Denzel Washington and Ashton Sanders on The Equalizer 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ต.ค. 2024
- Denzel Washington has been on quite the run over the last few years with Oscar-nominated turns in films like Flight, Fences, Roman J. Israel, Esq. and well received action films like Safe House, Man on Fire, and The Equalizer. The sequel to that last film, The Equalizer 2, features Washington reprising the role of Robert McCall who pursues the killers responsible for the death of a friend. McCall also focuses on guiding a young man named Miles out of a life of crime. Moonlight's Ashton Sanders plays Miles and he delivers a subtly fantastic portrayal of a man in conflict between the pull of the criminal element in his neighborhood and the brighter, possible future that McCall is presenting to him.
At the press day for the movie, I sat down with both of them to ask why Washington chose this movie to be his first sequel, what he enjoyed exploring in this movie, and what Sanders learned from working with Washington.

The red carpet interview with Ashton meeting Denzel brought me here.
melvin barnett same. Wanted to see what movie they were making.
@@tydoom4264 or made...
melvin barnett same 🙋🏽♀️. I saw that and had to see this 😀
FACTS!!
Me too bro
“See you at work”
IYKYK 💯🔥
shoutrite91 = If You Know You Know 🤔
Dreams come true
K. P. Spoke it into existence
This!
Man Ashton wasnt kidding. He really was gonna do a movie with Denzel.
Thats wild
@@MySwaglord why? They're actors. Lol I'm sure he wouldn't lie to an idol that's a colleague
@@rogeliofelix13 seriously, just cause some people can’t do impressive things they assume everyone is joking when they vocalize achievable goals
And it was a good movie too! But then again, Denzel was the main character lol
Manifestation at its best bro
Ashton looking like "I'm here with my DAD" 😁😁😁 Love it.
😂😂
Right lol😂
Dad ** .
Hero**
He’s not acting awkward guys when your in a room with a legend in your craft you watch and study and make sure you take whatever you can from that situation
💯💯💪🏾
True...
Naw his whole persona is to be awkward n off
@@allthingssports6095 he's him. Not weird
“God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason”

They finally met at work. The red carpet interview brought me here
Same here
Me too
He knew he was gonna work with him. His agent told him the role was secured. Thats why he couldn't talk about it on the carpet.
I 100% relate to Ashton’s awkwardness lol you’re doing good man
Who wouldn't be nervous being sat next to Denzel Fucking Washington, and also being a young actor as well
@@BAEPEGMAFIA shouldn't be nervous, he just did a movie with him. Guy is too tense its uncomfortable to watch
@@bro89174 he's Denzel Washington dummy!
J R I agree w you lol, it’s so damn cringe worthy like dude RELAX you already met him plenty of times you guys just shot a movie lol
lol
Look at how Ashton is studying Denzel. He is literally studying a living legend.
He’s closely observing Denzel’s fingers because that’s how Reptilians communicate. At 0:29 the interviewer is showing off his curved thumb, a common feature of the Djinn i.e. Reptilian.
The young actor would seemingly appear to be giving off gay vibes the way he stares down at Denzel’s mid section. To the untrained eye he appears to be “studying him”. To a thinking person, he’s exhibiting sexual tension by staring deeply at Denzel’s body. But, those with eyes to see and ears to hear with, these are simply three shapeshifters communicating both telegramically and telepathically.
@@dragonknightofamiraka3636 LMFAOOOO WHAT???
@@dragonknightofamiraka3636 stop taking DMT and commenting on you tube at the same time
@@dragonknightofamiraka3636 LMAOOOO THESE COMMENTS A TRIP YO WTF
Denzel hitting almost 60, still has it. Thank God he made this sequel, cuz it wouldn't be the same.
I'll probably watch this 3 or 4 more times
This kid will go places if he keeps his humility. Mad respect to his peers who have done this before him will earn him kudos and these dudes will be more than happy to show him the ropes of the craft.
He is awesome in the Wu Tang saga series
For a man his age, Denzel looks awesome!
i just learned that he is 63 lol
@@canIhavethishandle Me too just now lol, checked the comments to see if some had given age here, and here it is gud for me ;) .
Black dont crack
No homo
I will smash
Ashton reminds of Bokeem Woodbine, who in my opinion is a very underrated Actor.
Latoya Williams he's still young
More like adibese
Facts!!!
Very underrated
Bokeem is extremely underrated. His interview on the breakfast club was good
Denzel is the greatest to ever grace the screen. You can tell Aston earned his respect and admiration
I watched the movie and Ashton really stood out for me.
Very beautiful young man and great camera presence. I think he has a big career ahead of him and wish him well
I agree I love watching him on camera his face expression are awesome
Watch him play Bobby aka (The Rza) in Wu-tang the American saga. Great actor
Gerald Cannon that shit go crazy waiting on season 2
@@geraldcannon7552 Shameik as Raekwon was also a revelation. 2 great young,black actors.
cyanide52 Shameik killed it. Peace to the GODS & EARTHS.
I can't get enough of The Equalizer. Ashton did a superb job.
This movie was sooooo good
Ashton Sanders was great in Moonlight, great to see him in other films..
