No matter the interview his skills are unmatched. He’s honest and NEVER says anything to get himself in trouble. When he does answer it’s is short smart and to the point. He stays touching the heart of each matter and never gets trapped by those questions! With Paula by his side! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
My exact thought. I’d vote for Denzel in a NY minute. Not for his stardom on the screen. Because in a number of interviews, purely candid and impromptus his honesty and what I perceive as moral integrity shine. “You can’t legislate love”....
“I’d have to be more informed.” THANK YOU!!!! Holy shit the number of celebrities these days that pretend they know politics and immediately start acting like they’re the next MLK is too high nowadays
RPGMaster fair enough, but the problem is that celebrities have alot of power to sway public opinion. So their ignorance is much more dangerous than the average person (especially when some of them actively rally their fans/the general public towards a political viewpoint that they don't necessarily have full knowledge of/are ignorant towards).
The best part is that he is likely very informed. I personally think he is a very smart man. But he just doesn’t want to give this turd reporter a sound byte.
I just love how they're both in the same rhythm - him and his wife. You can tell how proud she is and how he respects her. He is well spoken but she steps up to input where he may falter. He also frequently looks to her to know if he's on track. It's just like my parents and it's beautiful.
@@redblazer29 @Sam i mean even if you voted Trump, not being able to legislate love means that we have to dictate our own actions and be in control of our own ideas of peace and love. Im assuming you're against BLM, wouldnt it be beneficial if we just thought for ourselves instead of having groups like these to determine how people think and act?
Are you saved friend? If you died tonight will you go to heaven or hell? God Almighty, the Creator was manifest in the flesh. He came into the world to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save yours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for your redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
Agreed. It’s just refreshing to see a celebrity with that kind of actual value to give through wisdom. Most aren’t doing so now days.. can’t do nothing about it though.

You know what, I don't even care who he voted for. The fact that he's not trying to use his fame as a political soapbox is respectable and I wish others would follow his example.
He has responded in that manner nearly every time I've seen him asked such questions. He will stand for freedom of speech. I believe he supports the second as well, but I could be wrong. From the few times I've heard him speak on issues, he believes in and understands the Constitution. If he were to take one of those where are you politically quizzes, my guess is he winds up low libertarian and slightly more than middle to the left.
I honestly believe celebrities who don't speak up for whatever the believe(conservative or liberal) they only do so because they don't want to lose money. it's all about not about being "respectable ".
Art Poet it's understandable that a conservative celebrity would be hesitant of disclosing their political leanings due to the hostility that most leftist have shown towards them. For example, Tim Allen was fired ONE WEEK after disclosing his political leaning. They said that the show had "low ratings" when it was actually the highest rated show in their network. And yes, it's about not losing money. How else do they care for their families? It's easy for a celebrity from the left to disclose their political leanings because they will be praised for it, not harassed or fired. While you talk about respectability, you should reconsider which left leaning celebrities are actually doing this to speak out and which ones are only doing it to increase their popularity which leads to more roles which in turn leads to more $$$ they receive. If you actually think about it, it all comes down to $
I don't get the boner America has about actors and their political views, like what the fuck would they know? They are people, just like us, they know the world just as us do, in parts.
His answers in this interview are the best and most enlightening stuff i have heard in decades. So much to learn from Mr Washington. He deserves his last name. God bless America.

