Denzel Washington gets in a heated exchange with a fan in viral clip
Autograph seeker GTVReality shared a video on Instagram, detailing his tense verbal fight with Denzel Washington, which concluded with a stern warning from the two-time Oscar winner. The exchange began when the autograph-seeker approached the 70-year-old, who was sitting in a black car. The latter told the former to “get away” from him. Surprised, the latter asked, “Just like that?”
The autograph seeker then remarked, “It’s better when you’re drinking, Mr. Washington,” to which The Equalizer star responded that he had not drunk alcohol in 15 years. GTVReality did not believe Washington, claiming the latter told “a good lie.” He added, “Seriously, that’s messed up, bro.”
GTVReality tried to lighten the mood by telling the acclaimed actor that Malcolm X was his favorite film, which he saw with his mother while growing up. However, Washington appeared to ignor GTVReality’s compliment and changed the subject, asking the latter if he believed in God.
“Of course I believe in God,” GTV Reality responded. “That’s why I wake up every morning and come out and hustle, not hurt nobody.” The autograph seeker followed Washington’s car as it drove ahead, stopping simultaneously with it. He asked the latter the same question and pleaded for an autograph, saying, “It takes two seconds to help a brother out.”
The Gladiator II actor signaled the autograph seeker to come to the door. The former showed the latter an image on his phone showing a pair of eyes against clouds. Washington asked the fan who he thought it was, to which the latter replied, “It’s God.”
Washington asked the fan who he thought took the picture and described an experience he had while praying. He said, “I was praying to God. I couldn’t see your face. Everybody says they can see your face. I heard, ‘Turn to your left.’ That’s what I saw.”
The actor told GTVReality, “You can play games with me,” with the latter interrupting, “But you can’t play with Him.” Washington subsequently warned the fan to “be careful” when talking to him about God.
