- Jonathan Ross sits down with the legendary actor, Denzel Washington, for a candid and thought-provoking discussion covering a wide range of topics.
#JonathanRoss #DenzelWashington #Equalizer3
One of the most intriguing revelations of the interview was Mr. Washington's dedication to his craft. He opened up about his incredible physical transformation, gaining an impressive 40 pounds for his latest role in "Pelham 123." In his characteristic humor, Denzel shared, "Every wife wants their husband to be plump." It's a testament to his commitment to his roles.
Denzel also spoke highly of his co-star in "Pelham 123," John Travolta. He praised Travolta's ability to portray compelling antagonists, calling him "a good bad guy" and highlighting his sweet and genuine personality off-screen.
The conversation took a heartfelt turn when Denzel expressed his passion for sports and his dream of becoming a professional athlete. He shared, "I'm living it through my son; I'd have loved to have gone professional." This glimpse into his personal aspirations and family connection adds depth to our understanding of the acclaimed actor.

Denzel has always carried himself like a true gentleman. I can only imagine how cool a Tarantino film featuring him would be.
Well Tarantino did some script rewriting on Crimson Tide, so in a sense they've rubbed shoulders on a movie
Can you see Washington playing the caricatures Tarantino has in his films?
So that Tarantino can use the N word on him as Jimmie Dimmick(Aka the character he created for himself in Pulp Fiction) ?🙄
@@TheHonestGuy24 that one hasn't aged well and tbh was a bit in your face at the time
@@TheHonestGuy24 Seems you have an opinion that runs deeper than me giving him the due respect and admiration. Why even go there?
Now Denzel Washington is one of the few genuine STARS.
Denzel Washington, Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, Keanu Reeves. Lovely souls and great actors.
_Lovely souls_ don't champion the military.
I agree except for Jim. He’s lost it.
His woman supports him, and it's obvious. I enjoy hearing him bring her into his conversation.
Yes true man.
Every time you hear Denzel in n interview, he just oozes class
Because you've never seen him in person or been around him in person as I have he's a prima donna
"oozes" seems like the wrong word.
some creepy stuff too, living his football dream threw his son and making his wife cook every meal for him lol he seems like a control freak
Look he is a class act for sure
@@richardbrown9025 good lord man, one he's very very proud of his family, so yes you live through your child in a positive way & "making" no he loves his wife's cooking and rather have her food then a chef in his home. Creepy??
Denzel, Sam Jackson and Christoph Waltz together in a Tarantino movie. Now that's boxoffice gold and Oscar worthy !
Duh. Captain Obvious 😂
Who is Sam Jackson?
@@humanforotherhumans o_O that guy
@@humanforotherhumansSeriously?
Put Morgan Freeman in as well
"I'm not hiring a chef, I want my wife's cooking!" 🥰
And She was like, "I ain't hiring him for you, it's for me !! "
That's the sentiment my dnd party didn't have when they started paying someone to paint our minis while I was doing them for free. And then they wondered why I didn't want to paint anything anymore
Denzel has always conducted himself with grace
Denzel Washington teaches humanity about how to be a class act. Legend.
Not so classy, I was passing by his home once and I could see him trying to hang a large picture, when he accidentally hit his thumb with the hammer I heard him say a word I'm not going to repeat here. Class my ass.
@@willpeony5534 ... Oh bullshit .. The dude is a prince First Class. ..
I don't know, the ones that have zero drama or news I worry about. Sort off like Oprah, she looks all perfect but look close and she is creepy.
@@michaelschneider- You got me.
He said "Dang!".
@@willpeony5534 ... Too funny. Cheers, Vail, Colorado
He was robbed of an Oscar in "Malcolm X" and "Fences".
I agree. He was absolutely brilliant in Fences!!!!!!!!! 👍
And about 4 to 5 other films
He is so much better than the thieves who steal a man like him from themselves. Cruel but I'm sure it's much better than an Oscar even if it hurt his heart. Everyone who loves this wonderful man and actor knows why he missed out on this award. He is forever in our memories. For ever.
