Channel Seven commentator Brian Taylor took a swipe at Chris Rock when he was spotted at an AFL game in Sydney on Sunday.
The Hollywood star, 57, was taking a break from his sold out national comedy tour to watch Sydney and Collingwood battle it out at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Upon seeing the famous face in the crowd, Taylor was quick to reference Rock being slapped by actor Will Smith at the 94th Academy Awards earlier this year.

‘Famous face here Chris Rock, of course of Grown Ups fame, and he just accepts a slap really well these days doesn’t he, Chris Rock,’ Taylor joked.
Fellow commentator Alister Nicholson tried to play off the remark, adding: ‘I reckon in terms of A-listers he’s just behind Buddy Franklin in terms of No. 1 at the SCG today BT.’
Viewers at home were left stunned by the remark, taking to social media to laugh off the comments.
‘BT,’ wrote one exasperated fan alongside a skull emoji.

Actor Will Smith has since apologised to Rock in a video shard to his Instagram account.
During the clip, he made a point of stating that he had been aware of his fans’ reactions to the incident at the Oscars ceremony.
‘Over the last few months, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and personal work…you asked a lot of fair questions that I wanted to take some time to answer,’ he said.
The performer went on to issue an apology to the comedian for his actions during the event.
‘Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I’m here whenever you are ready to talk,’ he said.
He noted that he was ‘fogged out’ when he attacked the comedian and that his recollection of the event was ‘fuzzy.’
Smith then expressed that he was personally affected by the public’s reaction to his past actions.
‘Disappointing people is my central trauma. I hate when I let people down, so it hurts,’ he said.
The performer concluded by adding, ‘If you hang on I promise we’ll be able to be friends again.’
