Hey there, Celebs NoteBook aficionados! Once again it’s Jack Smith and today, we’re shining the spotlight on the legendary Denzel Washington, the American actor, producer, and director who is a true Hollywood icon.
Denzel got a trophy shelf full of awards, including two Academy Awards, three Golden Globes, a Tony Award, and two Silver Bears. He kicked off his acting journey in the 80s with TV films and miniseries but burst onto the big screen with Cry Freedom (1987), earning his first Golden Globe nomination.
The 90s were Denzel’s playground with hits like Malcolm X (1992), Philadelphia (1993), Crimson Tide (1995), and Courage Under Fire (1996). And the greatness didn’t stop there. He wowed us in the 2000s and 2010s with Remember the Titans (2000), Man on Fire (2004), and Fences (2016), which he also directed.
Now, let us start talking about his power moves off screen. Denzel is not just a stellar actor, he is a savvy businessman, investing in hotels, restaurants, and sports teams. Plus a big hearted philanthropist, donating millions to various charities.
