compared with other rich countries.
It’s called verbal abuse, son. Chris was targeting Jada once again with his silly jokes and enough was enough. I wouldve knocked his ass out to another planet 😂😂😂
"If you didn't get that shit balanced out before you got power, that's what's gonna take you down." is the wisest shit a celebrity could say about other celebrities. Or, honestly, life in general.
Parents should be their kids role model, folks act like celebrities aren't human or infallible. Their job isn't to make sure they're so perfect so Johnny in bumble fucc USA doesn't get let down.
“he only slaps people whom he can get away with it...” that’s bully behavior right there... a bully would never go after someone who’s gonna go after him back
Will wasn’t the damn bully in this situation, he was a man defending his wife from the fucking bully. Yea Will laughed at first then say that the joke make his wife feel humiliated. Yes we laugh at the joke comedians make about people without regard to how those people feel cause they are joke. Comedians are fucking bullies cause they get away with and get paid for humiliating others
The message Mike gave was on point. Get your demons/vices etc in check before you get powerful. If not, they'll go unchecked because nobody around you will want to say anything.
@@369pendulum Most people have some type of power and it typically grows throughout life. Of course there are different levels of power, but my point is everyone has some type of power period.
A very honored but underrated actor. He speaks with very good spirit. Very humbled person. I'm very proud that he did not answer the way a lot of people was hoping he would and instead answered the way he did.
@@principedeldesierto6057 🚫 But Chris Rock didn't really insult Jada. Watch that video clip, and think about Chris's joke using its proper context. It wasn't a personal attack on Jada at all. Besides, Chris didn't know about her minor health issues anyway. So it was in no way personally disrespectful towards her. Will Smith actually LAUGHED at Chris's joke! But then he looked over at Jada, and she flashed him an angry, arrogant look. So Will immediately leapt out of his seat and pretended to be angry over the joke. Here's the real reason why Will slapped Chris: He felt like he had to act like a tough guy in public, to make up for the fact that Jada had been making him look like a bitch on her recent podcasts! She publicly said that Will doesn't really turn her on anymore, so she'd been out f**king some younger rapper, which she rubbed into Will's face! That's some messed up sh*t! 50 Cent even called out Will, and said that he would never tolerate the sort of public disrespect that Jada put had Will through. That was only a few weeks before Will slapped Chris Rock, and I'm certain he was doing it because he was trying to compensate for his wife making him look like less of a man.... The proper thing for Will to have done, was to break up with Jada IMMEDIATELY after she publicly disrespected him, then he could've gone to the Oscars and laughed his ass off at Chris's joke! 😉👍
Depends. If you look at the body movement, eyes, whole shift in the body of Michael... Pure pro. But it is also obvious, that sometimes the other guy doesn't let him talk, finish the sentence, whoever is doing this interview, and break some of his responses. Pretty obvious if you are good at this. Whoever it is, wouldn't pass any modern corpo interview (top level here, talking about top level engineers and pros - where you would have to know if they break under a certain conditions), and apptitude tests at modern corporations. Definitely somebody witthout any modersn psychology degree and training. It is just Michael is a pro, you can see that he is actually seeing it at some points, but is stil being a pro (maybe due to his martial art training, beining involved in the movie business and dealing with various agents, and so on) - and that part I understand. Pure pro. Yeah... I guess I agree with you too, but it is "sad" to see the other guy talking. Completely different level. Good interview, but it could have been better.
Michael is great. He's against bullying. His attitude and demeanor is so Awesome. That's a true Warrior. Think before you act. That's a true martial artist. Love you Michael, keep being Awesome. Peace and Love to you and your family. 💪❤
To feel hurt for Chris Rock's humiliation speaks to this man's character. His observation on fixing things in your life before becoming powerful is a great insight.
I don't care who he is, if someone insults my wife in front of me i swear one of us will die but in the case of will smith I really don't see that his wife deserves it because she insulted him and admitted that she is cheating on him in his face and a woman like this that does not respect you does not deserve anything good for her at all
Lmaoooo this world is such bs. A guy gets SLAPPED for making jokes about someone’s wife who has a condition and you idiots start making a hero out of someone who commented on something that he admitted he didn’t watch. The entire world is upside down
@@thedarkking32 thanks man. Idk these men these days have become cowards. Calling chris…. The little guy? Come on. You don’t talk about someone’s wife having a medical condition idgaf if its a joke or not. Its SO funny to me how most of these idiots can road rage, listen to angry music, and love watching violent movies….. but a man….. slapping another man…. Offends them. It’s disgusting to me how pretentious and fos ppl can be. They do this crap to deflect from their own bullcrap cuz it’s easier to collectively clown celebrities
He has so much patience. So much presence. So much composure. He said he wasn’t interested in talking about what happened and sits there quietly while this man keeps talking on. Oh to have a man like this.