@Saurabh Sharma Damn straight, 👍. That reporter was just asking for a knuckle sandwich. He was trying to out Denzel on who he voted for. I love when Denzel says "that's none of your business who I voted for". That's why most voting is done one at a time in a secure and somewhat private setting.
D Facilitator, Denzel Washington ROCKS!!!! NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR DENZEL!!!! And to Hollywood owners if you THINK of taking the true Patriot actors/actress out of American homes/lives YOU will be boycotted! My family, friends, and everyone I and others within earshot have no problem with boycotting your new world order agenda!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Absolutely fucking nailed it. Love comes from the ground level, from a culture level. Government has no business telling us how to think and feel and act, as long as we aren't bringing harm to others.
The idea that people shouldn't be allowed to discuss politics because of their occupation is asinine. If Joe the Plumber can wear a T-shirt that says F**k Joe Biden. Then Robert Deniro can wear a shirt that says F**k Trump. The first amendment gives them that right, and it shouldn't be suppressed because YOU disagree with them.
@ivanivanovic5857 Exactly! It's also none of my business who he (or you or anybody else, for that matter) voted for (I don't need to know that) and, by the same token, it's none of anybody else's business, including yours, who I voted for! You see, people crave this drama by being busybodies because they're BORED (from having life a little too easy, I might add) and therefore have nothing better to do (or so they THINK)! I suggest be thankful to God for everything you've been blessed with (after all, He's Who made it possible in the first place) because He can just as easily take it away from you (or ANY OF US)!
politics shouls always be talked about and discussed, like thats literally in the nature of politics! This is some old school crap my grandparents used to say, never talk about politics and religion! Please, ALWAYS talk about politics and religion, unless you have no arguments, then stfu, I dont wanna hear it!
No matter what he said, someone would have been mad. I don’t blame him for keeping his views private. The media would have twisted his words to fit whatever agenda. Denzel is a real G.
It's amazing how so many celebrities don't get that they should stay out of politics. NO easier way to inadvertently tank your entire career than talking politics.
He voted for Trump. If he voted for Hillary he would have zero problem saying it. Like every other Hillary supporter in Hollywood. Another hint is he has called out the news media before for being fake in this election cycle.
I respect the hell out of Denzel. I love that he admits when he doesn’t know. “I’d have to be more informed.”. There is nothing wrong with that. I wish more people could admit when they don’t know something. I love everything he said in this interview. Man is a legend.
Im not sure if he meant this specifically but it could be implied that he was saying he'd have to be more informed on which major issue is the most important. There are obviously a lot of issues in America so in reality having to pick the MOST IMPORTANT off the top of your head, you would need to be well informed on each and have to weigh their values subjectively which isnt very simple. making his response pretty much perfect.
@@goofball1_134 I mean, not to be an ass, but I think I would solidly say the erosion of our constitutional rights and the overreach of the federal government have consistently been the biggest issue in the US for the past 180 years. If the 2nd amendment wasn't repealed after slave owners and southern militias rebelled against the Union, killing over half a million Americans, what in god's name makes people think a couple hundred dead kids in schools is enough to repeal the 2nd amendment? Things like the right to bear arms, our freedom of speech, and civil rights are constantly being eroded by authoritarians under the guise, or perhaps delusion, of compassion and reducing harm
@@DSiren hey lets not forget how illegal taxes really are and how they are literally taxing us to death. i see who has been in charge since before they murdered kennedy, and its a shame they hide so easily. corporate america the worst murderer in the 21st century and soon to become much worse. we need those politicians facing justice not atm machines where they watch their accts rise.

"america we have the freedom to express ourselves" bullshit, if you express you like or support what people think it's wrong you are done, you can only express yourself if what you say fits what people wanna ear.
@@Real_SkyRipper I mean we all have the freedom to say what we want as long as you're not threatening someone's life.