And Hurricane another true story
Unbelievable actor, i agree he was robbed, but can they let him everytime
Denzel Washington is 1 of the most down to earth legends alive today. Thank you Denzel 👍🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Since this was taped, Denzel’s son John David has gone on to become a major star in his own right. It must run in the family!
Remarkable male role model. Dedicated professional and family man with a strong sense of duty
@@user-zt6ll5hu3p
Just like your dad
@shashpancholi,
Exactly, he’s all of that and then some.
He’s a humanitarian. I think I’ve seen everything he’s made that was released to the public.
Denzel is the definition of pure class as it gos in Hollywood these days- 🤝
"I'm not eating anybody else's food, I'm eating my wife's food" - Denzel Washington.
🔥 🔥 🔥
This is deep on so many levels, you probably find it difficult to comprehend. The conviction behind how he made that statement is why he is a shining light in a world of darkness
thats what i call soul food, love is put in it and taste shows it
it's not deep on any level you brain donor
Oh sthu
@13:00 Quentin question. Great interview. A search shows that Denzel had an argument with Tarantino during filming of Crimson Tide in 94, calling dialogue he added racist. In 2002 Denzel apologized to him and they settled it. This interview was in 2009. By the filming of Django in 2011, Denzel’s daughter worked as an editorial PA on the set, according to him in 2012. However, the two still haven’t worked together by the time of my comment in fall of 23.
Doing gods work with the time stamp. thank you.
Been looking for this. 🙏
Thank you
Quentin is smart to not work with Denzel. I’ve worked with him on set, he’s problematic, has a temper and his ego and narcissism is always above all the rest. Just ask the original director for training day which Denzel got him fired and the Davis was the one who brought Denzel into the spot might, ask Davis if he’s a good person. He would say otherwise.
@@cameraofchaoshollywoodI don't believe that at all. I think Quentin would be honored to work with Denzel just like he said.
One of if not the best actor of all time and a great person as well. That’s a RARITY!!
When my kids asked me who my favorite actor is, I said Denzel. They said "why?" Then I showed them Man on Fire (they're not ready for Training Day yet). It convinced them. For reference, the other two actors in my top 3 are Leo and Sam Jackson. And if I had to round off a top 5, let's throw in Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks. But Denzel will always be #1 for me.
Edit: for female actresses, Meryl, Julia, Kidman, Salma, and Winslet. Not that I need put them in a separate category because of gender, I just relate more to the male actors I guess.
Sidney Poitier
@@supercededmanyea Mr. Brent
@@michiveritas1420 Training Day is way more violent, plus Eva Mendes goes full frontal, etc. And the story itself would just fly over their heads. Man on Fire is easy to digest, just has some gun violence. Fun fact while I was looking it up, Training day has 211 F-bombs, while Man on Fire has just 16. So basically a kids movie haha
@@katlis ok🙂😉
"Training Day" is one of the best films ever made
His Alonzo character is right up there beside Pacinos Tony Montana.
King Kong aint got shit on Training Day, even whit all their special effects
I thought it was the usual Hollywood crap,Malcolm x was the one he should have got the Oscar for
Man on Fire, love that movie hmm I love comeuppance movies, he was a Hammah in that one.
Yes
The title of the video is misleading - there is no confrontation. Both men are one of the world's best in their craft and are true gentlemen. The host put them on the spot a bit and they handled it extremely well. Respect!
Most times, the titles are misleading. I just clicked on it cause it's Denzel
Im all about ppls in the comments warning me about clickbait...Those guys are my heroes!!
...But in this instance, i didnt click on the video expecting 2 see any kinda drama or even awkward tension between the 2...I dont think they were going for ppls taking the word 'confrontation' literally...
No disrespect...like i said, if i could, id leave tips for ppl who save me from getting sucked in2 bs clickbait!! I just dont think it was intentional in this case..:)
Denzel is all-in on being a Husband, and it helps that he has as dedicated a wife. He and his family are a great example and inspiration, and all the more special considering the average Hollywood Star.
Denzel is so handsome and charming I try to see all his films as his acting is excellent
Very good looking here
Saw him on Broadway. Even better looking in person
Fascinating
1000 percent agree
AI?
