Only when hit back to his seat did he look pissed off. The wife however… she glared at Rock immediately..,
It definitely does require some careful scrutiny a few times… As I said earlier, it appeared staged it first. But Smith his face in the audience, he was clearly furious when he sat down. Or maybe his wife prompted him who knows
