Denzel Washington: ”I’m Tired of Movies”
Denzel Washington,a name synonymous with cinematic excellence,has made a surprising confession: he’s over watching movies. In a recent interview with GQ, the 70-year-old actor, known for his powerful performances and history-making career, revealed a surprising disinterest in the very medium that made him a star.
During a conversation alongside Spike Lee, his director for the upcoming film Highest 2 Lowest, and co-star A$AP rocky, washington didn’t mince words. When A$AP Rocky playfully referenced Lee’s iconic dolly shots, Washington responded, “I don’t watch movies, man. I really don’t.”

I don’t go to the movies, I don’t watch movies.” When asked if his disinterest stemmed from being an actor and filmmaker himself, Washington admitted, “Probably. I’m tired of movies.”
