Will Smith seemed to be happy after finally being seen in public for the first time since his infamous Oscars incident.
Smith, 53, made his first appearance since he slapped comedian Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards at a private airport in India over the weekend, PEOPLE reported.
Smith arrived at the airport in Mumbai on Saturday and was greeted by a group of paparazzi.
Smith, who won Best Actor for his role in King Richard at the past Oscars, was seen wearing a white T-shirt, gray shorts over white compression pants, and a set of Nike sneakers and even took the time to pose for pictures with some fans, including an airport security guard.
Smith has since been banned from attending Academy Award events for the next ten years and called his actions “shocking, painful and inexcusable.”
“The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home. I betrayed the trust of the Academy,” he said. “I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken. I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film,” he said in a statement.
