Denzel Washington Appears to Fight Back Against Pushy Cannes Photographer and Yells ‘Stop!’ During Tense Red Carpet Moment
Denzel Washington appeared to scream at a photographer on the red carpet for "Highest 2 Lowest" at the Cannes Film Festival.
Things seemingly got tense between Denzel Washington and a pushy photographer on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet for Spike Lee’s “Highest 2 Lowest.” The actor headlines the movie, his fifth collaboration with Lee, and appeared at Cannes for the first time since 1993’s “Much Ado About Nothing” brought him to the festival. Cannes festival director Thierry Fremaux also introduced a montage of Washington’s films — including “Malcolm X” and “Mo Better Blues,” both directed by Lee — as well as his Oscar-winning performances in “Glory” and “Training Day.” The movie earned a 5.5-minute standing ovation and was praised by Variety ‘s critic Peter Debruge, who wrote in his review: “It’s a film whose sensational third act more than justifies what might have seemed an unnecessary update.”
