Denzel Washington Says People “Better Realize You’re Being Manipulated by Both” Political Sides


The Oscar winner also admits that he "made some real clunkers" in the '90s following 1992's 'Malcolm X.'

The two-time Oscar-winning actor, who stars in Ridley Scott’s upcoming Gladiator II, was recently asked about the 2024 presidential election, which saw Donald Trump defeat Kamala Harris earlier this month. “I think we, as Americans, need to unite and to hold all of our elected officials’ feet to the fire as it relates to working together,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2017, during which Trump was serving his first term as president. While the actor didn’t specify which of his films he considered “clunkers,” some of the movies he starred in during that decade included Crimson Tide, Virtuosity,Much Ado About Nothing, He Got Game, The Pelican Brief, Devil in a Blue Dress, The Preacher’s Wife, Fallen and The Bone Collector, among others.
