Published 5th Feb 2016

Will Smith has opened up about boycotting the Oscars award ceremony.

Speaking to our entertainment reporter Jo Parkerson he explained that he wants Hollywood to be pushing forward to create a more inclusive industry.

It's not a 'fight' he said and he added the Hollywood community is like a 'family' who'll all work through the issue.

It's after his wife Jada Pinkett Smith annouced they would not be attending the event arguing that 'people of colour' don't get nominated enough, an issue which Will Smith describes as 'regressive'.

Will Smith has been promoting his film Concussion which is** released on February 12th and Suicide Squad** which is out on August 5th.