Exactly! That's why I don't like when they ask what if a bigger guy was in his stead, it's not about how strong or big you are physically, it's about being the better man, Rock kept it together, so he was the "man", it's easy to rage and hit people, but to keep it together is not something anyone can do.
Michael is a genuine class act. There's also the aspect that those of us that deal with real conflict aren't nearly as fascinated by it as those that don't. When your reality is peace, chaos can seem interesting even desirable. When your reality is conflict and chaos peace becomes a desirable state worth actively pursuing.
Michael actually made a very good point towards the end talking about people who reach a certain level of power or respect and there are no people/mechanisms left in place that occasionally put you in check, and so you end up feeling like you can just play out any sort of emotions you want etc. Like how he said his friends will agree with anything he says even if its something they probably shouldnt be agreeing with and thats because of the power hes projecting, that kind of power can be incredibly difficult to tame or control.
that's why you need to check yourself. I am sure that e.g. people like stalin had others who could've checked them and still do so, but stalin grew his power to a point where it was too risky to do so, not because they drank his kool-aid. it's good to have people to check you but it's far better to be stoic and check/hold yourself accountable.
You know at the ststt of this video, I thought the whole thing was gonna be something like 'he wouldn't be dumb enough to slap me, I'd have knocked him down in two seconds ect ect ect." The deep, thorough, thoughtful answer he provided is something that wouldn't have even crossed my mind from thst question. It is actually them perfect explanation in my opinion of what happened. Will literally thought he can go up there, slap the shit out of Chris Rock, and then get a round of applause because he was "standing up for his wife". Gtfo of here. Unchecked massive power combined with the added benefit of being a minority (and yes thst absolutely factors in).
Actually it's good to have both. Finding the right people to have around you is vital. You can't always check yourself because your scope is very limited. Also if you leave it up to yourself you can justify your own actions. You can't hold yourself accountable for something you don't think is wrong.
Not discussing anything “negative” leads societies down dark paths where problems mount up because ignorant, delusional people want to ignore them. It’s not smart, it’s selfish.
@@imbaroud5273 First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out- Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me. - martin niemoller other peoples problems are still your problem.
Mad Respect for a person that avoids things that upset him. God bless you Michael!! Chris Rock may be one that can throw down, but maintaining composure was more masculine than acting like a bully. It did not make Chris less of a man, but more of a man.
@@DrShrimpPuertoRico99 So? Is Will more of a man for slapping someone weaker than him? Let alone let that b itch of a wife he has cuck him left and right?
I love Michael Jai White. One of nicest men on earth and at the same time, one of the most dangerous men on earth. It's all about balance and inner control.
When you can handle yourself, some insecurity is lost. A fighter also knows humility, as they've been humbled many times learning to get good. I'm probably telling the priest where the font is, but that's my 5c to your comment.
“To be peaceful you need to be dangerous”. Jordan Peterson said it and it’s the biggest truth. I found out with years of training martial arts that peace of mind and control comes from not only the discipline and respect to other people that you learn from it, but when you know for sure that you can break somebody’s jaw and you start feeling in your heart that this is the last resource.
I like how Vlad laughed and laughed and barely a smirk came out of Micheal, even when Vlad kept laughing nervously hoping to get a more positive reaction from him 🤣
So refreshing to hear a person who knows being against violence means not watching it. Wise words, too, about getting power before you have matured, and having yes men tell you wrong things are right.
I met Michael, when he came to Stafford, Virginia years ago. He was located at the Marina area in Stafford and I met him and he's the nicest guy that you could ever meet. You can tell that he knew he was powerful, but he kept himself in check. I love the fact that he doesn't watch negative things that could seep into his mind and cause a reaction that would have never been caused had he simply avoided the negative things. He knows what brings peace to his mind and he knows that watching negative things or reading negative things isn't the road he wants to travel on. He reminds me of myself 🤔
Yes, I totally agree, mister White is one of the nicest celebrities out here. I met him, his beautiful wife, and Gary Owen in 2020 when they came to our store in Winnipeg, Canada. Such cool people!!!