@Concrete Head Sorry to break this to you, but here in Britain we've recently prosecuted a comedian for some dark humour involving a Nazi pug. If comedians don't have the right to offend, there's no freedom of speech.
No wonder the media leaves him alone...........every time they corner him he makes them look foolish.............which is why I love Denzel! My man...............
Not at all. The interviewer was doing his job. People want those questions asked, and the guy did politely. Asking those dumb questions is what gets people to watch.
Not only is this guy a phenomenal actor but he's off the charts intelligent. "You can't legislate love". What a brilliant answer to a shallow political question. This guy is on a different level than most.
I met him years ago in Vancouver BC. Such a wonderful and down to earth person. His smike comes from his soul and his heart. If only there were more people like he!
@@sirsobrepensador maybe he is but he surely is not the one who is saying racist things like 'If you don't vote for me, you ain't black' unlike Biden who look at black folks not like they are people, but someone he can exploit from. Then I guess, what they say is right about democrats/liberals that the most dangerous thing for them is an independent black man.
Bro, he can be like that. He's rich. Courts and laws don't effect him like they do normal citizens. So, he's full of shit, and fuck what celebrities think, and that's including our dumbass celebrity Hollywood star president.
Denzel is more than an actor man.. what a class act.. doesn’t talk about whats popular or fashionable, or say what others want to hear. Simply an intellectual speaking his mind.
Hell yeah, politic is becoming a sport partisanship. Everybody is in a team and they are fighting against each other instead of fighting together to get things done. Smh...
Was there such days? I mean politics is all about different views on subject wether you do want your kids to be told something or not etc people always had opinions but didnt realize its called politics.
Look and listen young men. No matter your color, creed, race, whatever, THIS is how a man conducts himself. You want admiration and respect, this is how it is done.
As said in the film black or white, it's not the first thought that counts it's the second third fourth etc and the interaction continues. Be disrespectful and you get it back tenfold
It’s partially embarrassing that comment you’ve made there.... some of what might be to do with the wording Nd the way you’ve put what seems like a “point” your attempting to make.... 🤢
This is a fair statement since the video is regarding politics and race. Your comment reflects Denzel's position in his distaste for divisive framing of the reporters questions.
Hes one of the worst reporters I've ever seen. Maybe he usually covers more serious stories, and if good at that. But if he is seriously an entertainment reporter, he needs to switch careers, and cover more serious things. Because he's not funny, charming, inviting, charismatic, or likeable in the slightest bit. Everything an entertainment reporter needs to be.
@@joeybaseball7352 DW seems to enjoy engaging with this "worst reporter", with a sneer on his face. DW likes to have his cake and eat it to. A marginal actor, at best.
Me too. I’m 65 and years ago. Voting was a special and private matter that was held in high regard. Even if the person you voted for won or loss. You dealt with it and kept on living.
What's with people letting their political leanings known though? I heard people say this before but never could figure out why? It seems to me people are ok with celebrities being political as long as they agree with their politics. If Denzel was in support say for instance BLM, the people praising him I doubt would be praising him. But he's keeping good mouth shut so he's fine. If he spoke out against BLM these same people praising him for not being political would most likely be praising his politics...it would be ok for him to speak up then.
I remember taking a business class in college and we were always preached to NEVER talk about politics or religion in professional settings. I think those days are over 😅
Exactly. In a democracy he's entitled to his opinion and his right to vote for whoever he wants. If he thinks he made the right decision who am I (who is living abroad) to judge him. Live and let live guys
Yes, but if he was honest to say he did. He may receive a lot of backlash from black people particularly black women who've been his core fan base. Look at what happened to Martin Luther King Jr, Tina Campbell and Corset Michelle.
And I think that's a part of the frustration. White actors don't get asked the "race" question, but without fail, at every movie premiere, a white reporter will ask it as though it's the most salient question there is and a public service to at that rather than stick to the questions being about the movies. SMDH Do these reporters even realise how racist this is? The race question is the gotcha question that they know will often trip up some Black actors, but D. Washington isn't playing that game.
He should have told Denzel he doesn't care who he voted for. Hes only asking because he's paid to. Funny an actor doesn't understand that you're not your job.

"You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it." - Malcolm X

Did you all notice how his wife was looking at him in such admiration? True love, honor and respect!!!!!!!!!!!

Rare these days with these feminists.
i would too if my husband was looking a millionths of that
I couldn't. Especially with my body on TV with other women body and butt drapped all over him and t-straps...FLIGHT

You can legislate the prison industrial complex, systemic poverty and everything else that underpins racial injustice.

Sorry mate....not to discredit you or anything (don't take this personal/the wrong way/as a insult) but in general when people say things like
"I'm this....or I have this" I am very skeptical to believe it because this after all is the internet where anyone can say anything and be anyone
I could say I am white (I'm not but you wouldn't know that if I didn't tell you or I could be lying right now) and my statment would be just as credible as yours
Regardless....even if I give you the benefit of the doubt....your experiences don't speak for the rest of reality.
"I lived through it" is not concrete evidence. You need to be more specific my friend....what do you mean they created those conditions...what conditions....how.....why....how would that benefit them?

