Denzel Washington on the presidential election and race relations in U.S. (By Nicholas Ballasy) 

"Who did you support during the election?" "None of your business" I like this guy. Denzel, that is.

One of the only celebrities that makes sense.

A Hollywood actor with a head on his shoulders. And he's a good actor too. I liked him in John Q.

Denzel is a class act, does so much to help people quietly, helps our troops, god bless him he loves the right things!

You passed the test, Danzel, by not being a politician. Thank you!

Denzel is not only a great actor but a great man. Just look at that beautiful queen standing next to him!

Denzel is an awesome human being. A little story about him. He was visiting BAMC (Brook Army Medical Center) in San Antonio to visit the troops, because he obviously cares, and when he asked about a few buildings sitting near the hospital he was told those are for visitors that are there to see their sons and daughters staying in the hospital. He mentioned that there wasn't very many of them and was told there really wasn't enough room for the visitors and that those visiting got to stay there for free. H whipped out his checkbook and wrote a check for 100K to help pay for more visitors quarters. Being a vet and having been to that hospital brought a tears to my eyes. So not ALL Hollywood people are ass holes, there is, at least one, that actually cares about someone else but themselves.

Denzel is the man. Wise man indeed.

denzel too smart for them people

"You can't legislate love." This is so true!

He's intelligent and has a beautiful wife.

Awesome and POWERFUL dialogue with the wife! Priceless..

Someone found out that Denzel is not an easy interview!

LMFAO Denzel is a true Brother he don't have time for this bullshit

Denzel and his wife stand for what is right not what is coloured or twisted in this world and are careful not to be pulled into a different direction....strength and blessings on your walk as you continue in what is the truth.......

Denzel Washington for President. You have my vote. Imagine him at a meeting, portraying his Frank Lucas character.

Denzel Washington for president, in 2020!...He has the name, the credibility, the likeability, the charm, the brains and the looks.

Always loved this guy.. Now I respect him even more

sharp, witty and blunt. I just got on a whole new level of respect for Denzel

How could anyone not like Denzel Washington?, when I look at him I don't just see a black man, I see a man, an American!!. Hell I would vote for him for President!! ( :

Denzel once said that he doesn't go to the elites party Doesnt go out, that he is a homebody. Very smart man

I love this guy He has the right attitude Hollywood could learn from him Actually we all could learn from him

You can tell he reads a lot

He is nobody's Hollywood stooge, like most of them are.

Denzel one of the smartest actors, Fences looks like real good movie

I have not seen your other interviews, but based on this one I have to compliment the interviewer. I appreciate that you asked direct questions and respected the answers without badgering. Great job.

"None of your business!" Bam!!

"Its up to us" Very True

wise words from a wise man!!! you can't legislate love WOW!!!! it's up to us....... that's TRUTH if you haven't heard it before.

This guy is a gem in Hollywood. Doesn't feel like plugging in politics, even if he's asked about it. Good on Denzel.

Not surprising. A thoughtful, gifted man.

Good return answers, very intelligent. Straight forward! Thank you! Mic'20

the epitome of a genuinely nice guy...and a fine actor too

Denzel is a great man

Wow! Denzel Washington is one of a very few of Hollywood stars that actually handled himself professionally. No bias one way or another. A true professional that is not only a great actor, but a great person by keeping his own personal politics to himself.

Denzel Washington is NOBODY'S fool! I love it!

I'm glad that Denzel can think for himself unlike these other celebrities that are 100% puppets

"You can't legislate love." Brilliant

You can tell that his wife is so proud of of him. He's an excellent role model not just for the black community but for all races and creeds.

Denzel knew that bastard was lying and called him out. 😂😂😂

I always loved this actor, and I’m so glad I can still do so ! So many actors have disappointed me for being so stupid and ignorant. You go Mr. Denzel !! Blessings.

Love how straight forward he is. He’s not afraid to share his thought. Thank u

Very smart man and respectful. GO DENZEL!

Man Denzel seems down to earth, I love how honest he is with his answers.

PEOPLE WATCH AND LEARN FROM THE COOLEST MAN ON THE PLANET............DENZEL!

He speaks the truth. He went to Fordham University. I attended Fordham Prep, also on that campus and I know from experience that the Jesuits were all about academics. That validates that he holds a high regard for education. He's also quite generous with his time towards helping others. In terms of jobs, I can vouch that he is generous as a producer of a film in that he pays his actors well with time and a half and double time. If he acts in a film, he provides jobs for people with film crew abilities as well wherever that movie is shooting. As a member of the Screen Actors Guild, I consider him to be an inspirational role model. If he reads this, I'm grateful. Thank you for the work on Equalizer 2.

