Daniel Radcliffe praised for shutting down Susanna Reid's question on Will Smith drama

Daniel Radcliffe was applauded by fans after he shut down Susanna Reid 's question about the Will Smith and Chris Rock slap.

After Will smacked Chris across the face at the Oscars over the weekend, people have not been able to stop sharing their opinions on the astonishing moment.

The likes of Jim Carrey, Ricky Gervais and Zoe Kravitz have shared their thoughts on the matter.

On Thursday, it was still a hot topic on Good Morning Britain when presenter Susanna asked Harry Potter actor Daniel what he thought about the incident during an interview.

The actor appeared on the morning show to discuss his new film, The Lost City, with Susanna and co-host Ben Shephard but the topic became focused on the Academy Awards.

"I saw it, I’m just so already dramatically bored of hearing people’s opinions about it, that I just don’t want to be another opinion added to it," Daniel told the presenters.

Susanna said: "You don’t even want to hear yourself," to which Daniel responded: "No, no, not at all."

Fans were impressed with how Daniel handled the question during the interview about his movie, which also stars Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum.

They took to Twitter to applaud the star for trying to move on from the subject.

"YES YES YES Daniel Radcliffe Saying as it is..!! STFU about Will And Chris," another added.

During the Academy Awards, Will had walked up on stage and slapped the comedian across the face after he made a 'GI Jane 2' joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

When he returned to his seat, Will screamed out: "Keep my wife's name out your f***ing mouth!"

It has also been reported that the slap sparked outrage amongst US television viewers as they took to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to complain.

A total of 66 viewers have complained to the US government agency that regulates television, according to TMZ.

It's claimed viewers are calling for fines and are even invoking BLM.
