Will accepted his first Academy Award in his acceptance speech, defending his storming onto the Oscars stage and slapping presenter Chris Rock.
He began: “Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family. In this time in my life, in this moment I am overwhelmed by what God is calling on me to do.”

He went on to say that when you love someone, you will go to great lengths for them.
