Comedian Chris Rock stated that former President Donald Trump was correct about one specific issue: the news is fake. Rock, who previously predicted Trump's 2016 victory, clarified that he is not a supporter of the former president.
"I’m not a fan," Rock told Variety in a recent interview. "But it’s weird when somebody gets one thing right, and the one thing almost clears them of all their other sins. The news is fake. He got that right."
Rock did not offer further details on this point. He also discussed the incident involving Will Smith at the Oscars four years prior. "Hey, man. You know, to answer your question a little bit, I wish nothing would have happened," Rock said. "It’s a crazy world. We walk by homeless people. There’s all sorts of shit going on right now. Me having a bad day is not the biggest — it’s not that important."
Regarding his potential return to host the Oscars, Rock indicated it was unlikely, suggesting his "time might have passed." He added that he would only host again if he were nominated for an award, which he does not anticipate happening. "And that’s OK. We’ll deal with that if it happens. Like, let’s manage expectations."
