Denzel Washington joined GQ for a video interview with his “Highest 2 Lowest” director Spike Lee and co-star A$AP Rocky and made the surprising revelation that he no longer watches movies. The two-time Oscar winner admitted it may be because he’s just made too many of them. Washington has well over 40 film credits under his belt after starting his career in 1981’s “Carbon Copy.”
“I don’t watch movies, man. I really don’t,” Washington said. “I’m just being honest with you! I don’t watch movies! I don’t go to the movies. I don’t watch movies. … I’m tired of movies. Yeah.”
When Lee asked Washington how many movies he’s made, the actor responded: “Too many. I think 50!”
“Highest 2 Lowest” marks the fifth collaboration between Washington and Lee following “Mo’ Better Blues” (1990), “Malcolm X” (1992), “He Got Game” (1998) and “Inside Man” (2006). Washington was nominated for the best actor Oscar for “Malcolm X,” an award Lee maintains Washington should’ve won. Not that Washington strives for awards. He went viral earlier this summer for saying no acting decision he makes in his career has to do with winning awards.
“I don’t do it for Oscars. I don’t care about that kind of stuff,” Washington said on the “Jake’s Takes” podcast. “I’ve been at this a long time, and there’s time when I won and shouldn’t have won and then didn’t win and should’ve won. Man gives the award. God gives the reward.”
Washington continued, “I’m not that interested in Oscars. People ask me, ‘Where do I keep it?’ Well, next to the other one. I’m not bragging! Just telling you how I feel about it. On my last day, [Oscars] aren’t going to do me a bit of good.”
“Highest 2 Lowest” is now playing in select theaters and becomes available to stream on Apple TV+ starting Sept. 5. Watch Washington’s full GQ video interview with Lee and A$AP in the video below.
