How are people confused about who his dad was??? He is his vocal twin.
Yes. And he looks just like his mom!😊
But the way he talks is different
Is.
I like Denzel and have seen 90% of his movies. But I had no idea when I watched Blackkkklansman that this guy was his son. I didn't really follow the talks shows and promotions of this movie when it had released and watchdd this movie in Blueray. I was watching it as it was a Spike Lee movie. And now in this quarantine time, I was following Tenet movie and saw one of his interviews and was literally shocked after realizing he is Denzel
's son. And now, I see the similarities but otherwise I think he has very less of Denzel style and has managed to create his own style of acting. Great work, waiting to watch Tenet in theaters!!!!
People still having babies, you know.
I thought Blackkklansman was a great movie and thought this man played his role perfect. I had no idea this man was Denzel Washington’s son. Glad I didn’t know at the time tbh, I probably would have easily been biased just for the fact that Denzel is his Dad lol. Gj congrats!
If the point of the movie was to make people realize racism is still alive today, why did they have such comical racist characters? Why not depict real racism?
@@zarpthunder
Because actual racism is, at it's core, a joke. The best thing you can do to your enemy is point out the sillyness of their argument. To portray them as simply evil may have inspired them, because they view evil as justice.
William Cortelyou it’s not a joke though. It’s a real problem that hurts real people. Evil is always based on perspective. I’m not saying to portray them as evil. I’m saying if the main goal is to make people realize it’s alive and well today to portray them as real people not comic book characters.
@@zarpthunder
You've never talked to a klansman then. They are basically comic book bad guys. They believe they are superior beings, and are chosen by God to rule the Earth. You are right, this issue is serious and needs to be treated as such. However, comic relief let's the message sink in better then droning on and on, on virtue. It's simply more entertaining. No racist is going to watch this movie, and simply not be a racist. That simply does not happen. It does however resonate with people unaware of these issues, which is the real fight. The old generation is set in stone. Make the next one better. Turn racism into the joke it really is. In the future, that's what it will be. Just a joke.
William Cortelyou no I’ve never talked to a klansman. I’ve talked to actual racist people who are still alive today. There are people who are borderline racist. Everything isn’t black and white, it’s not either you’re an old racist who will never learn or you’re a woke ass person who needs to filter things through comedy. There are people in their 20’s who are racist too.
You’re correct. Nobody who is racist is going to watch this movie and stop trying to be racist. And that’s the entire problem. The movie doesn’t solve anything. It only perpetuates the divide between people. And if your goal is to divide people, you’re no better than trump really.
He has his father's laugh & speech cadence. Huge fan of Denzel & now I will be seeing John David Washington's movies.
He definitely looks more like mom, but still SO handsome!
Looks like mom sounds like dad
Yo thats sus
@@ShayTBD EXACTLY!!
a little offensive but... ok.
@@Posh_Spice89 Truth
is often offensive
What an awesome movie! I actually got to meet Ron Stallworth and i walk past his house on my way to school its awesome to know that such a brave man lives in the same city as i do!:)
Woow, lucky you
mother earth Good day to you too!:) & he’s a really nice man very sweet😁
U are lucky ..
Did he marry his girlfriend in the movie portrayal? Dos he still live in Colorado Springs? These are the 2 questions I came away with from the movie & loved the movie!
Wow! Nice!
Watched blackkklansman while on a trip to england and had nothing to do for 3 hrs so just watched the film without thinking too much. Was blown away and one of the most enjoyable movies ive seen so far
Wow. I saw the trailers and dismissed it because I thought it was a parody it comedy but I saw an interview with Spike Lee recently and found out it was a true story. I'm going to watch it today. Black history month sleeps on some modern profiles. Or maybe I need to be informed.
Are you sure enjoyable is the right word... I woulda gone with "enlightening"
@@takes2knowgames900 english is my third language
@@takes2knowgames900 also a white supremacist blown up? Quite enjoyable
He’s an incredible person and that’s what I love about him. He’s extremely talented as his father and very handsome as well! Can’t wait to see what else John David has beyond Tenet and Malcolm & Marie! Keep up the flawless work Johnny! ❤️❤️
Wait what!! He is Denzel Washington's son!!! Now I know where he gets that charm and charisma
Dawg, he sounds like Denzel, lmaooooo
Ofcourse
I hear it now. can't unhear it.
He sounds like a true great White american.
😉😉😉
@VALMER LYNN ....KING KONG ain't got shit on me!
(Finish the dialogue) 😂
For real!
