Denzel Washington Says His 4 Kids Are His Proudest Accomplishment: 'What More Can You Ask For?'


Denzel Washington is a dad to John David, 40, Katia, 37, and twins Malcolm and Olivia, 33, whom he shares with wife Pauletta Washington. The actor revealed that his four children are his proudest accomplishment.

The Training Day star is a dad to John David, 40, Katia, 37, and twins Malcolm and Olivia, 33, whom he shares with wife Pauletta Washington. When discussing the milestone, the proud dad of four told Esquire that he was "supposed to be one of the producers," but the kids didn't end up needing his guidance.