@@MillionDollarDream I'm originally from Hawaii; from the island of Oahu. Virginia is an excellent place to live. People, here in Virginia, have NO idea how good of a place Virginia is. Just to know a few things that make it special is that : #1 it's way cheaper than hawaii with more entertainment and more places to go and more things to do. #2: It is the second most 'asked' placed to be stationed at, militarily, after Hawaii(I'm not in the military). #3 It has more military bases than any other state except California which says alot being that Virginia is 7 times smaller than California. #4: It is THE most protected state in the union, combined with Washington D.C having their own military unit to protect the White House. And, lastly, no need to travel to any other part of the united states to get what you want; because the East Coast is the wealthiest(being that Maryland, D.C & Virginia are in the top 5 wealthiest states in the nation), because everything you can dream of having is all on the East Coast ! That's why I love Virginia and have decided to make Virginia(while NOT making some state like Nebraska) my home root to settle down in :)

Not only is this guy a TRUE tough guy, he is legitimately intelligent and someone you can hold a conversation with for a long time. VERY VERY rare when it comes to actors and actresses.
Micheal was a renowned martial artist before becoming an actor and they do focus on a lot of characters and principles. I don’t doubt Michael followed what he was taught in those martial art schools to be a great man first and tough guy after
I’ve really enjoyed these interviews with Michael Jai White. There are the inevitable slight differences of opinion that any two people will have, but I have been so impressed with what a decent human being he is. You can see it in his eyes even before he gives his answers to the questions. I was a fan of his acting, but now I am an even bigger fan of the man.
@@Darkness-ie2yl yeah black guy who never been to the shaolin temple knows more than ranton who trained and studied there for years and actually knows it’s history I like mike but that was cringe as hell 😂
I love how he pointed out his past of negative actions/opinions towards women, owns it, and mentions how it's the only way he's able to have a meaningful, true relationship with his wife. He recognized his baggage, has done his best to put it down, and looks so comfortable with himself you can tell that his quality of life is all the better for it. What a gem.
@@charliecheetah4654 Bro stop it made me one joke Mike Tyson has told name me one joke MJW has said on award shows. Oh yeah that's right. He doesn't do award shows even though I've seen him on multiple other award shows presenting awards And I didn't say non- comedians didn't. What I said was is that he's not a comedian.
The more footage of Michael Jai White I see behind the scenes (eg: interviews like this one, teaching and showing professional fighters the psychology behind fighting your opponent or new skills, etc)…the more respect I have for this man. He seems to give very down-to-earth, honest answers and doesn’t seem to concern himself with fake/negative stuff. He would be an interesting man to meet and have a conversation with about particular subjects, that is for sure !
I thought the technique in the Kimbo video don't work, but it does, I used it on a couple of sparring sessions and every single one of them found their mark, does not have power though, but I'm progressing. Dude is legit.
I met him before. At first he looks scary with his massive fit body and his deep voice. But all in all. He is a chill peaceful man. And a great person to talk to.
I don't think I had ever heard an interview with him before, but I loved his work in Spawn, and I couldn't agree more with you...such a likable down to earth guy and I like the way he looks at things...kids, when you get some years behind you, your paradigm shifts and you start seeing things in a different way...it's not something you can really teach someone because the young man/woman already knows everything and besides, this is primarily due to life experience...which this guy just has. EXCELLENT stuff...
Lmao everyone says what they would do if they were slapped by Will, but being slapped live in front of millions during one of the biggest award shows in the world. You wouldn't want to be dumb, and lose like Will did. Chris did the best thing he could've done.
Exactly. Chris is a professional entertainer hosting a major ceremony on live tv. He would have undermined his reputation and career acting out at Will. He handled it the best way possible given the circumstances.
Funny how the music, tv and movie people always need so many award on top of them fat paychecks. Pride is a terrible sin especially when it comes at other peoples expense.
He went super deep on his life and the things he says is so true. Dont let power go to your head and stay humble. Keanu Reeves is a prime example of how to be a celebrity yet human.