Denzel Washington,..... spoken as a true gentleman and a scholar!
The chemistry between Denzel and Mrs. Washington is goals. She reacts knowing his answer already.
You are spot on. That's a actual couple who built what they are together. No lists , no what you bring to the table, that woman's statements start with word US, not mine and his. PERIOD. A lost art.

“You can’t legislate love.” That’s a great quote. Very smart man!
Sebastian Deep.
Deep? Gtfoh lmfao
My exact thought. I’d vote for Denzel in a NY minute. Not for his stardom on the screen. Because in a number of interviews, purely candid and impromptus his honesty and what I perceive as moral integrity shine. “You can’t legislate love”....
Progressives seem more inclined toward the fantasy of legislating equality.
Sebastian that’s nothing new to me
"I'd have to be more informed." Shows Mr. Washington is a humble person. I've got a whole new respect for him.
“I’d have to be more informed.” THANK YOU!!!! Holy shit the number of celebrities these days that pretend they know politics and immediately start acting like they’re the next MLK is too high nowadays
Matt Damon!
RPGMaster True, many people refuse to realize and accept the extent of their ignorance
RPGMaster fair enough, but the problem is that celebrities have alot of power to sway public opinion. So their ignorance is much more dangerous than the average person (especially when some of them actively rally their fans/the general public towards a political viewpoint that they don't necessarily have full knowledge of/are ignorant towards).
ATL Yes and actors are the least informed in history. Because you see them on tv they've got to be geniuses on everything.
The best part is that he is likely very informed. I personally think he is a very smart man. But he just doesn’t want to give this turd reporter a sound byte.
I just love how they're both in the same rhythm - him and his wife. You can tell how proud she is and how he respects her.
He is well spoken but she steps up to input where he may falter. He also frequently looks to her to know if he's on track.
It's just like my parents and it's beautiful.
Denzel is a smart and eloquent man.
I LOVE DENZEL!!!!!😘
He is an equalizer
So he voted for Trump
Love him. Could listen to him speak all day long. So handsome. Did i mention handsome?

Wise words
Mr Washington could have been a master politician had he designed so. Saying absolutely nothing, so well.
@Dead Man Don't waste your time and energy debating on the internet with jobless losers, you're making yourself look like one too.
Are you saved friend? If you died tonight will you go to heaven or hell? God Almighty, the Creator was manifest in the flesh. He came into the world to take away the sin of the world.

On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him.

I honestly don’t get why someone would ask an actor about politics. Would you ask an athlete about cooking?
“The president can’t legislate us to like eachother- we have to step up within us and love” sheesh what a guy.
Agreed. It’s just refreshing to see a celebrity with that kind of actual value to give through wisdom. Most aren’t doing so now days.. can’t do nothing about it though.
So True Mr. Washington, Hear Here!!

Can someone please tell all the lunatics running around on the streets peacefully burning cars and oppressing people this.
Wish more people used his path abd him as a role model instead of cardi b, sixnine n similar rotten brains.

She wants to suck his soul out of him looking at him like that
Very well said by Denzel. Every Hollywood celebrity should strive to be more like him. It's what true unity looks like.
You know what, I don't even care who he voted for. The fact that he's not trying to use his fame as a political soapbox is respectable and I wish others would follow his example.
He has responded in that manner nearly every time I've seen him asked such questions. He will stand for freedom of speech. I believe he supports the second as well, but I could be wrong. From the few times I've heard him speak on issues, he believes in and understands the Constitution. If he were to take one of those where are you politically quizzes, my guess is he winds up low libertarian and slightly more than middle to the left.
TheHibbitydibbity my thoughts the same.
I honestly believe celebrities who don't speak up for whatever the believe(conservative or liberal) they only do so because they don't want to lose money. it's all about not about being "respectable ".
Art Poet it's understandable that a conservative celebrity would be hesitant of disclosing their political leanings due to the hostility that most leftist have shown towards them. For example, Tim Allen was fired ONE WEEK after disclosing his political leaning. They said that the show had "low ratings" when it was actually the highest rated show in their network. And yes, it's about not losing money. How else do they care for their families?
It's easy for a celebrity from the left to disclose their political leanings because they will be praised for it, not harassed or fired.
While you talk about respectability, you should reconsider which left leaning celebrities are actually doing this to speak out and which ones are only doing it to increase their popularity which leads to more roles which in turn leads to more $$$ they receive. If you actually think about it, it all comes down to $
TheHibbitydibbity agreed
Denzel: "none of your business"

