Chris said,

Referencing boxer Manny Pacquiao, Rock said that his fans will never see him sitting for an interview with Oprah Winfrey or Gayle King. Rock admitted,

“I’m not a victim baby, you will never see me on Oprah or Gayle crying. You will never see it…. It’s never going to happen. F–k that s–t, I took that s–t like Pacquiao”

The Spiral star also compared his case to David and Goliath. He noted that Smith was much bigger than him and even played Muhammad Ali in a film.

Rock joked,

“You think I auditioned for that? I played Pookie in ‘New Jack City.’ I played a piece of corn in ‘Pootie Tang,'”
