Denzel Washington sparks heated debate after interview with film critic goes viral: 'Insufferable'

Washington expressed, 'I wasn’t a real film buff – no, I’m not a big movie fan. I was in the street when he was making movies.' His experiences growing up detached from typical Hollywood influences shaped his view.

Denzel noted, 'I didn’t start acting until I was 20 years old and didn’t start really going to the movies until I was 20, 22, 23.' This clarifies his late entry into the cinematic world.

During his interview, Washington said, 'As a teenager, I went to see movies like 'Shaft' and 'Super Fly,' showcasing his connection to significant films of the Black community during his youth.

One viewer remarked, 'I'M SO GLAD DENZEL DID THIS!' signaling a strong supportive reaction to Washington's candid revelations about his background and film appreciation.
