A true man: humble, grateful, kind, generous, dignified, and with great character. Intelligent and immensely talented, too, obviously. A living legend.
The woman that Denzel talks about at the beginning of this interview in his mother's beauty salon when Denzel asks his mother who is this woman making these predictions. She is my grandmother her name is Ruth Green. Every time I hear Denzel mention this story about my grandmother over the years it blows me away. My grandmother passed away. But I am very grateful to Denzel over the years for mentioning the event that happened with my grandmother. Also, my mother who is Ruth Geen's daughter would tell me throughout the years that she used to babysit Denzel when he was a little boy. Her name is Mary Robinson aka Tootsie. I was raised in born in Mount Vernon NY. God Bless you and your family Denzel.🙏🏾🙏🏾 James Robinson
I'm a white 34 year old italian male from NJ and I absolutely love him, he has a stoic captivating presence in ever movie I have ever seen him in and always watch whatever movie he starred in because his acting alone carried most films.
There is no one like Denzel Washington , as an actor he is iconic , in his generation , he’s the best , a couple of Oscar’s under his belt , a much in demand actor , always , like I said there is no like Denzel Washington , gifted, handsome as hell, a talent so big barely holds a movie screen , just saw his last Equalizer going to miss the franchise excellent movie like the other 2, he’s a national treasure like I said , there is no one like Denzel Washington.
The love he had for his mum. I saw an interview with him on Steven Colbert after she died and he cried. My heart broke for him bc I know what it's like to owe your mum everything. I'm glad he was able to repay her and hope I can do the same with mine someday.
His spirituality reflects in his words, actions and work that he does. Watched Equalizer 3 twice and planning to watching it again, love to look at him.
Denzel is a gifted actor, but he seem like he is a wonderful person. He is a man of faith, and often acknowledge his faith. He also seem to show great respect for his fellow actresses and actors. He has reached the pinnacle of his profession, but remains humble. I wish Denzel continued success.
Ive always had nothing but respect 🙏🏿 for this man and his work!!! One of the best I've ever seen. First movie i saw him in was A SOLDIERS STORY and one of my favorites. Best movie ever by far was CRY FREEDOM!!!! Also Ed Bradley I miss you SIR as you too were AWESOME!!!!
Denzel Washington is such a good actor that he can just melt into his character, and make you forget its him. Tom Hanks is another who can pull that off. Some actors will always be the same character to me. For example, Keanu Reeves will always be "Ted" in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. No matter what character Denzel plays, he becomes that character. Top notch
Same Thing Happened To My Brother; When My Father & Mother Separated; My Brother Started Failing School; My Mother Guy Friend; Talked To Him On A Regular Basis & Today He’s Doing Great… Men Need A Strong Man In Their Lives, When Growing Up…
If i had to choose just ONE actor and a person i have forever admired, and asked to put just ONE guy at the top of the top for Greatest actor and#1 personality It would be HANDS DOWN Mr. Denzel Washington.
It was never about $ for him, it was about freeing himself & others on display in real time while he was purporting his initiative to demonstrate what he truly believed in, and that is character in self, no matter what the platform entails, he owned it in that moment right then and there. Love this Man... PEACE!!!
I admire, respect and love Denzel washington. He is a spectacular man!! In his work or his personal life.... loved him since I first saw him, watched every piece of his work, I have a folder on my laptop, which says 'Denzel collection'❤
I saw his performance in Julius Caesar, in which he was wonderful, as usual. I also got a chance to meet him and he autographed my program. I'm a big fan, and I always will be.
I'm a pro musician who plays a lot of high end weddings in New England (I'm from Boston). We usually have to load in through the service elevators in the expensive hotels. One day I'm loading in at the Four Seasons and I'm holding the elevator door open telling my drummer directions to the correct ballroom for the event. In walks Denzel! I say I'm sorry to him for holding up the elevator and he politely says "no worries, go ahead" and I give my drummer lengthy instructions on how to find the room we are playing. Denzel patiently waits and I'm like (I'm holding up Denzel F'n Washington to give my drummer directions!). Lol. He was very gracious and I realized he took the service elevators to remain anonymous and not be accosted by people. True story. Next time I'll tell you about how I played a wedding and the actor who played Gustavo Fring from Breaking bad was next to me taking pictures. lol. Another true story.
The Film "Cry Freedom" is where, in my opinion he should have collected his first Oscar Award. He played the role of Steve Biko in that film. He gave a tour-de-force performance. Mr Denzel Washington is one of Hollywood outstanding actors. He conducts himself amicably both on and off camera. He is an actor that I would love to meet and work with one day.
Wow! Great Archival piece. Two titans in respective fields. The Late great Ed Bradley. Just when i thought I was privy to most things D. W. Attending The Boarding School upstate was a revelation.
I love this man. He is an amazing actor. And his accent is excellent. I've seen a lot of his movies. And he is amazing. The problem is that he doesn't make a lot of movies. Or they don't show his films. What can I say about him. His English is excellent. And I don't speak English. But it's easy for me to hear him... I wish you a lot of success and a lot of movies.
Denzel Washington has my utmost respect without a doubt. He is not just a superb actor, but also a wonderful person in general.
Denzel is a living legend, One of the most talented actors ever
There’s something about him he’s got the magic for sure
@@nickpaz9113it is Not magic , Anointed
@@ja2415It can be both , which it is , and more. Annoited and magical are different principles.
because he was one of the hardest working actors ever. he had an obsession that's what you need
💯
A true man: humble, grateful, kind, generous, dignified, and with great character. Intelligent and immensely talented, too, obviously. A living legend.
He's one of the greatest actors that ever lived. God give you the gift of gab and you use it to the best of your abilities.
Evolution gave him the gift.....and he's mid, at best.
@@griffincontractingsorry no such thing as EVOLUTION?????
Father in Heaven gave him the BEAUTIFUL talent he has Got 💞
@@griffincontractingmid at best lmao that’s a good one. Stay in school kids.
I have absolutely the highest respect for Denzel Washington. Not only is he a great actor, but a fantastic human being period.
Right! Extremely unproblematic
God bless your Mother for raising such an amazing young man!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I never met Denzel but has met his Mother and she was a loving and sweet Lady. She was me and my Sister hair dresser. We Mis Mrs Lynn.
@@sandi8596 Agreed, but the mother sheds light on the right path, then it is their choice which way to go. So
Bless them both! 💕💕
Denzel is a authentic actor.. which is why he's so unique
He has EARNED ALL the respect and recognition he has received!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just love this guy! He has NEVER been afraid of a challenge. Keep going Denzel! You still have many speeches to make!
Finally someone who said the one thing out loud what we all were thinking which is, acting is not work it’s acting 🎭!

