**Los Angeles, CA** – Renowned actor Denzel Washington is known for his impressive filmography, spanning critically acclaimed dramas to blockbuster hits. While he often avoids revisiting his own work, one film stands out as an exception: “Glory” (1989), which he watched with his son John David Washington.
Despite his immense success and countless awards, Washington prefers to focus on the future. He told RSNG, “I’m interested in the choosing, I’m interested in finding the character, I’m interested in the process. I’m interested in my next one. Never look back.”
However, when John David, who is also an actor, became obsessed with “Glory,” Washington made an exception. John David, according to Washington, “knows every line by heart, he can recite the entire story.”
While Washington doesn’t consider himself a film buff, he acknowledges his wife’s passion for cinema, which may have influenced his children’s career choices. Two of his children are actors, one is a producer, and one is a director.
Interestingly, Washington’s own passion for filmmaking has led him to watch more movies when preparing to direct, as seen with his upcoming film “Journal for Jordan.” He explained, “I like film, and I watch more film leading up to when I’m directing than any other time, because I’m studying.”
John David, who has witnessed his father’s career unfold, considers Washington’s performance in “Malcolm X” as his favorite. This sentiment echoes the appreciation many have for Washington’s powerful portrayal of historical figures.
Denzel Washington’s reluctance to revisit his own films is a testament to his focus on the present and future. However, his willingness to indulge his son’s love for “Glory” highlights his deep connection with his family and the lasting impact of his work.