Adelia Cunningham he's got talent
The retrieval is his best acting
Moonlight wasnt great. It was their literal break to get big gotta do the gay stuff..
Spiritual Jones my friend if you think moonlight was about “gay stuff”, the movie went completely over your head. Watch it again.
Blond' 1 better in wu tang
"Confidence in ur ability" is key! Great collaboration - Denzel and Ashton!
Ashton Sanders reminds me of Don Cheadle . . .a big compliment!
Woow Ashton finally had his dream come true, acting with Denzel. I am happy for him.
Ashton carries himself very well 💪🏾
The fact that Denzel inspired me to go after my dreams shows that this man has done his duty on earth
You can see two different eras sitting next to each other.
*I became huge fan of Denzel after watching his Equalizer sequel* 🔥💯💪 *Damn this guy is legend* ❤❤😍😍
He’s still in awe that he’s really sitting next to him ❤️
I love how Ashton set and listen to Denzel. Listening can makes things easy ❤️
That kid is really attentive in this interview watching Denzel’s every move
LOVE new hot talent and this young man blows it out of the water in a remarkably difficult role. It had to be believable. I'm a great grandmother and I often find myself in a mentor role. I'm pretty choosey, though if you open your mind and heart, there is always young people who will surprise you, who need guidance, like a plant wanting water. My approach is simple.....Catch people doing something right, point it out, emphasize it, praise it. If it's honest, it will hit and it will help. Also, mentors must lead by example and one of the mainstays of my method is admit when I'm wrong. Demonstrate how to apologize, how to accept an apology. In any event, fantastic movie, I love this series.
When u r under Denzel's wings, u know the sky is the limit
Ashton Sanders!!! He’s the future I’m tellin you.
I heard this plenty of times Denzel is so good he make other actors nervous on set
Well when you’ve been acting for 40 years and with TWO Academy Awards and Millions upon Millions of dollars and considered one of the greatest actors of all time and arguably the greatest actor of all time, then yeah. It would make me nervous too.
@@durriellhumphrey 😂😂😂😂😂
@Mitsi Grabblerberg who would??
I was NOT expecting him to talk like this, but it makes me love him more. He's so young though 😒
Ashton has gotten his chance to be in other films and shows and completely capitalized on those opportunities. He is truly awesome.
Either the interviewer was nervous or slightly dismissive of Ashton right in the beginning. Love the eye contact of Denzel and Ashton 0.23 to 0.25 seconds into the interview (Is like this is what I told you to be aware of).
Exactly 😂😂
FACTS!!
Yes!
0:23
Well spotted!
I was always a fan if Denzel. Great Actor man! And now, I'm a real fan of this young man. I replay his scenes man. Just to see his style. And he has a great tone. And cute to boot
I loved Ashton in Moonlight 😍🌙🌠💛
Equalizer is such a underrated movie I feel like people don't talk about it enough
Big big fan of the 2 equalizer too🙋♂️🇫🇷
Y’all reaching...how is Ashton acting awkward. Dude is jus chill
He do be chilling tho
people always reachin' smh
That hat is disturbing, that's a hat?
I kind of sense the same thing, he’s really wanting his time. I think he’s little perturbed about the interviewer focusing on Denzel a lot. I think he wanted a little more attention. But other than that he’s cool.
Shit I’d be chill like that if my ass was sitting next to a FUCKING LEGEND!!!
I won’t missed Denzel Washington movie when he act.. Always 👍 job. God bless u..
he is still awe struck sitting with Denzel!
*He wAnts 2 Learn..+*
Denzel wife don’t get enough credit for that first interview. She made that first interview happen
64 nearly and still filming fight scenes like we saw in this movie (honestly actually blew me away). denzel you are turning into charlie bronson who you starred alongside briefly with back when you where a young fella...
TE: Part III (2020)... I am waiting.
🎬 DENZEL WASHINGTON & ASHTON SANDERS two incredible actors together in movie 🎥 ☺ ♠
i’m jealous of Ashton’s voice 😭😭 but seriously he is so talented
It’s so HOT
I rewatched the red carpet thing and now this 1 year later 😆
*...thIs is what you do...if you REALLY wAnt something..+*
I will see you at work!!!
They definitely saw at work and some more interviews!!!!
I love to see this
Denzel looking at him like “Boy you high aint you? You smell like reefers!” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Like a true old head "reefers"
😂😂😂😆
🤣😂🤣😂
Lol
*:-)*
Both of these dudes seem like real genuine dudes ... Denzel is *awesome* ... Love him, and his work.
" see you at work "and look at this
Ashton is one kid that doesn't talk when adults are talking 🥰🥰🥰RESPECT black child😉😉😉 momma taught you so well
He is an adult tf the man wasn't directing the question to him soo why would he interrupt?
@@deereal985 dw some ppl don’t think, no common sense here 😂😂
Ever since the series Wu Tang Clan; I fell in love with Ashton 🤗😻
*Évery-one is in Love with Him :-)*
sanders looks intense
He’s a Scorpio
I would be too sitting next to Denzel.
No one slaps a cup like Denzel!
A friendship with Denzel would be awesome. A thinker with a sense of humor.