Michael Jai White is the scariest, nicest, wise and most pure dude. His voice is deep, soothing and soft. But knowing that dude could absolutely rip your head off? It's like sitting in a box with a polite tiger. Lol Love this dude. I hope you do another Spawn movie, honestly.
MJW is one of only a few men in the world who I tell my son to emulate. Just a down to earth and respectful human being who never starts the fight but will certainly finish it then take you to the hospital after.
My guess is that with his reflexes and martial arts experience, he would have read the situation the minute Will walked on stage so he would have been mentally prepared already. The question I have is whether he would evade the slap or take it and retaliate in self defense? At this point the biggest problem he would have is deciding which move/combo to use in order to deal the worst damage to Will without facing legal repercussions.
Will has had over thirty years when he could do no wrong. On the biggest night of his career, likely celebrating before arriving at the awards ceremony, his inhibitions are down, emotions are high and he makes a dramatically unfortunate choice. His acceptance of his award was a messy emotional display where he failed to apologize to Chris. Had he done so, this ugly moment probably would not still be a hot topic. Instead, he waited months to apologize to the man he assaulted and humiliated in front of a global audience. This is what happens when you are too rich and famous for anyone around you to give honest advice.
HE MADE A MISTAKE !!! He’s been Hollywood’s nice guy for damn near 40 years ! He makes a MISTAKE & now he’s the worst person ever.. because none of us makes any MISTAKES.. EVER Riiight???!!! GTFOH !!!
@@FakeBot4Dot1 I acknowledged the mistake when stating that he made an unfortunate choice. The mistake was made worse when there was no one to make him apologize to Chris immediately. Everyone has missteps, most of us have someone around to correct us. When you are too rich and powerful no one has the courage to speak up, or you are no longer able to accept correction.
My issue about the whole thing was when he tried to justify what be did during his acceptance speech with the whole King Richard analogy, claiming to be protecting his family. I'm like wtf is this guy talking about?!
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed at the same exact time as Vlad 😭 when Michael said “c’mon stop it, STOP IT” 😂🤦🏿♂️ I lost it lmaooo. Because we all know Will Smith isn’t gonna step to Mike Tyson or Michael Jai White 💀💀💀
To me that slap was a slap in the face of every decent Black person in this country. How Will Smith dealt with a perceived insult towards his wife is a lesson in utter and total ignorance and disrespect! Where was the cuth? Where was the professionalism on his part? A billion people sat aghast and in shock at that scene flashed around the world from a supposedly cultured educated and successful entertainer. I don't have any respect for Will Smith nor acting skills anymore! He attempted to degrade a fellow entertainer and from what I understand a pretty nice dude in Chris Rock. This will haunt his career from now on. Mr. White is an intelligent and very aware man. We need more like him front and center.
@DennisJones-hx8rf Having just got out of a relationship with a narcissists, both Will and Chris suffered that day. Will had an emotional breakdown after realizing her ego was cut and what it would mean for him if he either did nothing, or tried to get her to see that it wasn't that serious at the end of the day. A relationship with someone like that will have you acting all kinds of ways out of your normal character if you have a more dependent personality (born from his trauma around his own mother and father). This isn't saying that Chris deserved it, but both of these men lost that night while Jada just sat back and talked about "healing."
@@DennisJones-hx8rf what does what one black man's actions have to do with "every decent black person in this country" you evil white devils stay generalizing black people get a fucking life
"You'd better get yourself in-check BEFORE you rise to power" is probably one of the most underrated advices ever, cause whatever you don't fix while small, for sure you can't fix when big!
Mr White shares something profound - "You better work it out before you get powerful. Otherwise nobody will pull you back." I like Micheal Jai White - he is a balanced human being.
Michael Jai White is a man of character and respect. Love that fact that it bothered him to the core. The bullying aspect of it. Shows he has empathy and compassion.
MJW is such a genuine guy. He just wants to live peacefully, do what he enjoys for his profession, and just keeps things 100% real. He's the kind of guy that you want as a best friend even if he wasn't a famous actor or celebrity.
More like Will Smith would have been folded by Dwayne Johnson. Fighter or not, D.J. has over 100 pounds of muscle over Will....you don't overcome that.