"My new kink is saying 'I don't know'"-Whitney Cummings
The idea that people shouldn't be allowed to discuss politics because of their occupation is asinine. If Joe the Plumber can wear a T-shirt that says F**k Joe Biden. Then Robert Deniro can wear a shirt that says F**k Trump. The first amendment gives them that right, and it shouldn't be suppressed because YOU disagree with them.
@ivanivanovic5857 Exactly! It's also none of my business who he (or you or anybody else, for that matter) voted for (I don't need to know that) and, by the same token, it's none of anybody else's business, including yours, who I voted for! You see, people crave this drama by being busybodies because they're BORED (from having life a little too easy, I might add) and therefore have nothing better to do (or so they THINK)! I suggest be thankful to God for everything you've been blessed with (after all, He's Who made it possible in the first place) because He can just as easily take it away from you (or ANY OF US)!
A good American Man
politics shouls always be talked about and discussed, like thats literally in the nature of politics! This is some old school crap my grandparents used to say, never talk about politics and religion! Please, ALWAYS talk about politics and religion, unless you have no arguments, then stfu, I dont wanna hear it!
No matter what he said, someone would have been mad. I don’t blame him for keeping his views private. The media would have twisted his words to fit whatever agenda. Denzel is a real G.
It's amazing how so many celebrities don't get that they should stay out of politics. NO easier way to inadvertently tank your entire career than talking politics.

I respect the hell out of Denzel. I love that he admits when he doesn’t know. “I’d have to be more informed.”. There is nothing wrong with that. I wish more people could admit when they don’t know something. I love everything he said in this interview. Man is a legend.
Im not sure if he meant this specifically but it could be implied that he was saying he'd have to be more informed on which major issue is the most important. There are obviously a lot of issues in America so in reality having to pick the MOST IMPORTANT off the top of your head, you would need to be well informed on each and have to weigh their values subjectively which isnt very simple. making his response pretty much perfect.
@@goofball1_134 I mean, not to be an ass, but I think I would solidly say the erosion of our constitutional rights and the overreach of the federal government have consistently been the biggest issue in the US for the past 180 years. If the 2nd amendment wasn't repealed after slave owners and southern militias rebelled against the Union, killing over half a million Americans, what in god's name makes people think a couple hundred dead kids in schools is enough to repeal the 2nd amendment? Things like the right to bear arms, our freedom of speech, and civil rights are constantly being eroded by authoritarians under the guise, or perhaps delusion, of compassion and reducing harm