John David, if you ever see this comment, know this: You are a beautiful, talented actor unto yourself! You are not getting ANY accolades because of your parentage. It Is All You! And you deserve it. Keep pressing on and enjoy a long career. I feel the same about you as I do Janet Jackson. I am a fan of hers because She is amazing; not because of her family. And the same goes for you! God's continued blessings! Dr. Braxstine :o)
John in the video: "I tried really hard to make a name for myself and not be in my father's shadows"
RUclips comments: "OMG he sounds just like his dad!"
Lol true. But you can’t escape genetics
Laughs and talks like Denzel, looks like the mum. A parent's joy right there.
I can't get over how great a host Trevor Noah is!!
Ma Nigga
Underrated comment.
Way too underrated
Username checks out.😁
Yeaaaaaaaa
😂😂😂
Sounds like Denzel. Looks like Pauletta. Best of both.
Wow he does sound a lot like Denzel, more of his mom's looks imo :) Really talented and intelligent guy, I hope he wins GG and at least nominated for oscar. I'm gonna see this film now.
i watched kkklansmen I did not know he was denzels son he accomplished exactly what he wanted to, he made a name for himself without his fathers fame WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
Definitely interested in seeing the movie and Mr. Washington’s acting. He looks exactly like his mom but sounds just like dad and apparently has the talent of both of them, now that’s cool.
His mom acted too but stopped to raise him & then the others. I saw the film where they met on movie about Wilma Rudolph. 1st time seeing Denzel & thought wow he's so cute, but didn't know who he was & figured never see again being in a made for TV movie. He played Wilma's 1st boyfriend & he was a dream boyfriend so sweet & kind to her when they were just kids, poor, & she had polio. Thank goodness I was wrong about his acting career going forward! LOL Anyway, she said no nannies for her! Seen her a couple of yrs ago in a Lifetime movie playing Kevin Durant's grandmother. He has mom looks, dad vocals & both acting DNA - he's blessed!
I 100% feel what Trevor Noah was saying about the end of the movie. I was in tears.
He is the kind of son any Father would be proud of👌🏾
So impressed by this young man. Seems very humble and grounded. Loved the fact that he wanted to make it on his own.
OMG... it’s crazy! If you close your eyes, you literally would swear it’s Denzel talking! I can’t believe how much they sound alike!! 😮
Denzel is still smoother, no offense, his son seems cool too 😉
Silver Bat oh hell ya... Denzel is pure 🔥🔥. Son isn’t there yet!! 😂😂
Well Hello Ladies 😂😂
Denzel Washington ... HAHA.. I WISH!! Shhh... don’t tell my husband! 💯😂
Proud legacy, torch is being passed into good, well capable hands. “Inclusion” ♥️
Powerful! Just watched TENET and I'm blown away! He perfected the lead role. Inclusion it is! We're now seeing people of all races taking lead roles and being acknowledged.
LMAO..."yeah yeah...THAT GUY" Wow...how difficult it must be to be raised in that shadow. MUCH respect David for having the courage to follow your dreams despite such pressure. Unbelievable!
And can you imagine bringing a girl home? Ya know most would be checking for pops! LOL I hope he gets w/ someone whose not honestly impressed w/ his parentage. He should date a scientist type who rarely watch TV/Movies! LOL
I remember playing against him in college. It's dope what he's doing now.
Comment section didn't realise this grown adult is Denzel's son. Must make him feel awesome his mission was accomplished and he didn't ride his father's coattails or name. Even though I suspect his growing up wasn't a struggle. And his dad must be proud. He is one exemplary celeb kid
I knew but not because movies. I knew him from football because Denzel mentioned he had a son that played football. He even made it to the NFL he was in the Rams and Giants.
He's the oldest & remember the early yrs of some struggle more than the siblings after him. I think once Denzel got on St. Elsewhere things started looking up & bruh never looked back. LOL He mentioned cheap butt Sizzlers in the clip! LOL I also remembered Paula saying like 25+ yrs. ago, Denz hated when the family spent good $$ on him alone when the $$ truly started flowing on the regular! Which suggests he remember the struggle, being a black actor & H'wood in general, he wanted to keep the $$ for the family & not on him!
I'm so ashamed to admit that I didn't know he's Denzel's son uptil this video. I just watched the trailer, watched the movie, and loved it! Kind of having a crisis rn, how could I miss that. I checked the cast tab on Google!!
Don't be ashamed. That's exactly what he wanted. People to know him for him. Not who his father is. So you good. 👍🏾
Even tho' he sounds like dad, looks like mom, and you did what he wanted - know him for him. So you're all good!
