Denzel Washington hints at retirement from acting...
From Variety
Is Denzel Washington nearing an acting retirement from the big screen? In a new interview with Empire magazine to promote his role in Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator 2,” the two-time Oscar winner admitted the upcoming swords-and-sandals epic was one of the few movies left to make that still interested him. How many more of these roles exist Washington did not reveal.
“There are very few films left for me to make that I’m interested in, and I have to be inspired by the filmmaker, and I was tremendously inspired by Ridley,” Washington said about agreeing to star in the “Gladiator” sequel.
It helped that Washington already had a great rapport with Scott from their time making 2007’s “American Gangster” together. The actor said: “We had a great go-round the first go-round and here we are. He’s engaged. He’s excited about life and his next film. He’s an inspiration. We should all want to feel like that at 86.”

It was a good run DW.
Definitely need to quit the eqaualizer. Tha a$$ kicking he do ain’t believable.
End on your peak. Maybe it’ll start to get sad seeing him grow older?
He has nothing left to prove. Enjoy your final years.
He's passing the torch to his non-acting son and his directing son. Aint mad at that. He can age gracefully and come back in 10 years with his fine self, but not looking like that horrible picture Snitch decided to use.
Equalizer 3 was epic.
He let his self-go. Hit the gym and get rid of the pot belly. You still go some more years left in you.
Denzel Washington at 69 years old doesn’t have anything left to prove. He has a legacy of box office hits that are incomparable, incredible performances. Many of which can be still watched repeatedly and bring a feeling that it’s your 1st time seeing them.
He gives respect to his peers and stands on integrity in that crazy industry. He can let himself go and all of his peers will hold him in high honor. No history of drug, slander, infidelity & scandals. Not without people trying to smear his name, though. Salute to Mr. Washington!
^^^You were right on until you said no history of infidelity. I had to chuckle at that one. Denzel admitted as much on a "60 Minutes" interview 30 years ago.
@9:40am-AHT-AHT, Don't be bad mouthing Denzel!!! Don't' bad mouth Barak, Michelle, or Queen Latifah either. Snitch, I want to report 9:40am as SPAM!!!
Not all his movies were hits and if you want longevity and not play old men, keep it tight (for health reasons). Just because you get older don't mean you have to let yourself go.
Iont care WHAT yall talkum bout in these comments. Denzel looks GOODT AF in that Gladiator movie with that salt & pepper Cesar haircut. TF?
