The 94th annual Academy Awards will go down in history as one of the most controversial nights of Will Smith's storied career. Kevin Sussman was one of the celebrities to adopt a more lighthearted approach to the Oscar slap discourse.

Sussman worked with Smith on the film "Hitch," a comedy that tells the story of a professional dating expert whose worldview changes after he meets a gossip columnist. According to Sussman, he didn't experience any drama with Smith while they were working on the 2005 rom-com.

"Will Smith seemed fine when I worked with him 17 years ago on Hitch. I realize it doesn't mean much, but I honestly can't think of any other way to make it about me," Sussman tweeted on April 2, 2022. The humorous tweet was a hit among Sussman's followers, gaining thousands of retweets and likes.