Wonderful story about your Grandmother. Thank you for sharing her name and story. God bless you and your family.🙏🏻❤

How can you be white if you’re Italian? 🤣
Why point out that you're white?
It shouldn't matter what race you are to like and respect another human being
RIP Ed Bradley you are missed.
Well said 😢🙌🏿

In love with this man, talented, beautiful, an incredible being

I owe her everything, he said. I love how Denzel gives his mother credit for his success. ♥
Well said, a man speaking so highly of his Mother. I especially get that 😉
All the qualities and essence of not just a man but a wise man as well.
His spirituality reflects in his words, actions and work that he does. Watched Equalizer 3 twice and planning to watching it again, love to look at him.
Best actor ever.
Greatest actor in my lifetime. 👏👏👏👍👏👏Denzel Washington.
“Acting is not work”. This man knows his stuff!
And I love listening to Denzel and watching his movies! He is one of my favorite actors of all time! 💕
Denzel is such a handsome, talented and charming man.

Absolutely love Denzel , he’s The Tops!!!!!❤❤❤❤
An amazing archived interview about an amazing actor. He will be remembered as one of the greatest of all time
An amazing actor and a great interviewer in the late Ed Bradley ❤
He transcends acting and can inhabit any role because of his humanity.
Yes he is very accomplished and also very handsome!! 🔥🔥🔥

#nothingbutlove
L O V E him. Such a deep, creative, emotive man.
I saw his performance in Julius Caesar, in which he was wonderful, as usual. I also got a chance to meet him and he autographed my program. I'm a big fan, and I always will be.
Denzel is my favorite actor period. His voice, his range as an actor, how he pronounces his lines through character is extrodinary.
Mr Washington would make an excellent President...he is a national treasure.
My man!
Denzel the last of the class acts. 🤩🤩🤩😁👍🏆🏆🏆🏆
yes!
Best movie for me for Danzel Washington is Man On Fire ❤
"acting is not work... Garbageman is work"I was looking for that line for long time on how to describe people in Hollywood.
Legend
DENZEL IS ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE ACTOR EVER,,,,HIS POTRAYAL OF MALCOLM X WAS ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING,,,BEST I'VE EVER SEEN ON FILM OR TV!!!!!!👑👑👑🤎🤎🤎
Most people would not have paid attention to any prophecies but he did . When God has a message for you you should listen!

Nothing but respect for DENZEL!❤❤❤
He is so gifted. Glory to God🔥🔥🔥
Have the utmost respect for Mr Washington. May God bless him always 🙏
Denzel my lifetime fav actor!!!!!
The Film "Cry Freedom" is where, in my opinion he should have collected his first Oscar Award.
He played the role of Steve Biko in that film. He gave a tour-de-force performance.
Mr Denzel Washington is one of Hollywood outstanding actors.
He conducts himself amicably both on and off camera.
He is an actor that I would love to meet and work with one day.
But imagine if he left out, he might be have legacy.
Brother Denzel Washington is amazing actor 😮❤😮
Wow! Great Archival piece. Two titans in respective fields. The Late great Ed Bradley. Just when i thought I was privy to most things D. W. Attending The Boarding School upstate was a revelation.

Good and humble as always...
Ed Bradley, The Great.
My favorite actor and one of my hero’s
Love the music! And , love your voice!
Of all the greats Denzel has starred in and played a supporting role in. the one that stands out the most for me is Crimson Tide
@SusanK1960 is a good one, but I counter with Training Day.
We are so sorry, a great actor ❤
I love how none of the news stations are talking about the sound of freedom
He keeps honing his craft in the best environment for actors, no wonder he's the best 🎉
Beautiful story
Denzel is the coolest guy ever
Denzel is the best, He could play Dirty Harry and pull it off. He oozes Cool. Wish him a long healthy Life.
They talk about the 2 Oscar's that he has but let's talk about the others he should have. I count about 2 or 3 more with 1 of them being Malcolm X
We BOTH know WHY he didn't get one for Malcolm X
@marvinhagler4721 Yep...We know why. Spike also should've got a Oscar for best director for that movie.
I admire this man ❤❤❤❤❤
Always enjoy his work
Denzel Washington playing Brutus like his idol Marlon Brando was a full circle moment
The GOAT!
I don’t know anyone that dislikes this man
