Denzel Washington has been instrumental in so many careers to no credit…That’s how paying it forward should be, he is generous & selfless💞

@steelbat54 2 года назад

Yes, I believe this about, Denzel. I’ve always viewed him as a man of impeccable integrity and character. Something unfortunately that is lost on a lot of our society today..

@lakeozarkrei3767 2 года назад

I've heard people give him a LOT of much deserved credit for helping their careers... behind the scenes as well as publicly.

@coventryterrier5751 2 года назад

If Austin Butler stays grounded then I think he might become one of the biggest actors in the business going forward. If Denzel Washington praises you in that manner, you know you have what it takes.

@nikitamohanan2124 2 года назад

Hopefully he surrounds himself with the right people and team and makes the right decisions. That's key at this point. Will be shocked if he doesn't blow up after Elvis and Dune 2 next year. We might hear him begging a few more coveted projects if Elvis is a massive hit.

Denzel is known to help actors with hard work ethic and visceral talent. Talent is wasted without work ethic. Denzel knows that and champions those who do. Austin would always try to be the first at the theatre before Denzel, would help others with their lines, would even help with backstage. When someone has promise in their chosen field, works tirelessly to build on their craft, and is of good character as well. That’s someone who deserves praise and mention.

@NoNo-ks4gg Год назад

. . . and you know all of this, how?

@leak7161 Год назад

Austin is not poor boy he was already in the industry. Help is when you help someone who's really talented struggling to get into the industry while working 10 to 10 to pay bills at the same time. Rich always help rich that's industry is full of untalented people. Austin on the other hand did a good job but I see no resembles with Elvis only make up n outfits.

@@chrisb5243 In the US, it was easier for the powers that be to crown an Elvis as "the king" of something than it was to acknowledge the people on whom he modeled himself. In particular, look at people like Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Big Mama Thornton--the woman who recorded "Hound Dog" before Elvis. You used the term "rock and roll." Even that term is from African American culture. Perhaps you and Denzel can take the same history class.

That was an unexpected surprise on the turn of events, especially the hiring. The film was amazing though with Butler catching the King's rhythmic moves. It reminded me of "Moulin Rouge" & "The Great Gatzby" with a sprinkle of "Nightmare Alley" (no suspense in there naturally).
