Denzel Washington SKIPS Cannes Film Festival event following red carpet showdown with a photographer - as director Spike Lee reveals surprising reason they won't work together again


The Oscar-winning actor, 70, shocked fans the night before when he was seen pointing his finger in the face of one of the snappers during the dramatic exchange.

Highest 2 Lowest, is a remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 film High and Low, and will be released in theaters by A24 August 22 before streaming on Apple TV+ September 5. The actor, who posed for photos with Spike and A$AP Rocky, showed no signs of jet lag and was expected to fly back to New York immediately after the screening. But within hours, however, Spike himself announced the film was heading to Cannes and representatives for the festival said they had been waiting for confirmation that Denzel would attend the red carpet.
