DENZEL WASHINGTON – 68 YEARS OLD

Denzel Washington is famously known for being an actor who can “reconfigure the concept of classic movie stardom.” This is probably because of the roles he has been portraying with dignity, humanity, grace, and inner strength– these things mark Washington’s parts and movies to some degree. With this, his incredible talent never goes unnoticed. Denzel Washington is a receiver of different accolades, from the Golden Globe Award to a Tony Award, among others. He also directed the movie Fences, with Viola Davis, based on August Wilson’s play of the same title. Its script came from Wilson himself.

At 65, Washington has yet to retire from the entertainment industry. In 2017, he made the legal drama Roman J. Israel, Esq.
