Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield was spotted recreating Will Smith's now-infamous slap on Chris Rock at last Sunday's Oscars.
Smith's slap on Rock stunned the watching world, and it has been almost impossible to ignore online.
Now, a video has emerged of Garfield leaving the ceremony, where Garfield lost out to Smith in the Best Actor category despite his brilliant performance in Tick Tick Boom!, and seemingly recreating the most viral moment of the year so far.
Smith, the star of King Richard, seemingly took issue with a joke that Rock made about his wife's alopecia, which she has suffered from for years.

The New York comedian compared her to 'G.I. Jane', which didn't go down too well on their table, and following Jada's stone-faced reaction, Smith approached the stage to slap Rock in the most public way possible.
Garfield has grown into one of Hollywood's most respected actors in recent years. After bursting onto the scene in The Social Network, the 38-year-old was then cast as Peter Parker in Spiderman, where he became a firm fan favourite.
However, it was his portrayal of Jonathan Larson in last year's Tick Tick Boom!, a musical based on his early years in the entertainment industry, that earned him critical acclaim.

While Garfield ultimately left the Oscars empty handed, his cheeky reenactment of the slap amused plenty of fans online this week.

After a video of the faux-slap on one of his friends went viral on Twitter, one user replied: "I dont care Andrew's f*****g hilarious!", while another added: "Andrew is me as a kid after I see a movie and try to recreate the iconic scenes."
As for Smith, the reactions to what transpired last Sunday night continue to pour in from around the world.
Despite issuing apologies to both Rock and the Academy, more repercussions could be on the way for the American superstar.
