Will Smith’s On-Screen Wife Still Stands by His Oscars Slap

Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor joins Kevin Fallon on The Obsessed Podcast to talk about her new series Lucky, becoming an action star, working alongside Anya Taylor-Joy and Annette Bening, and the intense reality of filming car chases, shootouts, and stunts. The Oscar-nominated actress also opens up about her experience during the King Richard awards campaign, what it was really like to be nominated for an Academy Award, the night of the Will Smith and Chris Rock Oscars slap, her work with Ava DuVernay on Origin, Hollywood’s lack of diverse stories, and why she believes the entertainment industry needs to do more. Plus, Ellis-Taylor tells the hilarious story of how trying to channel Denzel Washington while rehearsing in the shower ended with her accidentally knocking herself out. #ad Don't miss Furious, streaming on Hulu with New Episodes Mondays #ad Go to https://zbiotics.com/OTP and use OTP at checkout for 15% off any first time orders of ZBiotics probiotics.
