Denzel Washington says "I don't watch movies" during 'Highest 2 Lowest' promotion event

Washington DC [US], August 28 (ANI): Actor Denzel Washington made an interesting revelation during a conversation with Highest 2 Lowest costar A$AP Rocky and film director Spike Lee.

He surprised everyone by saying, I dont watch movies, man. I really dont. Im just being honest with you. I dont watch movies, man, reported People.

The actor reiterated, I dont go to the movies. I dont watch movies, prompting A$AP Rocky to ask, Is it because you make em?

Washington replied, Probably. You know, Im tired of movies, man. After Lee asked him how many films he had made, Washington declared, Too many. I think 50, according to the outlet.

Highest 2 Lowest is Washington and Lee fifth movie together. The movie stars Washington as a music mogul who is targeted by a ransom plot that puts him in a morally compromising position.

It is a reinterpretation of the famed Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa 1963 crime thriller High and Low, but moves the setting from Tokyo to New York City.

The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May (during which Washington received an honorary Palme dOr) and was released in select theatres on Friday, August 15. It will be available on Apple TV+ starting Friday, September 5, reported People.

I dont do it for Oscars. I really dont care about that kind of stuff. Ive been at this a long time, and there times when Ive won, shouldnt have won, didnt win, should have won, Washington said during an appearance on Jake Takes earlier this month.

Man gives the award, God gives the award. Im not that interested in Oscars. People say, Well, where do you keep it? I say, Next to the other one. Im not bragging. Im just telling you how I feel about it. On my last day, it aint going to me a bit of good, he added, reported People. (ANI)