"You don't see a U-Haul behind a hearse."
Profound.
Your last shirt has no pockets
Denzel Washington, is not only is a top talented actor, but he's a God fearing man that possesses the utmost quality of integrity. His honesty commands respect, and defines the wonderful human being that he is. He is by far one of my favorite person in the world. that's how much i respect him for what he stands for, and how he lives his life.
That's the exact same thing they said about Bill Cosby.
Didn’t he also support and clap for Will Smith after Will assaulted a man on live TV?
Why be God-fearing if God is Life, God is love? He His to be Loved, not feared!
@@stejer211 Exactly, Denzel is not what he seems.
@@franciscolinares7392 what???? lol
The most laid back I seen him in an interview. Spewing suaveness and wit
Denzel is a legend , everyone should listen to his speech at the university to the graduation students , it is the best I have ever heard !
Absolutely inspiring,that lady in in the hairdressers when he was a young man,the old woman told him he would speak to millions of ppl and be something she was Absolutely right,sometimes all we need is 1 person to believe inyou💯✌🏼🐐
Not as good as Ali G's.
This was 2009!!!!
The one where i'm crying like a baby. Is the most beautiful speech i heard. I'm french canadian so imagine if i was americain... Heart attack bip bip biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
This hasn't aged well. This was back when Hollywood insiders and mostly everyone else was still in a deep lull, having been sold by the media that Obama and the previous admins were decent. Now Denzel has opened his eyes to many things and has a much different point of view of the Obamas and how they duped much of the population. Though it would still be interesting to see Denzel portray the dark side of the administration and the former president, that he now is aware of.
A pure Gentleman in every sense of the word. An American Treasure.
Denzel is one of the greatest actors of our time!
I have never approached any celebrity for a chat or photo etc.. Denzel is the only person in the world I would approach just to have a little chat, he has this beautiful energy.
God bless him big time
How time flies...This was back in 2009 when JDW was 25 and he's 39 now... And he's a star now and had to let go of American Football...
Denzel is my favourite actor of all time. Love all his films. He comes across as a wonderful family man and a decent, repectable ,generous and kind human being. Much love and respect to him, his wife and his talented family. ❤🎉
So true, he is one of the few who seems genuine, in his entire career I’ve never seen him do anything weird
what are you clowns talking about? dude cant act! if he could he would play some (any) other role than the 1 role he plays in EVERY fucking movie hes in!
🙄
Same, I literally rewatched all his movies the last 2 weeks caused I missed his acting 😂
@@HipHop-vg7cd don't know what you missed but it couldn't have been acting because he's nit capable of it. I think you just like his butt and are afraid to admit it.
Indeed, not only is he a man of great class, he's also a man of great integrity and outstanding acting. He's KILLED IT in the "Equalizer" films. Impossible to imagine any other actor being able to pull it off like he did.
Absolutely brilliant. Denzel is a first class gentleman, human and actor!
Denzel proving right here that one cannot buy class and charisma,and he has loads
Denzel is such a class act.
I drove past Broadway in NYC in heavy traffic, I saw a crowd of a 100 plus gathered around steps going into a Broadway theater. This man stood there laughing and talking with fans. Shaking hands and just being content to spend the time. I was stuck in traffic for better then 15 minutes on that block, he was still there as I pulled off.
there will never be another Denzel, pure class, one f the best actors around and devilish good looking gentleman, Id go see him open an envelope.
Brilliant interview. Kept him close to home then slowly started to get him to unwind. Follow up with script-questions about the movie/promotion. Then, when he's feeling it, have fun with goofy, organic conversation. Relaxed and laughing together. Absolutely brilliant way to use the time and production style.
I was thinking the same thing. Well done for someone that has been interviewed a lot.
Yeah he was great with the guests it was a mystery why the bbc axed the show.
@@happyapple4269look up Sachsgate, I think that was why
@@happyapple4269 He couldn't keep up with Graham Norton's virality. The nature of Norton's show (panel style interview) makes it easy for him to create "viral moments" that they can upload and get easy views, Ross never managed to manufacture that. James Cordon copied the style for his US show, actually, which is the only reason he coasted as long as he did.