Those last couple minutes were everything. He basically explained why a lot of these celebs (but not exclusive to celebs) get caught up in sexual assault cases or domestic violences cases or other messed up situations. They never checked themselves and then they became powerful and thought they were untouchable and no one checked their actions prior to this new power.
Will to my Knowledge did everything right besides his long ending feud with Mrs. Janet Hubert. I don't agree with violence but everyone is acting like Will hasn't been quiet and ignoring all of the disrespect towards him and his family for decades and when he finally couldn't take it anymore everyone is treating him like he is the worse kind of human being. Chris knew what he was doing yet again. If someone tells you stop why is it okay to continue and than be shocked when the reaction finally happens.
@@anthonyhand8368 Well I disagree. Listening Michael Jai White's interview puts a different spin on things. Not to mention, my opinion is mine and yours is yours. It doesn't give you any right to say I'm wrong. It's my opinion. I'm not trying to state any facts. So gtfoh.
Besides all the tough talk about Michael beating will up(which would have happened) can we appreciate how much of gift Michael Jai White is? The wisdom this man produces is astounding

One day, he may hit a person that looks like they can't or won't retaliate. If he's that sort, he better change his ways. There are people that look meek and have black out temper issues. That was me much of my life. I can't swear that I wouldn't knock the taste out of someone's mouth even now, if I were hit out of the blue. I'm a red head and my Dad was a Golden Gloves champion. He got tired of me not dealing with kids hitting or biting me, so he taught me what I needed to know. I've had boys, girls, women and even men start pushing or hitting me over the years. I was a nerdy straight A student and am a nurse that just wants peace. Except one girl, I've defeated everyone that screwed with me. He might've put me in the floor, but he'd have carried some serious marks after me getting up. I've never gone looking for a fight in my life and tried forever to avoid them. if someone actually manages to drag me to the ring and throws me in, they're going to regret climbing in with me. Will, and everyone that chooses victims based on appearance, need to know what can happen when they go too far with some pretty unassuming people.

@@principedeldesierto6057
🚫 But Chris Rock didn't really insult Jada. Watch that video clip, and think about Chris's joke using its proper context. It wasn't a personal attack on Jada at all. Besides, Chris didn't know about her minor health issues anyway. So it was in no way personally disrespectful towards her. Will Smith actually LAUGHED at Chris's joke! But then he looked over at Jada, and she flashed him an angry, arrogant look. So Will immediately leapt out of his seat and pretended to be angry over the joke.
Here's the real reason why Will slapped Chris: He felt like he had to act like a tough guy in public, to make up for the fact that Jada had been making him look like a bitch on her recent podcasts! She publicly said that Will doesn't really turn her on anymore, so she'd been out f**king some younger rapper, which she rubbed into Will's face! That's some messed up sh*t!
50 Cent even called out Will, and said that he would never tolerate the sort of public disrespect that Jada put had Will through. That was only a few weeks before Will slapped Chris Rock, and I'm certain he was doing it because he was trying to compensate for his wife making him look like less of a man.... The proper thing for Will to have done, was to break up with Jada IMMEDIATELY after she publicly disrespected him, then he could've gone to the Oscars and laughed his ass off at Chris's joke! 😉👍

You can see he doesn’t wanna talk about this, and frustrated Vlad ran with the “bully” part
He is who he is and doesn’t waste time explaining to anyone. Love that.
How much do you love him?
Depends. If you look at the body movement, eyes, whole shift in the body of Michael... Pure pro.
But it is also obvious, that sometimes the other guy doesn't let him talk, finish the sentence, whoever is doing this interview, and break some of his responses. Pretty obvious if you are good at this. Whoever it is, wouldn't pass any modern corpo interview (top level here, talking about top level engineers and pros - where you would have to know if they break under a certain conditions), and apptitude tests at modern corporations. Definitely somebody witthout any modersn psychology degree and training.
It is just Michael is a pro, you can see that he is actually seeing it at some points, but is stil being a pro (maybe due to his martial art training, beining involved in the movie business and dealing with various agents, and so on) - and that part I understand. Pure pro. Yeah... I guess I agree with you too, but it is "sad" to see the other guy talking. Completely different level. Good interview, but it could have been better.

To be fair, if he didn't want to be asked questions, he shouldn't have volunteered.
Chris Rock took that slap like a champ. He did not cry, he did not get angry, he behaved like a man. Unlike Will Smith.