When I first heard the trailer for this movie I just kept saying, "Man! This guy sounds exactly like Denzel!" Brought my mom's attention to it she agreed with me. Find out later on that he should being his son and all. Lol excellent job!
He is his father’s son. He looks and sounds just like him
Looks more like his mom, but definitely sounds like his dad
Rhonda Denis male version of his mom with his dad’s voice.
Nah he looks like his mom. He sounds like his dad. But that's his mom. All through his face.
To me he looks like ma, talks like pa! LOL Very good actor. Ma was an actress before having 4 kids (said she wanted to be a stay at home - no nanny), so he got double DNA acting too. He's a great combo of both his parents!
HIS VOICE THO love him from ballers Ricky lol
CTHU, I looooved me some sorry boyfriend, but afraid of his mom, $$ saving Ricky Jarrett from episode 1! ROTFL Never saw the last season (no HBO) but read Ricky made out okay in the end! Didn't know who he was, but kept thinking, gosh he sounds like someone I know. Then it hit me, Denzel! Didn't make the connection until folk started same talk on Twitter & somebody figured it out! LOL Good DNA acting genes between ma & pa too!
He also brought American racism to light in Monsters and Men
Apparently there are 50 clansmen that watched caused there's literally no reason to dislike this video.
Teresa Davis
You’re likely right, but some people are just rude and there could well be a few of them jumping in as well.
I only saw one movie at the cinema this entire year, and this was it. It was an excellent movie.
Movie was amazing and that little bit of history made an impact in so many ways. His performance was amazing and he is a really great actor with range. Looking forward to his future projects
it's as if they took Denzel Washington vocal cords and implanted in him.
Like Eddie & now deceased son, Gerald Levert. Only few folk I know where kid sound just like parent vocally tho'. He looks like his mom, sounds like dad = great combo!
I remember my shock at the end of the movie showing 2016 footage of David Duke and just thinking, dammit, he's still around? Craaaap.
JDW is so precious! And did such a good job in BlacKkKlansman! Him and Adam Driver had the best chemistry!!
It's funny, he did change his voice, just when he first picked up the phone and said "Helloooow..." but then he just dropped it and used his regular voice. OMG I fall off the couch laughing every time I watch what happened after that. The movie is awesome and the 4K Blu-ray is beautiful :) And one other fun part of the movie is like the Beavis and Butt-Head or like Pain & Gain dynamic, where you have a group with different levels of stupidity that play off each other. "The Organization" members are like that... it's hilarious.
While he is speaking all I can hear is Denzel's voice....sweet
He had the voice of his Dad in Training Day. Before I knew he was his son because he look just like his mom and she is a beautiful woman I said he is doing a very good Denzel imitation. We love you John David and may God continue to bless you.
This guy is the new black panther
Love me some John Washington
Blackkklansman is a phenomenal movie, a must see. Great cast, and of course, anything done by Spike Lee is best quality. He is a maker of masterpieces of originality and message.
John D. Washington 😍😘
Denzel must be such a proud father.
He does the best Denzel impersonation 😀
He sounds just like his father. He is beautiful like his mother.
Got respect a movie that makes you laugh, cry, and think. Amazing flick everyone should watch.
Should also bring on the actual cop who the movie was based on
John David looks So much like his mother and sounds just like his father !
He has his dad's eyes and voice.
He looks just like his mom eyes & all & just dad's voice. Got both their acting chops. Mom stopped acting to raise her kids - no nanny! Amen. I do know they had to spend their summers in either N. or S Carolina where she's from originally so they'd be normal & not H'wood brats! They did a great job! All 4 kids are college grads too. Morehouse (HNCU, NYU, Yale, & U. of PA - no rinky-dink schools. All his kids are now in working in H'wood either in front of or behind the camera. His sister, Olivia (twin to the brother) & other sister, Katia also acts. Katia was on some cable series a few yrs. back, work behind the scenes w/ Tarantino & was in The Butler. Not sure if the cable show still airing, never watched it. Malcolm (twin to Olivia) U of PA also graduated from AFI. All this info update on kids I got from www.bustle.com/p/what-do-denzel-washingtons-children-do-they-followed-in-their-parents-footsteps-39839 And they all look more like ma!
"yeah, that guy" 😂
He sounds like his dad
Hello from Nairobi
tHIS MAN IS SO INTELLIGENT.
great job, denzel 💖🙋🏽♀️
He is a future Oscar winner for sure. Denzel must be proud
Sound just like his dad
It’s the dap at the end for me 🤝🏾
You know what's the best thing about this man,I first know him as an actor from his movies rather than someone's son especially that someone is Denzel Washington ✌️
That Denzel laugh lol
Truly talented young man. I saw the video This is America. I'm impressed
Congratulations JDW👏👏👏 I've seen your mom at the Shomburg and grew up on the many movies and moaning of women because of your Dad! My younger sister once worked for the PR firm that rep him and got an autographed photo 😉
That scene when he finally let's that prick Duke have it, in the movie... Hahahahaha ♥
Absolutely loved that movie and John's performance.
