Tom is so natural, smart and light hearted. Doesn't make the interviewee burdened and brings the best out of them

A vulnerable and intimate conversation. Tom's interviewing style is great!

Some of the strongest and influential words I ever heard in a film was by Poitier.. " You look at yourself as a Black Man, I look at myself as a Man." I felt it through S Poitier and D Washington from their very beginnings. That phrase supersedes all races and class.

so insightful. Thank you to everyone who made this interview possible.🙏

Fantastic interview.

[@laner1172]

You can tell how Denzel does NOT want to talk about race despite the interviewer constantly bringing it up.

[@ckarsenal]

A complex issue but when you're Denzel Washington, I think it's safe to say that you are afforded certain luxuries that the average black actor is not.

"So?" Hahaha
The interviewer _must_ be aware that colourblind casting (and gender-swapping) has been a thing in theatre for a long time now. It's film that needs to catch up. Or maybe he isn't aware...

When did Macbeth become Othello?