Exactly! That's why I don't like when they ask what if a bigger guy was in his stead, it's not about how strong or big you are physically, it's about being the better man, Rock kept it together, so he was the "man", it's easy to rage and hit people, but to keep it together is not something anyone can do.

A deeply insightful analysis. And an answer that was objective.
Michael is a genuine class act. There's also the aspect that those of us that deal with real conflict aren't nearly as fascinated by it as those that don't. When your reality is peace, chaos can seem interesting even desirable. When your reality is conflict and chaos peace becomes a desirable state worth actively pursuing.
People always seem to desire what they don't have
Awesome sauce
Damn, well put!
Well said machinech
I love the way that he does not allow himself to be pulled into the drama. He is a class act. ❤️
Michael actually made a very good point towards the end talking about people who reach a certain level of power or respect and there are no people/mechanisms left in place that occasionally put you in check, and so you end up feeling like you can just play out any sort of emotions you want etc. Like how he said his friends will agree with anything he says even if its something they probably shouldnt be agreeing with and thats because of the power hes projecting, that kind of power can be incredibly difficult to tame or control.
that's why you need to check yourself. I am sure that e.g. people like stalin had others who could've checked them and still do so, but stalin grew his power to a point where it was too risky to do so, not because they drank his kool-aid. it's good to have people to check you but it's far better to be stoic and check/hold yourself accountable.
Like prince, michael jackson, etc.
Tyson comes to mind
You know at the ststt of this video, I thought the whole thing was gonna be something like 'he wouldn't be dumb enough to slap me, I'd have knocked him down in two seconds ect ect ect." The deep, thorough, thoughtful answer he provided is something that wouldn't have even crossed my mind from thst question. It is actually them perfect explanation in my opinion of what happened. Will literally thought he can go up there, slap the shit out of Chris Rock, and then get a round of applause because he was "standing up for his wife". Gtfo of here. Unchecked massive power combined with the added benefit of being a minority (and yes thst absolutely factors in).
Actually it's good to have both. Finding the right people to have around you is vital. You can't always check yourself because your scope is very limited. Also if you leave it up to yourself you can justify your own actions. You can't hold yourself accountable for something you don't think is wrong.
Michael is too smart to answer a question that is negative. Mad respect for Michael.
Not discussing anything “negative” leads societies down dark paths where problems mount up because ignorant, delusional people want to ignore them. It’s not smart, it’s selfish.

“To be peaceful you need to be dangerous”. Jordan Peterson said it and it’s the biggest truth.

@@Darkness-ie2yl yeah black guy who never been to the shaolin temple knows more than ranton who trained and studied there for years and actually knows it’s history
I like mike but that was cringe as hell 😂
I love how he pointed out his past of negative actions/opinions towards women, owns it, and mentions how it's the only way he's able to have a meaningful, true relationship with his wife. He recognized his baggage, has done his best to put it down, and looks so comfortable with himself you can tell that his quality of life is all the better for it. What a gem.
Will wouldn’t have even attempted to slap Michael
💯💯💯
Can we stop with this? B******* He's not a comedian!! So why in the hell would he say anything about his wife to begin with?
@@flyguy7825 non comedians tell jokes at awards shows all the time. They present awards and tell a joke or two
Exactly. Michael Jai would have snapped his ass in half. Will was on some sucka shit.
@@charliecheetah4654 Bro stop it made me one joke Mike Tyson has told name me one joke MJW has said on award shows. Oh yeah that's right. He doesn't do award shows even though I've seen him on multiple other award shows presenting awards And I didn't say non- comedians didn't. What I said was is that he's not a comedian.
He seems like such a genuine guy. A class act.
The more footage of Michael Jai White I see behind the scenes (eg: interviews like this one, teaching and showing professional fighters the psychology behind fighting your opponent or new skills, etc)…the more respect I have for this man. He seems to give very down-to-earth, honest answers and doesn’t seem to concern himself with fake/negative stuff. He would be an interesting man to meet and have a conversation with about particular subjects, that is for sure !
I thought the technique in the Kimbo video don't work, but it does, I used it on a couple of sparring sessions and every single one of them found their mark, does not have power though, but I'm progressing. Dude is legit.
jai is cool
I met him before. At first he looks scary with his massive fit body and his deep voice. But all in all. He is a chill peaceful man. And a great person to talk to.
