Will Smith has apologised for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, saying his behaviour was "unacceptable and inexcusable".
In a statement Smith says he was out of line and he was wrong.
It comes after the Oscars film academy condemned Smith over the incident and announced a formal review.
The star slapped Rock in the face on stage after the comic made a joke about the actor's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Rock had taken aim at Pinkett Smith's shaved head, a result of the hair-loss condition alopecia.
Moments later Smith picked up the first Oscar of his career for playing the father of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams in King Richard.
