Will Smith backhands reporter

Will Smith just slapped a Ukrainian reporter across the face at the Moscow premiere of "Men in Black 3" -- and it was all caught on tape.

The Ukrainian reporter tries to kiss Will on the lips on the red carpet and the actor angrily pushes him away and then backhands him across the face.

You can clearly see that Will is incredibly pissed that the guy showed overt affection toward him.

After Will slaps the guy, Will says, "He's lucky I didn't sucker punch him."

We're told the dude who kissed Will is a television reporter who often kisses celebrities -- it's his schtick.

For the record, Will just came out in support of gay marriage.

A source on scene tells TMZ, the reporter's mouth brushed up against Will's and that's why the actor reacted so violently. Despite the incident, Will stayed positive ... and happily continued to sign autographs for fans and do red carpet interviews.

After the attack, the reporter was heard saying 'How come he don't want me maaaaaan?!'

Yeah, I love Will Smith… I’m glad he slapped the guy!!!! PERSONAL SPACE PEOPLE!!!! Lol!!!!

I don't have anything against gays but I'd probably acted about the same. It's not like he smacked um hard just a back off thing.

[Barkworm]

That was a pretty normal reaction.

[XERO]

Guess he needed six degrees of seperation.

Hah, awesome.

[BubblyShell22]

I would've done the same thing. Good for him.

I came in here expecting a full-on backhand, but that attack was weak. Come on, Smith, step it up!

Is that joke a reference to that Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode where Will found his father and he turned out to be a jerk?

As for the statement about supporting gay marriage, I've heard talk about him swinging the other way as well. Then again, who knows the truth to that?

No. It's a reference to Moby Dick.

totally would've done the same thing. That reporter needs to lose his job if he's known to do that allot

Well, I doubt Ricky Martin would have cared to have some total stranger shove his face into his and try to kiss him.

[Sage Ninja]

oh, come on for real? I just watched the clip and it was barely a slap. I would have done the same. From the first angle I didn't even see anything other than a a quick, "back off" shove. From the second angle all it looked like was a small slap. I hope Will doesn't get any sh*t for this, any one would have reacted that way if their personal space was intruded on.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I just saw a clip of it this morning. It wasn't that big of a slap or anything. So far, no one seems to be hassling him about it.