@@happyapple4269Culture and showbizz changed. Watch an interview with Lady Gaga and Ross and see what I mean. Gaga despises this white man who makes sexist jokes. Ross is exactly what modern culture despises and Norton is what they love. So artists would rather go to Norton.
A great interview, a natural and genuine conversation. The wit and laughter was awesome and I enjoyed laughing with them. Denzel is a class act!
This was 2009!!!!
@@ferise1 ok we get it, it was 2009!!
@@ferise1thanks, yeah i was wondering, as they talk about Will and Barak as such
That was the confrontation? WOW! A freaking two seconds. Thanx, that was so interesting. Not subscribing to you.
@@ferise1 How is the year of the interview relevant to you trolling VE's comment?
The charisma in this video is off the charts 😂 both of them man. Nothing but smile inducing
He was the perfect actor to portray Malcolm X. Congratulations Denzel!
Yes! AWESOME film and he shouda won an Oscar
@@mojo2679 He was the perfect age to play Malcolm when they made it. As great as a younger Denzel would've been to play Barack Obama, I think he's aged out of that role since he's older than Barack. And you'd want a younger actor to play the younger years of Barack. And I know Denzel has been in great shape in his younger years I don't think he could slim down enough to play Obama.
You can criticise Woss all you want, but note how understated he was on this one. There was a genuine connection between these two fellas...
Denzel has so much humility, he bridges gaps all on his own, without even trying! 👍👌
Denzel has always been a legend to me since I first saw him in A Soldiers Story. Excellent actor. Gorgeous man, inside & out.
I love this man! He’s just all the way around a great standup guy! I can definitely understand how his wife feels. It’s so hard with the kids grow up and you’re all alone.
Was thinking "Denzel's looking good for his age" then realised this is actually 14 years old
When HD started kicking in , it's difficult to judge when footage was recorded.
Exactly. Was lost too because I know they were together in Taking of Pelham 123
I was also confused about him not mentioning John David Washington as an actor.
Doesn’t matter it’s 14 years old. He still looks good for the time
@@siyabongakunene5052I was literally about to ask why he never mentioned John David
He’s one of a handful of actors who I can say makes every movie he’s in better!
Quentin tarantino is a one of original genius and has made some fantastic films
I love this man, he's such a class act. God bless him.
Amen
I've never seen a movie or interview with
Mr Denzel Washington that I did not enjoy or would watch multiple times.
Living & growing up between his home town of mount vernon ,N.Y and new rochelle .
It always kinda feels like I'm watching 1 of the guys from the neighborhood, guess cuz I am .
Honestly though he is an amazing human being and we're blessed to have his common sense opinions,the world would be a better place if we all lived with his love for humanity and, hey, incredible talant .
Talent* 😉
DENZEL WASHINGTON is class personified! He loves his wife and children dearly and he is a man of God... here's wishing you many years of continued success ❤🙏
Amen ❤
One of the few actors I truly believe in what he has to say.
this man in just one interaction with an interviewer said two of the smartest things ever. First he got asked who was he voting for and he said "none of your business" and the second thing was "I dont know, I'd have to do some research before I pick a definitive answer" so simple and so good
Thats because your a sheeper
Love Denzel, he and his wife look like great parents :) Fab actor.
Denzel is the class of all actors in his generation.
Great interview. The interviewer does a good job of keeping it natural, professional, and comical. Great job.
The conversation was truly fluid and natural. That’s how you interview
What an amazing man, incredible actor, loves his family and just seems like a good person!
This was 2009!!!! He’s a drunk now
Denzel gave up drinking in 2014
Did he bang your mom? Why the hate?@@ferise1
@@ferise1 and you fiddle with kids
He is one of the few that doesn't seem 'influenced' by the Hollywood life
Run away with me Denzel!!!! You are such a Class Act!!!!
Part of the reason he’s so desirable is that he would never do that.
Denzel is and has always been a class act
Denzel is a National Treasure. I have so much respect and admiration for him.