I don't think I had ever heard an interview with him before, but I loved his work in Spawn, and I couldn't agree more with you...such a likable down to earth guy and I like the way he looks at things...kids, when you get some years behind you, your paradigm shifts and you start seeing things in a different way...it's not something you can really teach someone because the young man/woman already knows everything and besides, this is primarily due to life experience...which this guy just has. EXCELLENT stuff...
Great point about getting sorted before power.
I like the way Michael doesn’t claim he knows everybody just because he met’em once or twice
Word!!!!!
I like that too
Amen cuz lol 😂 people will I know them all day long . Lol .
Yep, that's honesty and humility on display
@@yeaaa8660 Ya know dat!
Lmao everyone says what they would do if they were slapped by Will, but being slapped live in front of millions during one of the biggest award shows in the world. You wouldn't want to be dumb, and lose like Will did. Chris did the best thing he could've done.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Exactly. Chris is a professional entertainer hosting a major ceremony on live tv. He would have undermined his reputation and career acting out at Will. He handled it the best way possible given the circumstances.
@@Chessbox09 he’s gotten more money for being a stand up dude
Word. Let me get a autograph.
Let himself get bitched slapped like a coward yeah totally yay humiliation that's perfectly fine
Micheal saying i dont go to awards shows ,shows me hes not on that hollywood life ,hes just being him ,respect
Funny how the music, tv and movie people always need so many award on top of them fat paychecks. Pride is a terrible sin especially when it comes at other peoples expense.
yeeeeah. it's true
He is not a good enough actor to be invited to any awards show 🤣🤣
@@rickthesharkster 😂😂
Meaning how didn’t sell his soul
He went super deep on his life and the things he says is so true. Dont let power go to your head and stay humble. Keanu Reeves is a prime example of how to be a celebrity yet human.
You know he's in a good spot in life when he's avoiding anything and everyone that's negative energy
Michael Jai White is the scariest, nicest, wise and most pure dude. His voice is deep, soothing and soft. But knowing that dude could absolutely rip your head off? It's like sitting in a box with a polite tiger. Lol
Love this dude. I hope you do another Spawn movie, honestly.
I wish he was Blade (with a good script of course)
Yes I agree, he's quiet but could be dangerous 😂😂😂
Word.
This gentleman is 100% correct about this situation. He nailed it on the head! A byproduct of power.
MJW is one of only a few men in the world who I tell my son to emulate. Just a down to earth and respectful human being who never starts the fight but will certainly finish it then take you to the hospital after.
My guess is that with his reflexes and martial arts experience, he would have read the situation the minute Will walked on stage so he would have been mentally prepared already. The question I have is whether he would evade the slap or take it and retaliate in self defense? At this point the biggest problem he would have is deciding which move/combo to use in order to deal the worst damage to Will without facing legal repercussions.
First of all Will would have never even tried to slap MJW, no way even if he had talked shit about his wife 🤣 .
@@maitreyoda7404 They made that clear in the interview, I was only guessing what might have been the outcome
@@KibatheMalinois from his reaction in this clip I am fully confident that he would have whooped will s ass right infront of his wife lol
Beautiful response
MJW could have easily caught Will Smith’s hand in the air, place him in a joint lock, and toss him to the ground in one smooth motion!
Will has had over thirty years when he could do no wrong. On the biggest night of his career, likely celebrating before arriving at the awards ceremony, his inhibitions are down, emotions are high and he makes a dramatically unfortunate choice. His acceptance of his award was a messy emotional display where he failed to apologize to Chris. Had he done so, this ugly moment probably would not still be a hot topic. Instead, he waited months to apologize to the man he assaulted and humiliated in front of a global audience. This is what happens when you are too rich and famous for anyone around you to give honest advice.
Why Is A Man Defending His Wife An Unfortunate Choice ?!
B/c Jada Is Black LOL
HE MADE A MISTAKE !!! He’s been Hollywood’s nice guy for damn near 40 years ! He makes a MISTAKE & now he’s the worst person ever.. because none of us makes any MISTAKES.. EVER Riiight???!!! GTFOH !!!
@@FakeBot4Dot1 I acknowledged the mistake when stating that he made an unfortunate choice. The mistake was made worse when there was no one to make him apologize to Chris immediately. Everyone has missteps, most of us have someone around to correct us. When you are too rich and powerful no one has the courage to speak up, or you are no longer able to accept correction.
