Also, she revealed that Chris Rock once asked her out on a date.

“I thought, ‘This is a skit,’” Pinkett Smith recalled of the moment. “I was like, ‘There’s no way that Will hit him.’ It wasn’t until Will started to walk back to his chair that I even realized it wasn’t a skit.” No, it sadly was not. The plot, only thickened, however, when Pinkett Smith went on to reveal that years prior—as she and Smith weathered previous divorce rumors—Rock actually asked Pinkett Smith out on a date. She, of course, declined.
“I think every summer all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce. And this particular summer, Chris, he thought that we were getting a divorce,” she
explained. “So he called me and basically he was like, ‘I’d love to take you out.’ And I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ He was like, ‘Well, aren’t you and Will getting a divorce?’ I was like, ‘No. Chris, those are just rumors.’ He was appalled. And he profusely apologized and that was that.” So, basically, Rock is really just another man who got rejected by a woman and then made a very public joke at her expense. Who’s surprised?
