>While discussing his latest film, “Highest 2 Lowest,” with Complex News, the actor posed the question, “What does that mean — to be canceled?” when asked if he ever worries about being “canceled.”
>When told by the interviewer, Jillian Hardeman-Webb, “it means you lose public support,” Washington replied, “Who cares?”
>Sitting with frequent collaborator and “Highest 2 Lowest” director Spike Lee, Washington continued, “What made public support so important to begin with?”
>Hardeman-Webb replied that “followers now are currency,” to which Washington answered with a emboldened response.
>“I don’t care who’s following who,” he said. “You can’t lead and follow at the same time, and you can’t follow and lead at the same time. I don’t follow anybody. I follow the heavenly spirit. I follow God, I don’t follow man. I have faith in God. I have hope in man, but look around, it ain’t working out so well.”
>He added, “You can’t be canceled if you haven’t signed up. Don’t sign up.” While laughing and stretching his arms, he told Lee, “Don’t get me started. You know, chest is getting tight talking about it.”
>Having a similar attitude, Lee added, “I could care less.”
What a weird question.
I seriously want to know what behavior does he consider “cancelled culture” for one he has never been in any controversy, he has never been accused of assaulting anyone, or just being outwardly terrible, what does he think people are being “cancelled for” this is a bit delusional to me..
Should there not be consequences for terrible actions?
Denzel is one of my favorite humans, partially because of his take here, but mainly because his whole catalog of work is excellent, and he as a human – and a conservative one by most accounts – a genuinely real and good person. I’m a lib, he’s not, and Flight is still one of my favorite movies, as is Training Day, all the Equilizers, Fences, etc etc.
Man is 70 years old, idk why they are coming at him with that
This is the EXACT kind of answer one would expect from a man of his years and where he came up from. He replied to nonsense with sense and shut it down.