I remember watching Glory in high school in history class back in 1992 and realizing just how great of an actor that he truly is.
Denzel in a QT movie? Dialogue gone be crazy!
True!
Great and genuine conversation/interview. Not the rubbish talk shows of Fallon and Kimmel
true but he should switch sets with Fallon.. it looks ridiculous so it's perfect for Fallon
@@RavenFN😆🤣😆🤣
Denzel is literally my favorite actor. He's a super wise man as well.
Nothing like reaching back 15 years in history to tickle the algorithms.
Denzel is a class act.
Denzel, not many walking the planet better than this man! Real class.
One of our greatest actors ever.
Denzel is THE class act. His life philosophy and actions show he is a good man
Denzel is definitely one of my favorites
To be honest, I have been a fan of Denzel Washington since the early 80s, when he starred in St elsewhere the hospital drama for a black actor he is one of the finest and down-to-earth actors he comes across no bullshit no glitz and glamour. straight talking comes across a very honest man and what a great actor he is
Remember "A Soldiers Story"? His first film
For a black actor?
@@micrhymer4062 don’t try to make something out of what I’m saying but there isn’t many black actors who are good as Denzel
@@JeffreyGlover65 yes I do I was watching it the other day very good
@@JohnDoe-rn6pz isn't there none good as isn't?
Brilliant human being, I love his comments about, what ever talent you have you can't take it with you. This man is not only a brilliant actor, but a wonderful down to earth character. 🇬🇧🇹🇷🇬🇧🇹🇷
Probably the greatest ( soul moving) actor of all time
Even his kids have made something of their lives! Him and his wife must have raised them well.
You could raise your kids right and they can still ruin their lives 😂
Fantastic actor love his work❤
Such a gent. Been in the game decades and dude is still looking fresh af. One of the greats. A living legend.
So much respect to Denzel ..Legend
I rarely get sentimental and wussy, but how sincerely he meant it when he said his wife makes the best food and he won't eat any other food... that is really "dude romance" right there.
One of the best actors there is.
I love his answers. So sensible and measured.
Denzel Washington is a great actor and a gentleman combined.
That whole clip was a masterclass in etiquette from all three!
Denzel is fantastic. I love the guy. Great actor and classy person.
I like Jonathan Ross. It is refreshing to see a funny but yet intelligent conversation with the great Denzel Washington WITHOUT the forced gags of a Graham Nortonesque showman. Jonathan has earned my sub.
yep, me too
Good for you
More like Jonathon, Ross confronts Quintin Tarantino. Denzel Washington’s parts and how he plays them are just incredible, beautiful human being.
Jonathan sets his guests at ease, And he has some great guest's
He sets them up quite well to look good.
One of my top actor of all time so many great roles.
One of the true gentlemen of Hollywood 👍🏼
Denzel is My favorite Actor, he is amazing in Everything he is in, even movies I don't really like... he Rules.
I would LOVE a Tarantino film with Denzel. Could you imagine a monologue with him and Samuel L Jackson? 🤯🤯
Danzel chucked a tantrum at Quentin on a film set in the 90s. I imagine that's why they haven't worked together since
No..
sucks to be you then I'm afraid@@Sm-ne8ff
That would be a dialogue 😝
@@MissGigglesdotcom What was it over?
Great interview. Mr. Washington always keeps it's real, and it's appreciated.
Jonathan Ross is one of the greatest TV hosts of all time, no doubt about it.
I really like the interviewer will be watching more videos from him. Very down to earth and knows how to ask the right questions. It seemed to make Denzel more comfortable and made me feel like I was sitting and listening to friends talking.
❤ love all his movies he is a Blessing. Excellent actor
Such an all time great! Just love him💕
Denzel is the father I wish I always had, I have enormous respect for the manner in which he presents himself. Plus Equalizer 3 is a great movie.
Denzel, what a fantastic actor he is !
Love his movies
My favorite actor and a great human being
Great man. Just pure class.
The definition of class and grace Denzel.
Great interview with one of my favourite actors. Comes across as a genuine bloke. Him and Morgan excel in all their films.
Denzel Washington is a class act.👌🏻