My issue about the whole thing was when he tried to justify what be did during his acceptance speech with the whole King Richard analogy, claiming to be protecting his family. I'm like wtf is this guy talking about?!
@@FakeBot4Dot1 he never made a mistake until now. 40 years of flawless actions, he's the liberty bell now. We want to talk about the crack.
So much respect for this man. Wise beyond his years.
You know he over 50? Wise beyond his years is a phrase I would imagine is for young people.
😂
@@xtacos4dinnerx673 Michael Jai White got that elder monk wisdom tho
Michael would have broke Will's jaw like lightning hitting the earth! 😂
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed at the same exact time as Vlad 😭 when Michael said “c’mon stop it, STOP IT” 😂🤦🏿♂️ I lost it lmaooo. Because we all know Will Smith isn’t gonna step to Mike Tyson or Michael Jai White 💀💀💀
To me that slap was a slap in the face of every decent Black person in this country. How Will Smith dealt with a perceived insult towards his wife is a lesson in utter and total ignorance and disrespect! Where was the cuth? Where was the professionalism on his part? A billion people sat aghast and in shock at that scene flashed around the world from a supposedly cultured educated and successful entertainer. I don't have any respect for Will Smith nor acting skills anymore! He attempted to degrade a fellow entertainer and from what I understand a pretty nice dude in Chris Rock. This will haunt his career from now on. Mr. White is an intelligent and very aware man. We need more like him front and center.
@DennisJones-hx8rf Having just got out of a relationship with a narcissists, both Will and Chris suffered that day. Will had an emotional breakdown after realizing her ego was cut and what it would mean for him if he either did nothing, or tried to get her to see that it wasn't that serious at the end of the day. A relationship with someone like that will have you acting all kinds of ways out of your normal character if you have a more dependent personality (born from his trauma around his own mother and father).
This isn't saying that Chris deserved it, but both of these men lost that night while Jada just sat back and talked about "healing."
@@DennisJones-hx8rf what does what one black man's actions have to do with "every decent black person in this country" you evil white devils stay generalizing black people get a fucking life

"You'd better get yourself in-check BEFORE you rise to power" is probably one of the most underrated advices ever, cause whatever you don't fix while small, for sure you can't fix when big!
“Just stop it, stop it” had me rolling 😂
It was funny thinking about Will Smith slapping Mike Tyson. I could see him running back off that stage asap too. Lol.
Mr White shares something profound - "You better work it out before you get powerful. Otherwise nobody will pull you back."
I like Micheal Jai White - he is a balanced human being.
Michael Jai White is a man of character and respect. Love that fact that it bothered him to the core. The bullying aspect of it. Shows he has empathy and compassion.
MJW is such a genuine guy. He just wants to live peacefully, do what he enjoys for his profession, and just keeps things 100% real. He's the kind of guy that you want as a best friend even if he wasn't a famous actor or celebrity.
THE ROCK IS A BODYBUILDER NOT A FIGHTER.....WILL SMITH WOULD'VE FOLDED DWAYNE JOHNSON
More like Will Smith would have been folded by Dwayne Johnson. Fighter or not, D.J. has over 100 pounds of muscle over Will....you don't overcome that.
@@cutiepie6796 he still is a wrestler
@@gregoryjacobs4114NO HE'S NOT
@@gregoryjacobs4114AND WILL SMITH WILL STILL DOG HIM
Those last couple minutes were everything. He basically explained why a lot of these celebs (but not exclusive to celebs) get caught up in sexual assault cases or domestic violences cases or other messed up situations. They never checked themselves and then they became powerful and thought they were untouchable and no one checked their actions prior to this new power.
Will to my Knowledge did everything right besides his long ending feud with Mrs. Janet Hubert. I don't agree with violence but everyone is acting like Will hasn't been quiet and ignoring all of the disrespect towards him and his family for decades and when he finally couldn't take it anymore everyone is treating him like he is the worse kind of human being. Chris knew what he was doing yet again. If someone tells you stop why is it okay to continue and than be shocked when the reaction finally happens.

Besides all the tough talk about Michael beating will up(which would have happened) can we appreciate how much of gift Michael Jai White is? The wisdom this man produces is astounding
