Will responded with a backhand slap to the reporter's face, saying "Come on man, what the hell is your problem buddy?"
When the two women Will was walking with turned to view the incident, the actor apologized and explained.
"The joker is lucky I didn't sucker punch him," Smith said to a nearby cameraman.
