He was popular in a lot of black movies but after Malcolm X he started doing bigger films with bigger A List White Actors. Which brought on the controversy of him not kissing white women in his early career cause of his large black women fan base. etc etc. One of his big lead male roles was with Julia Roberts in 1993 Pelican Brief when he refused to kiss her lol.

Watching Malcolm and Marie made wonder is the story about Denzel and Pauletta in early years of their acting careers.🤔 Great movie! I can tell he has a good heart to love someone because he's careful about who he's trusting his heart with. I pray that God sends him a woman who humbly love him unconditionally. ❤🙏🏽 He's my #1 actor on the black and brown men list. I would love to see him do some Broadway shows.

    The thing is that in the black community, Denzel Washington was popular long before he did Malcolm X. We had started taking note of him nearly a decade before he did that role. I remember watching Soldier's Story and sisters were so excited to see Denzel. They would roll on the ground for the man, "He is soooo fine!!!" they would chant and giggle. Before there was internet and social media, there were just people and word of mouth. We all knew back then that he was going to be the one.

    I didn't know he was DW son until I watched Tenet and looked him up after the movie. I didn't get the feeling he was DZ son because he has his own style and that is a good thing. It was nice watching the movie and not comparing him to his dad or any character his dad played, and that was the evidence that he's his own man.

    I don’t see Denzel when I look at him. I didn’t even know he was Denzel’s son until a week ago, and he doesn’t look like him. I wish him well, he has a lot of talent. It’s. Ice to see this young man want to earn his own success and not just inherit money from his parents. I haven’t seen Tenant yet, but I will watch it tonight. I just bought the ultraviolet code on Vudu.

    He has been blessed with great genes from his talented mom and dad. Saw Black Klansman and knew who he was. Excellent performance. He speaks with such great humility just like his dad did in the beginning which shows how well he was raised by 2 wonderful parents as role models. He will achieve his goals just like his famous father who the NY TIMES calls the greatest actor of the 21st century!

    For sure, John David is definitely not just Denzel's son. He is a wonderful actor in his own right. Because of his beard, I didn't see the resemblance to Denzel initially. All I saw was this new, really handsome, really good actor. By the time the movie Tenet was released, I was aware of the relationship and could see how he moves (walks) just like his father as well as the resemblance and timbre of his voice. He actually looks like both of his parents rather than looking more like one than the other.

    One day, more people will learn how to table their expectations for others , and allow them to be the individuals they strive to be, rather than what they expect them to be. JD was determined not to let others put him in that box , and it's paying off. He SHOULDN'T have had to do that; he and his father are different people, and he wasn't raised to be the second coming of Denzel. Glad that more folks are realizing this, but, sad, that he had to do some things a certain way to get them...us...to realize it.
