  • “It’s a full contact sport. I wanted to challenge myself. It was about trying to test my abilities, trying to grow as an artist.” John David Washington discusses the difference between acting on camera and acting on Broadway in “The Piano Lesson,” his experience working with legends Samuel L. Jackson and director LaTanya Richardson Jackson, and whether he believes in ghosts. #DailyShow #Comedy

    This man stands ten toes down on his own and is absolutely amazing. Sometimes I hear his dad's voice when he's talking, but before I knew that Denzel was his father, I could tell that he was going to be great

    For a while, I felt like John David Washington had what I call "Janet Jackson Syndrome." She went through something similar trying to break free of a famous family member and proving she is phenomenal on her own. Both of you never needed to do that because straight out the gate, you proved you were a talented and amazing force All On Your Own!!! And I'm proud of you!

    I closed my eyes for a moment to hear his father's voice speaking. It's fascinating how much younger he looks without the beard. He definitely inherited his father's talent and passion for acting. Tenet was an intriguing movie and his role in the Netflix movie drama Malcolm & Marie played with Zendaya was quite iconic.

And I was blown away! Over my decades watching celebrities' interviews, I can only remember 2 others giving credits to their wives. And he does look like his mother Pauletta, & what a beautiful smile too.

    I didn't believe in ghosts until my bed ridden grandmother started talking about all the things I was doing on the other side of the property Far from her line of sight because the "little boy told her" who didn't exist. Then it was certified when, after she passed, I watched the kitchen clock Lift Up Off the nail and flew across the room. My mother was in the room with me, we both watched it happen, so I KNOW I'm not crazy. But yeah, to this day I still don't really know what to think about that.

    That voice...the way he says "on" and pronounces all the "n"'s like a Frenchman. That's Denzel, right there 😀😀

    John David Washington parents Pauletta & Denzel are both actors on stage, film,& tv. When acting is truly your art & craft you have to perform on stage!