Denzel a wise man

You can't legislate love. Man, he is good.

AMEN! Thank you, Denzel! "It's about love, Presidents don't regulate love!"

The more I hear Denzel Washington talk the more I like the guy.

king kong ant got shit on this guy

Denzel did a great job of telling you to stop asking questions about race.

Denzel Washington is an awesome person...

One man that hollywood doesn't own

Denzel should've asked him, "Are you a wolf, or a sheep"?

Such an incredibly talented actor with an uncommon amount of common sense.

that was the best reply ever from Denzel on race relations superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's Denzel for you telling it like it is God bless you brother

Lol reporters try to get him but he's too slick

"you can't legislate love"

See, this is what I'm talking about. There is a reason why they put curtains on a voting booth. "It's none of your business." I love it! I hope other celebrities take a cue from Mr. Washington here, and stop airing their political opinions. They are entertainers, not politicians.

One of my very favorite actors....I like him even more after watching this...intelligent, articulate, seems like a nice guy...love his movies.

Denzel gives the Best answers!!!

this is how a celeb conducts him or herself. Classy people know there is a time and place for everything. This is why I will always respect this man.

that black queen he the truth

Every time he speaks he makes me expand my mind with his insight

I like Denzel. He's smart and has a lot of class.

The press don’t got nothing on Denzel lol

Denzel is blunt as fuck and kinda mean at times but he is still Denzel

Denzel a true pillar of his community has done a fantastic job of redirecting the focus on what's really important....and that is 'people'.

Not your business..... Holy cow

I never thought much of Denzel, not bad or good. However, after his film flight, I finally see a different range from him. Now, I see him in a whole new light. I love how he is blunt, unleashed and not afraid to tell the truth.

He sounds like a politician, talking but not saying anything.

this is how you ghet respect by everyone if you are a music or hollywood celerity .. stay NEUTRAL

NOW, Y'ALL SEE HOW HIS LOVELY WIFE OF A LOOONNNGGG TIME I'M SURE, STANDS QUIETLY BY HER MAN/HUSBAND AND DOESN'T SAY SHIT?! Y'ALL SEE DAT SHIT! 😐

Wow Denzel Washington is so Intelligent and Articulate. This is why he's is my favorite actor.

Alonzo don't play that shit

You are a true gentlemen Mr. Washington! Peace be with you and your wife no matter what your political views may or may not be!

DENZEL TRANSLATION: 1. Obama was a waste of 8 yrs 2. Protests have been overdone 3. News outlets r full of shit 4. I voted for Trump .....Thank u Denzel!

"I'd have to be more informed...." LOVE that quote! I wish everyone had this thought before giving their opinions on things. We ALL should take a page out of your book, Mr. Washington! Bravo, sir!

haha! Denzel is awesome!

THANK YOU DENZEL IT IS NOBODY'S BUISINESS. HE COMES ACROSS AS AN INFORMED REASONABLE MAN WHO SPEAKS HIS TRUTH AND RESPECTS OTHERS RIGHTS DO DISAGREE...LOVE HIM.

Denzel Washington is a good man. I love his movies. Good

I always loved Denzel Washington. Such a remarkable actor, congrats to him on the premier of Fences. Ur no 1 fan, el Basil

Was he trying to get a rise out of him?

Ballasy, I came across a critical video of you getting owned by Mr Washington however it earns respect that you were man enough to ask these questions and above all share your interview with all of us. 👍 I wish you and your family a great and successful 2018.

bad interviewer.

Denzel had that "he's about to come with that bullshit" face

Who cares what Denzel thinks. Always acting Lol.

I LOVE Denzel even more! Extremely intelligent, honest, and charismatic!

I have lots of respect to this great human being whose job is acting.

I wish he would hold seminars to teach others in Hollywood how to think and behave like adults.

Denzel and Pauletta are too real for these reporters.

Denzel had him stumbling for words. Probably hasn't seen the movie yet.

I won't see many movies this year but I will see 'Fences" featuring Denzel Washington

So well put and respectful ! I only pray more ppl can come around to the realization that it is most definitely up 2 us

"You can't legislate love." I truly enjoy listening to Denzel and his wife, Pauletta. They are unabashed in their beliefs, humor and love of God. They are educated, respectful, humble and caring people. They have a way of engaging with each other during extremely annoying and persistent interviews like this one that makes me laugh. They are in control of the conversation, and even though they are annoyed, they still take the opportunity to teach this man in a subtle way, while allowing themselves a little fun.

Denzel be like: Ain't nobody got time for that 😉 He killed him with a smile 😌

He's a happy person.

Denzel Washington is a very respectful man not that I know him personally but I could tell he is a good father
