Katie Couric recalls and ‘Uncomfortable’ interview with Denzel Washington

[surfermedley]

Just so we're clear...

Katie Couric referred to Denzel Washington as "Holywood folk."

Denzel Washington responded " I'm not a Hollywood folk. I don't know who they are. I'm a human being. My job is acting."

Couric: He "jumped all over me."https://t.co/GvvPN7pz0y

For a long time I bought Denzel’s act that he didn’t really care about the industry that much, but then he did an interview where he said he was never friends with any white actors and his publicist “clarified” that actually, he’s friends with Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks and MEL GIBSON!

Yawn. White folk love to use that word "uncomfortable" around black people. You aint shit Karen.

[poisoned_summer]

yeah i don't know why he makes things purposely difficult for interviewers. they're there so you can promote YOUR movie, dude

[trekkiepetrelli]

exactly???
why become an actor if you're not prepared to do this shit i'm sorry, ppl who are like "actors shouldn't have to put up with this" it's literally part of their job, they have to sell the film they're in it's part of the process, acting and marketing/selling

every single actor who tries to do the "i'm just a lowkey, shy guy who doesn't mingle with the industry" schtick is a regular at chateau marmont, never misses a party at the studio execs and billionaire financiers houses and is bffs with every asshole in the industry.

people love to buy the idea that their fave is not like the rest so they keep giving these tired ass quotes

Or maybe you were wrong katie and should reflect on what you did to insult him?

[justrachna]

Lol to the idiot who down voted this. I am assuming you’re white if you don’t see this for the white condescension it is

[vivalakeyana]

Bloop!

I mean, he's notoriously prickly so I can believe it was awkward, but also, isn't your job to interview people? I can't believe this nothing anecdote is anywhere near the most uncomfortable interview she's conducted.
