John David Washington - Re-Examining Inheritance & “The Piano Lesson” | The Daily Show

[@ladykeez319]

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

[@nicolesmith5396]

I thought the same thing! I was like I recognize that voice…kinda….where…OH! Duh 🤣

[@pimpportal]

Sure .. stands on his own .. right

[@kwekswilliams6884]

I agree.i was literally gonna comment half of all you're saying

[@katherinerichardson9705]

If you closed your eyes you'd swear you were listening to his father. And he's got Denzel's smile. Much success to his amazing talent

[@1polyron1]

I don't hear it

[@veewee3706]

He’s incredibly talented. It’s a little strange though that I hear his father’s voice at times when he speaks. Genetics are amazing. I didn’t know that a voice tone could be so similar in father and son. 🤯

[@owenkariuki4438]

He was amazing in Tenet and Malcolm and Marie. What a wonderful man.

[@em0_tion]

He's even better in Ballers. 😜

[@ChrisTallant]

This was amazing, like watching two friends sitting down and simply talking about what's been happening during their times apart. Love the energy.

[@monakaye.]

John David Washington is an amazing actor. But my goodness if you closed your eyes and just listen to his voice. He sounds just like his father 😯🥰🙏🏾

[@jaymill531]

He would hate me saying this probably but he sounds just like his Dad. But his acting sets him apart. Loving how he is traversing the acting world.

[@tamara40]

Yeah 🤣 true 🤞

[@austinc5456]

Yep I thought the same

[@Its_Mechele]

He sounds like his dad and looks like his mom 😂

[@desiredsolutionz3536]

He is amazing. He sounds so much like his dad. And looks like his beautiful mother🥰🥰💞💞

[@DebraJohnsondone]

Love this. He does sound just like his dad❤️❤️

[@oliviatheresa]

Denzel Washington should be very proud of him! I'm not a fan of all his movies but I do recognize he is a huge talent and I respect him for trying to perfect his craft.

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

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!

[@RP.123]

I love this comment so true! I just saw this play on Broadway and he was phenomenal. And I’m a long time Janet Jackson fan. She’s super talented.

[@harperproduction3935]

Will never forget watching Denzel Washington almost 10years ago correcting someone who was brown nosing. He said my children are a testament of my wife or something along those line. 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.

[@Luvie1980]

He sounds just like his father!

[@JustTheToyStuff]

He does! Lol

[@1nhonho]

It's insane!

[@BigDustyDroidChannel]

I was thinking the same thing

[@JustJerry-x8n]

I was scrolling through the comments for this type of comment😂😂

[@spencophany]

Yet he tried to dissociate himself from his father and try to establish himself as a totally separate entity. Own it dude - u Denzil’s son.

[@aliciahickman9490]

Gorgeous, talented man! He looks just like his mother and his voice sounds like his father.

[@rafeeqwarfield9690]

Not to mention the laugh

[@blackifiok]

Trevor has the perfect description of Tenet. The first watch was for entertainment, the 2nd watch was to understand the movie. We all watched it twice or more. Great movie!

[@MrCvjalexander]

John David is the only actor who could have been recast as Ta’ Chala, in my humble opinion. Think of it. The kid of the man who mentored Boseman takes up the BP mantle. I really love his work and I definitely hope to see his performance in the play.

[@christinefranklin9878]

I would totally agree 1000%.

[@Kamala_b]

Agree with you 2000%!

[@ommiohmy]

He would make an amazing recast!!

[@vb8428]

Nah, he's getting big roles without the superhero fanbase toxicity

[@Kamala_b]

[@sgarrita2561]

He is so talented! He was amazing in Blackkklansman

[@larrymarshall8900]

He's best role doesn't look like his father but he has his voice. I hope one day they can stop comparing him to his father cause he has to be his own man not just Denzel's son.

[@nkululekonazo5755]

Yes indeed I started falling in love with him on Spike Lee's Black Klan's man.

[@ndo533]

​​@@larrymarshall8900 he has his fathers face but his mothers eyes.

I finally, see Denzel in his son. He have been sounding, like him. It must be the removal of the Beird.

[@1960pyl]

JD, yep

[@istdochallesegal3427]

Trevor conducted yet another phenomenal interview! I wasn't aware of this very talented lad but now look forward to seeing him follow - and go well beyond - Daddy Denzel's amazing footsteps!!

[@petulasharonengelbrecht2725]

That is so true 👌

[@deewynn]

His Mom is famous and talented also! Make sure you check out her work too.

[@rosalindrhodes5303]

My first Broadway show and it was fabulous. I traveled from Detroit with a group of friends to see this. I want to see this over and over. John David, I hear the tone of your dad's voice but I see you!!! You are definitely blazing a trail!!! Continued success to you!!!

[@rafeeqwarfield9690]

This is where Trevor excels

[@cerealkiillar]

I LOVE seeing--and hearing--his father in him. John David has unique brilliance and artistry--his own--but he will always be the very definition of royal lineage in Theater. He is an unsurpassed gift.

[@clarngundu6272]

Awww you should write movie reviews you put it so eloquently. I couldn't have said it better myself l👏 👏 🙌

[@lindav1189]

Wow, the story sounds amazing. I love his family. They are dedicated to each other, that's beautiful. I know his parents are very proud

[@harperproduction3935]

I know, right?

[@StewChicken42]

Soon as he made the first SOUND out of his mouth, I was taken back to that absolutely fantastic (and horrible, horrifying) movie - Blackkklansman. Loved that movie. Great introduction to JDW as an actor. 👍🏽

[@bizness-as-usual-58]

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.

[@She17pj]

Looks just like his Mom & sounds just like his Dad. He is so very gifted, not to mention his hair looks great like this. ♥️♥️

[@JeanetteMoseneke]

He is incredibly talented...and I see a little bit of his dad in him mannerisms 😊

[@drislady]

Phenomenal interview Trevor Noah! John David Washington is a very talented actor. I’m sure that Denzel Washington and his wife Pauletta Washington are very proud of him. 👏

[@lindawilliams8715]

Jon David Washington a well educated grad of Morehouse U and it shows! I hope the play will come to L.A. with the present cast so we can see and enjoy it. We wish this Mr. Washington the best in his long career.

He has soo many characteristics of his dad but he is and has definitely come into his own! He has such great energy!! I think I'm in love lol

[@Bridget2460]

I’m certain that as John David Washington craves his our road to success and hoarding his craft having to be told he sounds like his father so often must be grueling at times. Particularly for a man wanting to be his own man. John, love you for your extraordinary talent.

[@xandercayne6332]

That Ricky role in Ballers👌😘. I started Googling the guy and his project's since... Phenomenal!

I put my phone down and ran back cuz I was like “Denzel?” I forget that’s his son.

[@AviMarie21]

Right lol me too!!!!

[@kennethbrooks8505]

So many things I took from this interview. Trevor is a master at this craft. JDW is a beauty. Take that as you will. He is shades of his father however he is also his own man. And...what would a film with Denzel, Jr. and John David look like?

[@cloyehamrick6282]

A perfect mix of Mom and Dad.

[@crystala4058]

He's just so beautiful to me... I just love Mr John David Washington

[@DefileOdds]

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.