Sounds like his Dad and looks like his Mom. Awesome Guy.
This is such a good interview holy shit.
Seems like a really good guy, like father like son.
I feel the need for a movie starring John David Washington and Ethan Hawke.
19thHour
Ooooooo, yes!!!
Yeah I watched John David in BlackKlansman, he did fantastic.
Damn what a perfect handshake
I loved the movie, l watched in Portugal. I laught a lot, but I cried a tone at the end.
Looks like his mom, sounds like dad 😎
Note to the Washingtons....Good job, Denzel & Pauletta. You've raised a fine man despite Hollywood. But knowing the background and family Christian Values...not the least surprised here. God Bless you all. I used to work on the Columbia Lot/ Sony. Denzel and I passed each other and did the brother's "nod" and I went my way and he to his offices on the film lot. Thalberg Building, where he'd come in on the South gate...walking with a huge carry bag, scripts and etc...it was a cool day. Same happened with Will (Smith) another time..."Hancock". It was a chance encounter but to see actors without the entourage, very special. I respected his personal privacy as most on a film lot will do, because he was going to work. As was I, IT specialist for Xerox on the former MGM Lot in CC. So to see the interview, very special. To know he did it on his own, I'm sure that's very satisfying for the family. Godspeed, young actor. Do well...
I saw that movie 3 times!! It was great.
I saw the movie, thought you were amazing. Also, I had no idea who your parents were. Bought the book book, too.
HEY ITS RICKY JARED FROM 'BALLERS' 😆👌
I did not know he was Denzel's son. Love his character in Ballers.
oh ja definately.😆
Ricky Jared ALWAYS has problems in 'Ballers' 😄
@@MrShowtym Loved me some Ricky Jarret! He was a sorry arse boyfriend, scared of his mom (always thought they'd have her on an episode given she acted b4 having kids - no nannies for her), & especially loved he saved & watched his $$! Missed final season tho'. Last I seen ma act was as Kevin Durant's grandmother on his life on Lifetime.
"Yeah, yeah. THAT guy." 😊
Definitely his father son
That’s Ricky man! Love Ballers!
Very talented
Wait this guy is son of Denzel Washington. My grandma loves his work! I would love to see this movie very soon
He laughs just like has father
I'm flashing on that scene from Blazing Saddles....
Watching from our studio in Nairobi KENYA
What's happening re shooting at hotel on Riverside? Still ongoing?
I saw this movie and he sound like Denzel Washington was doing voice over.
Perfect mix of his mom and dad ❤️. I need to see this film 😳👏🏾!!
If anyone should succeed the iconic Chadwick Boseman (Rest in power) as T'Challa/Black Panther, it should be John David Washington. This is considering that his dad Denzel was a father figure to Chad.
YES! 06:40 "Oscar, as well."
That laugh 4:53 😍 lol
David low key wiped his hand after shaking Trevor's....lol
One of my favorite movies eveeeeer
A very good actor
It hurts a little that the recent Boeing Gets Grounded video got over a million views, and this hasn't broken 200k.
I am Italian, black people are in very small numbers over here compared to the States but I just cannot understand the idiotic racism that exist to this day in America. I understand often behind racism hides ignorance and fear but this extreme hatred for someone who just happens to have a different skin colour is evil. On the subject of actor John David Washington, he definitely inherited the acting talent but he is is own man and I think he is funnier than his dad (I suppose they"ve had very different upbringing...)
Who's here after TENET
Mzansi's watching Day Walker 🧟♂️ 🇿🇦 ✊🏿
he has the same laugh as his father...😘😘
Really? He's his son? Awwwww... He's sooo cuuuute. Well done, Denzel! 😎
mean well done mom too? Looks like ma sounds like pa! She acted before the kids & quit - no nannies! They both did a great job, 4 kids, 4 college grads w/ Morehouse, Yale, NYU, & U of PA. Given Denz was working, I give more credit for kid raising to ma! LOL
He looks like his Mom, and sounds-especially his laughter, just like his dad. Uncanny.
He is Denzel Washington's son. WHAAAAAAT :D
Green Book? NO WAY. This was the best 2019 Oscar! Period!
“Yea yea dat guy” 🤣