*X*
Awesome to see they worked together on a project especially the equalizer
Nice work Ashton. You rocked it in Equalizer.
Am I the only one that kept skipping over the video so I can hear Ashton finally speak.
Nope. I did it too. Also that voice is 🔥
Aye Itz Angieee omg me too 😂😂😂
I did it too. He has a beautiful voice.
His voice is incredibly sexy my good
@@chels4052 u get wet
I saw Equalizer 3 before I saw 2 can't wait to see Equalizer 1 I really didn't have any internet and the local theater closed up
Denzel is my FAVE actor! What I wouldn't give just to meet him! Every role he plays, he pulls you into his character without having to say a word sometimes. He is a brilliant actor and his talent flows effortlessly. You either have it or you don't and Denzel plays every role flawlessly. Did I mention I would LOVE to meet him? LOL!
Nice to see he got to actually make that movie with Denzel Washington
I would say that Ashton's performance nearly stole the movie. The role was very natural to him. He melted right into it. He was neck and neck with Denzel until the confrontation scene and Denzel put it in overdrive and left the young phenom in the dust. But this kid has awesome potential. The way he takes a character and owns it. To the point you forget he's acting. Al Pacino does the same thing. Doesn't look like he's acting. Like he's just being himself. I hope he takes care of his money and pick his roles well, so he doesn't get caught up like many actors do and up taking whatever roll is thrown at them.
*"Why me?"*
Outlaw and Denzel!
You don't know death best scene from that film gave me goosebumps
Ditto Wow yes I saw the red carpet interview too . Amazing nothing is impossible if you work hard.
0:19 they both clocked him treating Ashton like an afterthought. Love the mutual respect and acknowledgement between them.
Denzel is the goat! Time to watch The Equalizer again.
Ashton looks sooo over this interview 😭😭 I love him!
I am in tears right now. Surely dreams do come true
Great interview!
The Equalizer, both parts, are some of the best films of all times. Denzel Washington and Ashton Sanders make a great duo! “Hey, Mr. McCall! Why me?” ❤️😃
Why not you😩😩😩😭😭😭😭😥😥
Love this young brother's acting, in Moonlight he said hardly nothing but he made us feel his pain 💯to YOU
The livinh legend, denzel freakin washington
That glance Ashton and Denzel shared when the interviewer called them by their first name? Priceless! They went into professional mode.
Seemed gay to me the way he was looking at Denzel at first
@@frankwhite1009 even if it was that. So? That's what you saw? Sigh...
@@Thedaddi2000 oh you gay bul........my bad didn't mean to offend you LOL
“I’ll see you at work”
Ashton is so cute
Koko x . He is Very handsome!
He has a New movie out on Netflix! All day all Night!
JAI Banks i know I’ve seen. He is extremely talented. I just adore him he is so great. A legend in the making
@@LaurenCheyenne2 i Agree totally! I found him from that movie. ( All day all Nighy)
@@jaibanks7151 Check out Native Son! That was the first movie I saw him in and it was crazy
Denzel is cooler than Miles Davis, man, cooler than a fan.
Cool interview! My 2nd fav actor ever! My man!
He (Ashton) had a chance to work with greatness...
I wonder why they looked at each other like that at 0:21? 😄😄😂
"it's an honour to be with denzel" oh hi ashton
I came in the comments section to investigate 😂😂😂
I think he felt awkward and shy and was looking at Denzel for approval or something and Denzel tried giving him a quick smile
It was the comment the interviewer made. Came off as dismissive toward Ashton.
I'm warming up to the kid. I saw some humbleness this time.
Ashton did amazing he really stood out in this movie
I like the sense where Ashton is on the bus drawing and the girl asked what are you drawing
He says i'm drawing a superhero
The girl says what's his powers
He knows what you going to do before you going to do it
He has secret rooms
She asked does he fly
Ashton says no he actually drives a Chevy Malibu
I love all 3 movies 🎥
Dexter Lombardo 🧔🤠 👍
That kid hyped on the red carpet brought me here...
next to Denzel i don't know if i could be my all self... legend
And it's gone great for Ashton after this, with him making an appearance in the Judas & The Black Messiah movie, which he was awesome in there btw!
Equalizer 2 definitely packed with heat!
Denzel did tell him he will see him at work. It was worth it to work with Denzel.
Incredible
This movie was awesome. I need another one.
Trust me we all gonna be the same as Ashton in this interview sitting next to Denz 🤩
Work is done
He also had a brief cameo in straight out of compton on the school bus with Ice Cube
If you have seen the movie, there is a scene where Denzel asks him to go to the book case in his room and pull out the book, Native Son. It had to be an inside joke because just a year later, he started in the movie of the same title. He was phenomenal!
Also, check out his movie, "A Day and A Night".
Great actor!
What a bright young gentleman.
Makes me mad that Chadwick is gone..he bridged the gap between these 2.
I laughed when Ashton accidently smacks the boom mic at the end
Such a blessing
Yess so happy for Ashton
That “of course” 😂
The red carpet brought me here. See you at work lol Denzel meant it lool
Ashton Sounding like a young Pac before gangster rap
Cool interview