Hes one of the worst reporters I've ever seen. Maybe he usually covers more serious stories, and if good at that. But if he is seriously an entertainment reporter, he needs to switch careers, and cover more serious things. Because he's not funny, charming, inviting, charismatic, or likeable in the slightest bit. Everything an entertainment reporter needs to be.
He always does. His UA-cam clips are some the best out there.
@@joeybaseball7352 DW seems to enjoy engaging with this "worst reporter", with a sneer on his face. DW likes to have his cake and eat it to. A marginal actor, at best.
@@michaeldoyle6702 DW is one of the greatest actors to ever walk the face of the earth.
@@joeybaseball7352 ok?
I miss the days when people kept their political leanings to themselves. That's right, it's none of your business.
Me too. I’m 65 and years ago. Voting was a special and private matter that was held in high regard. Even if the person you voted for won or loss. You dealt with it and kept on living.
Bingo!
What's with people letting their political leanings known though? I heard people say this before but never could figure out why? It seems to me people are ok with celebrities being political as long as they agree with their politics. If Denzel was in support say for instance BLM, the people praising him I doubt would be praising him. But he's keeping good mouth shut so he's fine.
If he spoke out against BLM these same people praising him for not being political would most likely be praising his politics...it would be ok for him to speak up then.
I remember taking a business class in college and we were always preached to NEVER talk about politics or religion in professional settings. I think those days are over 😅
@John E. Halton III yes!
Whether he voted for Trump or not this is none of my business.
Exactly. In a democracy he's entitled to his opinion and his right to vote for whoever he wants. If he thinks he made the right decision who am I (who is living abroad) to judge him.
Live and let live guys
Yes, but if he was honest to say he did. He may receive a lot of backlash from black people particularly black women who've been his core fan base. Look at what happened to Martin Luther King Jr, Tina Campbell and Corset Michelle.
He is a class act. We need more people like him in Hollywood ❤
He looks so annoyed with this reporter. If it’s a movie premiere shouldn’t the questions be about the movie?
Yup, the reporter was being a bitch for clicks
I can see that as well, reporter all in a brothers space, back the f up, that's why it's called a microphone!
And I think that's a part of the frustration. White actors don't get asked the "race" question, but without fail, at every movie premiere, a white reporter will ask it as though it's the most salient question there is and a public service to at that rather than stick to the questions being about the movies. SMDH
Do these reporters even realise how racist this is? The race question is the gotcha question that they know will often trip up some Black actors, but D. Washington isn't playing that game.
Larry Nicolas 💯
Exactly!!
I love how his wife smiles at him.
Yes. Smiling and acting classy is much better than twerking on the furniture like the rest of modern women.
@@HoodrichShinobi I agree but if we ask for this treatment we would be considered haters.
@@HoodrichShinobi true. Good example for young women but they're too busy thotting it up and abusing their bodies.
You can tell she is on the same page with him and is very supportive of his stance.
At last a celebrity who understands governments can't control human activity.
I just love his come back response " it's none of your business"❤!!!
Dumb questions, great answers
Miklo G He didn't even answer the question saying does the BLM impact race relations in good way or bad way.
He is too clever. However I doubt he will ever get a job in Hollywood again!
I loved watching his wife's face as he spoke. You can tell she loves him and has his best interests at heart.
The loser reporter is trying to bait him and Denzel doesn’t bite. Respect
@Karl Marx f r?
He should have told Denzel he doesn't care who he voted for. Hes only asking because he's paid to. Funny an actor doesn't understand that you're not your job.
Global economy will collapse cash will become obsolete we will transition to a cashless society using digital currency via rfid chip implants. Martial law is coming. Jesus christ is coming back for the rapture(this decade) Millions of true born again christians all babies and small children under age of accountability will suddenly vanish from the earth. Dont get left behind from rapture to face great tribulation coming to earth. America will be nuked and invaded by russia and china in near future to usher in new world order. Nwo beast system led by antichrist obama and false prophet pope francis ready to take over after rapture. Dont believe the coming massive deception of alien abduction explanation for rapture from obama. Fema concentration camps will be activated around the world post rapture. Refuse coming vaccine and rfid chip implant aka mark of beast at all costs
@Jon Jay Who Denzel Washington voted for is controversial ? You need to listen to yourself. Who some one votes for is their own business...that's why there is a curtain on the voting booth.
exactly media is trying to twist his words
I love how his wife is waiting in support of Denzel and looked at her for confirmation and input when he felt like he gave an answer. This is how man and wife are to relate.
“You can’t legislate love” my god that’s amazing, this man is wise. One of my fav actors.
I think it was originally said by someone else, if someone could tell me who..
@@lynx7631 honestly I'm not sure but it sounded good comkng out of his mouth lol
@@lynx7631 it is basically a short version of MLK quote, "Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless."
@@lynx7631 you also have Malcolm X quote, "You can't legislate good will - that comes through education."
