Denzel Washington Talks Gladiator 2, Nigeria and NOT Retiring

[@marlenad3170]

I have to give this interviewer credit. This was not a boring interview. She used her time effectively and asked the right questions, whilst delivering enough compliments and holding Denzels interest.

[@MichaelBohemian]

He gave her a good interview. Something to push her career further.

[@yawaokaidja2262]

Absolutely love Miss Clementine Orange 🍊. She's a class act, restoring the respect in research and media 👏🏾

Denzel with the insight. We have to give the interviewer credit for this beautiful moment. She has this confident composure. Being respectful enough to understand Denzel's greatness but not being intimidated to hold back the questions. Well done.

[@stepdi]

Glad to know you noticed that too.

She’s also asking really good questions and she comes off quite sincere . It’s easier to engage with an interviewer like that

Brilliant interview well done , we got to experience so much of his personality cos she was so endearing

The young lady (in her clementine attire) did a fantastic job in setting the atmosphere and retrieving the responses she did from an actor who ordinarily [seemingly] finds press junkets arduous work. 🎉👏🏾

​@Nazhussain07, that's an interesting take. How did you come to this conclusion...well you did say probably which may imply it's not factual. Interesting take though.

[@Deenique16]

All his interviews for this press tour are great

You must not be familiar with him. He’s always happy and animated. 🇺🇸

[@strik78er]

Seeing Denzel now makes me more conscious about the reality of aging.....it is real!!!!

[@thetalentof]

He kind of stayed the same for a huge chunk of time until I saw him in 'Equalizer 2' when I first started to notice he was aging (but still looking good obviously). His prime 'Denzel' look that people tend to think of was from 'Crimson Tide' through to 'The Magnificent Seven,' all of which he looks a billion dollars.

[@CayneRed]

@4:28 reminds me of, "I'm leaving with something" - Denzel 😁

[@marotncha8675]

That act of adjusting your agbada is not just Nigerian/Yoruba alone. It's instinctive for anyone wearing one of those. If it feels/appears out of sorts, you instinctively move to adjust it, without even thinking about it. And it is a common attire throughout west Africa. Not just Nigeria alone.

[@BLACKMENOWENOBODY]

❤

[@lolaadesina5362]

Fact that she's African doesn't mean she knows what all other Africans do with their 'agbada'. She's speaking from her own experience.

[@gothgod10]

I love this girl she’s an amazing interviewer

[@TobennaEkweanya]

Yes... You are from somewhere. 😊 You're actually my uncle from Nigeria 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@victorylapp]

1:06 NOT only Yoruba’s adjust their agbada that way . All Nigerian tribes wear agbada , Hausa , Yoruba , Igbo etc and everyone adjust their agbada when it slips from the shoulder

[@TheLightLeader]

True... Mind you Yoruba made it unapologetically cool... Some may even say we wear our Agbada to the office in New York 😂😂😂

Denzel said that he Is working on a new character and you didn't ask to him in what film?!?

[@ObiesieMaduegbuna]

Character*

[@TheMyssLK]

He said a couple of things: 1) Broadway 2) Othello - Dir. Steve McQueen 3) If Green Lit by Marvel (not yet): Black Panther 3 - Dir. Ryan Coogler

[@thefacelessquestion3333]

​@@TheMyssLK Something about a slave from Mauritania...

[@sscpiero2013]

​@@TheMyssLKyes, but in this interview he speak about something else

[@mbembaleba]

I'm pretty sure it's "Hannibal Barca" directed by Antoine Fuqua...

[@NMAttitudeChannel]

So inspiring 🙂 Thanks

[@sun_ife]

That is why it's important to hear people speak for themselves and not run along with reported speeches and media headlines. I came across several blog posts and news feeds on different platforms on how Denzel is going to be in Black Panter and the retirement gists. Only for him to clear the air on how he never said any of those. 👌🏽

[@Kundaaii23]

“The wages of sin is death” for training day is gold 👏🏿

[@TheK9class]

Sandals? Denzel: “I’m from around the way! I’m leaving here with something.”

[@calinasantos5290]

What I learned for the movie flight was haters win and GREATNESS when fought in a Black man, will be put in a cage anyway (rather than be acknowledged for what they achieve that could not be replicated) even when it has the power to save more lives. That man should have been given money, rehab treatment and then studied to see why he was SO DAMN GOOD at flying planes! I don't care what NO ONE says that was a movie about HATERS!

[@3ama4life]

No it wasn't. He as he put it "betrayed the public's trust" by being reckless on the job. Accountability was necessary. They can learn from him and do all that other stuff also but not without accountability

[@e.r.5329]

This interviewer!🎉

[@Frank-ii2ug]

When he said he took the sandals home from the set, she missed the opportunity to tell him "You were leaving with something"

She's going places!!!!!!!

[@AYellowSun]

She was on point and could roll with a lose Denzel. Some aren't that quick.

[@seanmyers8380]

This was a very interesting interview. I think Denzel was more than happy to participate and let his guard down, feeling relaxed for a change because no one was trying to trap him or corner him into some awkward discussion about controversial topics and woke agenda. To be honest, the interview asked really ordinary questions-nothing in-depth-but because the spirit and atmosphere were right, it turned out to be an amazing conversation.
