Denzel sitting back for a majority of the interview letting Rich have his moment says a lot about him for real

[@j.o.y_aliba]

I noticed that too!!

[@taurusjohnson1682]

Denzel truly is one of the few actors who really don’t seem to display any narcissistic traits at all.

[@leelanyenwoe7321]

@taurusjohnson1682, what do you mean??? You’re using the wrong adjective for the wrong interview or moment??? Do your really know the meaning or traits of an narcissistic??? You need to know the definition of a word before using it

[@robinlynn5686]

Denzel is the godfather that everyone needs. Rich Paul is an extraordinary person. Great job at overcoming ur childhood

[@cousinchris5851]

Rich Paul is living the dream. He deserves it. That man works extremely hard. Small guy is a giant amongst legends. Respect

Definitely purchasing this book. Looking forward to hearing his story. Also loved Denzel’s honesty. “ I wasn’t here because I wasn’t asked.” Hahahaha 😂😂😂 love himmm!!

[@sipnog3528]

Didn't he say "im not doing it for everybody. Im not asked first of all" Which I interpreted as "nobody asks me" , but in a joking manner. 🤷‍♀️

Rich Paul ism, "If you ain't got no haters, you ain't popping." Now every agent is going to become like him. However, his Dad taught him to be 2 steps ahead. And so he will always be a WINNER. I ❤him and Adele together I hope they have a lifetime of love, happiness 😂😂😂 and joy.

I never knew rich Paul, but I like him now

many of us remember him from Lebron's highschool days .. there were even times during a few interviews, Rich Paul stood beside Lebron along with Lebron's FabFive teammates .. their journey was well worth watching .. 👍

[@wealthyaccent3616]

Dreams come from imagination. Well done Rich

[@chezzehead]

Glad to see the collaboration between the two. 😊☮💜💫✝️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾Two great men. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@BrotherEDEN]

This is the longest D has ever sat without the interview being about him. He's not a man to take a second chair to many ... for any reason. It's a major show of respect for him to be 'still' like that.

[@midnightspacepirate2553]

I'm sorry, it's hard to listen to what Rich Paul is saying cause sitting right next to him is one of the most legendary, most iconic actors of this generation.

i read that book in-1-day (it's only about 250 pages) it was high priced AND well worth it ..

Rich Paul has Adele as a fiance and LeBron as a close friend and business partner, so he is definitely winning at life.

*BOYS & GIRLS Clubs of America, also inspired Lebron* Lebron telecast THE DECISION from a Boys & Girls Club in which Lebron gave them proceeds from that broadcast. (3-4 million, to 59 boys & girl clubs, in 7 different cities) .. Lebron's donations included: cash contrubutions .. new computers & learning centers .. new furniture .. heating & cooling systems .. fitness facilities .. sports training .. new gym floors & bleachers .. sports gear/apparel *Denzel Washington presented Lebron with the Champions of Youth award* (back then)

Because he black,maybe he actually a good dude,the sex probably fire and Adele is happy that's what matters

[@whatreallymatters571]

I mean when you get to know both of their personalities, they don't seem that weird together at all. I mean watch some Adele interviews, she is clearly a very intelligent and open minded person who is in love with love and has a lot to give as well. I actually feel like he is super calm and tame and they actually seem to suit each other perfectly. Looks wise, they are pretty much on par with each other, he is also very successful in his own right. Look beyond the physical and you'll see they are pretty well meshed and even with looks they aren't that impossible.

She lost weight naturally and besides maybe some small lip injections (that are only noticeable because of her habit of rubbing her lips together) she looks exactly the same as she did when she first came out, just older.

[@royaldiadem762]

I love that Denzel has made himself available to the Black men and boys we don’t even know yet. That must really be a confidence booster. We’d never heard of a Chadwick Boseman, but when we did, we found out Denzel paid for his education. I’m sure he didn’t stop with Chadwick. 🤎
