Despite that, Chris did NOT say no, when asked if he would host the award show again...

From E! News

Chris Rock is all about forgiving and forgetting.

It’s been three years since the comedian hosted the Oscars and, infamously, was slapped onstage by Will Smith over a joke he made about Will’s now-estranged wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

But as for whether Chris would ever return as host, he coyly told E! News at the annual Vanity Fair Oscars Party, “You never know.”

“This is what I would say, the most miserable people on earth are people that can’t forgive,” he continued. “And not just people, you have to forgive yourself sometimes. So, hey, you never know.”

The Madagascar alum also had a sage reply as to whether he’s fully moved on from the now-infamous incident, which ultimately led to Will receiving a 10-year ban from Academy events and his later public apology to Chris.

“I live in forgiveness,” Chris noted. “True love starts at forgiveness.”
